Blogging while walking

One thing I've yet to decide is whether or not I'll update this blog while I'm actually walking the Tokaido, and if so how. When Erik and I walked the Nakasendo, I kept a written diary each day, but I didn’t update my blog until I got home. Quite often the hotels we stayed in had computers in the lobby from which we could access the Internet, and Erik used these to update his blog. But I was usually too tired to do this. Plus I like to take my time when writing blog entries and usually edit what I've written a number of times. Not something I want to do standing in a hotel lobby.

I notice Blogspot offers an option whereby you can update your blog via email. I'll have a mobile phone with an email function with me when I do the walk. So I suppose I could do some brief daily updates that way and write full entries after I get back. It's obviously a topic that needs more thought.

Distance walked today: 0km
Total distance walked since Tokaido training began: 57.2km
Days left until departure: 77
