Experiencing what 20 kilometres feels like

A few landmarks

Each time we walk I look out for my favourite landmarks, the Spotted Thick-knee's that are a permanent feature along the fence of the Killarney Golf Club, or the mosaic at the back end of the walk towards Killarney. I am also loving seeing new things too as we venture further away from home on each walk.

Yesterday was yet another milestone for my Eco Ventures Ultra Walk preparation; my first 20 kilometre walk to the Cnr. Cafe in Craighall Park.

Each time we add distance the experience during the walk differs.
I walked through the discomfort of my feet and eventually they almost receded as a background noise as other parts of my body took the foreground.

I noticed how tired I was feeling in my upper body at the back end of the walk, shoulders and back, even my neck.

Total kilometres to date: 385

I received this link from a walker I know and it is so on point about walking in our suburbs, thanks Sharon:

Late night, early morning but still happy to have an easy walk to Rosebank for movies.

Hot walking back but feeling fine.

A security guard saw me on both legs of the walk and said to me, "I see you are really  fit", I replied, “Getting there” and he said, “ No you there.”

Just made me grin, stepped a little stronger and kept going.
