Since it was such a beautiful day here in Toronto today, I decided I would attempt a longer walk. My intent when I started out was to do about 5kms more than my longest walk which would have meant 18kms. After I got out on the trail, I decided to just keep walking to Taylor Creek Park. I had no idea how far it was but I wanted a location goal instead of a distance goal. Of course, by the time I got up to Taylor Creek Park, I was still feeling fine. But then reality set it...I still had to walk home! I decided just to take a bit of a break and have a snack. I still hadn't figured how far I had gone. So by the time I got home, I had hit the 22km mark!!! To put it into perspective for those of you back home, it's pretty much like walking from Lanark to Perth and then back as far as Balderson. The next time you are driving 115, think about that! I'm a bit sore tonight but then I always am when I bump up the hike distance. Oh well, good thing I still have about a bit over 4 months to keep training.
Oh ya, I got my new passport today...picture is obscene but it should suffice to get me into France/Spain/Italy/Croatia. One less thing on the list to get done!
