walking route from house to Reebok

There is a very useful Google Maps as pedometer tool on the web that allows you to calculate your walking distance. I always walk to and from the house to Reebok, and my route is 2.8km each way.

With my current weight of 96kg, that adds up to 564 kcals round trip. Yay the walking!
