Logging Walking

Not sure if this is a really boring question but: does it make any difference whether you log walking all in one go? That is what I have been doing but I wondered whether its cheating.
For example today I will walk about 13 mins and then 25 mins later and then 15 mins even later. Should I just add it all up do you think?

    Yeh, add it up. Reassess if you're logging too many walking cals if you hit a plateau.

    Thanks!
    I just sometimes have people congratulate me on a walk that looks like an hour when actually its just four short walks and I feel like I'm cheating! If there's no difference in kcals then I suppose its silly to do it separately though.

    I prefer to log discrete exercise sessions separately, but as long as you're recording accurately, it shouldn't cause any trouble. I used JogTracker for Android when I was taking walks during work.
