    Depends how fast you were going. Maybe use mapmywalk.com to map your route and then you can figure it out.

    I think most pedometers wil tell you miles -- they are pretty cheap.

    You can't just change the minutes to miles because it all depends on how fast you walked. If you mean minutes per mile to mph, if you Google it, you should be able to find a bunch of calculators. Don't know what kind of phone you have, but I downloaded an app called iMapMyRun (also works for walking) and I set it to record my workout as I'm walking. When I'm done, it tells me how many minutes I walked, how many miles, how many minutes per mile & an estimate of calories burned. It also shows me my route and elevation, etc. You might try something like that. As far as entering walking into MFP, all you have to do is search for walking and pick your speed - leisurely pace, brisk pace, slow pace, etc. Then enter the number of minutes you walked & it will give you the number of calories burned, although I find them to be slightly higher than what iMapMyRun gives me.

    If you have say "50 walk minutes at 3MPH",

    then Miles during those 50 minutes = (Speed in MPH) multiplied by (walk minutes) and then divided by 60
    = (3 MPH) x (50 min) / 60
    = 2.5 miles

    I use Coolrunning.com's pace calculator: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/4/4_1/96.shtml.

    This might not work, because you need to know how far you walked.
