ᕦ(ò_óˇ) Day 8 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens

Went for a 14km walk today again. I got up at 9AM but the train took a while so I was at the beginning of my walk at 11AM. The saloon opens at 12PM for me so seems like I am testing the boundaries of the streak definition: "exercising before the saloon opens".

I'll have to get up earlier. It's also getting quite late when I get back home. My original idea with the streak was to always be back when the saloon opens!

I mentioned here that I would try to find my way using the sun. That worked quite well! I only got slightly confused when I have seen a highway sign for my destination which pointed in the opposite direction. But I realized I am not a car and thus it's not meant for me.

No pictures today in the name of privacy - also there wasn't anything particular interesting except a bigger hill I thought about capturing for @DarthCoin because of his comment yesterday.

Tomorrow I'll go shooting at 10AM. Have to think if that counts as exercise. Maybe I'll just walk there, too. It's 6km and up a hill - actually, that's quite a big hill, so maybe it's actually not that flat around here? ;)

wow 14km impressive... few people can walk/hike/run that. I know a guy that after each 1km must stop because he said that is too much for him.

My record in a day straight was 29km over 5 mountains with high levels included and harsh terrain. But that was years ago....

Thanks! Didn't know that this would be impressive. I also walked that distance yesterday more or less by accident. I didn't think I would make it but then I was back in familiar terrain faster than I expected. Then I knew I could make it, lol. Then I thought, let's do this again tomorrow!

It's tiring at the end but it's still just walking. One step at a time. Sitting on a bench also feels very relieving. I also think the last 2 kilometers when I am in urban area again take up the most time, lol. So much traffic, so easy to get lost. I hate looking at maps.

Interesting! In flat terrain, that would already probably take around 8 hours. Can't imagine how long it would take over mountainous terrain ... you still remember?

My walks have been quite flat so far but I really start to like these long walks. I really get a feeling for how much I can walk and what my "action radius" is.

I want to find out how much is too much for me in the next weeks. I am basically doing calisthenics, running and then 2x long walk so far.

Started at 8AM and end up at 22PM, with backpacks and stuff, with my 14 yrs daughter. Was a harsh hike but we had to do it in one day, otherwise were losing the last bus to take us home. The highest peak was 3000m in that hike.

Indeed 14km on flat is easy, you don't even realize when you are done.

Great job. That’s a great distance! Keep it up (and 6km uphill counts!)

Just the last kilometer is up a hill. I am just afraid I am starting to make excuses again, lol
