I walked to and from school on Monday. Adding in a trip to the bookstore, it was 10 miles total. I’m out of shape! The muscles that run along the sides of my back are so sore. For yesterday and today I’ve been doing shorter walks, waiting for my muscles to recover. Within the next few weeks I need to build up some strength and stamina. In the end of July, I’ll be walking 75 miles. Friends have been supportive and surprisingly unsurprised at hearing my plans. I guess they know me pretty good by now. Gives me a feeling that I’ve chosen my friends wisely.
Me thinks a desire to wander is in my blood. My feet have seen many miles. This adventure will be a larger, more formal undertaking and I document it as best I can. All the experiences I have on my walks rarely get recorded with any detail. I’ve found my own sadistic way of combining writing with walking.
