I love the idea of #CityStrides, which is basically a game where you try to "run" all the streets in your "city" and compete against everyone else doing likewise.

But because the US concept of cities doesn't really map on to the haphazard nature of administrative boundaries in the UK, our "city" is actually an entire county with many towns and villages and miles upon miles of rural country road.

Couple that with the fact that we walk instead of running, and it's going to take us a while!

So in the meantime we spend most Sunday mornings driving out to some small town and walking as much of it as possible in one go before my leg starts to complain.

Makes for some weird route maps! 😄

#Walking

Just walked five and a half miles in the rain, all to collect 15 more streets in #CityStrides. Because it turns out I'm only willing to exercise if it's gamified enough, apparently.

But now, a reward stottie to make it all worthwhile! No regrets.

Inevitably, #Walktober ended in a downpour - but at least this #duck is enjoying the #rain! (#StreetArt from #JamesStraffon)
And I've loved the month of evening & urban #walks—keeping my legs moving through dark of the year
Thanks @GoJauntly for the idea & #CityStrides for location inspiration!

#CityStrides can be a great way to find those bits of #London I can easily to get to, yet habit and pinch-points keep me away. But tools can be the most dangerous masters – I need to resist the temptation to stare at the map too much, keep seeing the world around me.

I reached a little personal milestone at the weekend: I have now completed half the streets in the city (municipality) of Malaga, as measured by CityStrides.

The city has 4580 named streets, and I have covered 2291 of them on foot.

CityStrides is probably my 2nd most used OpenStreetMap "end user" application, after OsmAnd.

How much do I know my city? It seems not much! Only 5.25% mapped. Just found Citystrides, it helps me to map my runs and run new streets with WorkOutDoors. One dev project I'm happy to support.

Finished my first City with #citystrides! Yes!
100% of all roads of Mühlheim-Kärlich.
Feels good. It's a small city though.
