christopher575Pulled my hydration pack out of the closet yesterday and cleaned it so I could use it today. I wanted to go even further than last week and knew it would be dumb to head out without it.
If you're thinking that photo looks like an Instagram shot, it's because it is. I got a new phone yesterday and finally decided to join. If you'd like to connect there, my handle is xtopher575. I'm sad I couldn't get christopher575, or c575, or x575, or even fivesevenfive. Oh well.
The new phone's got a really wonderful camera.
I stopped here for a photo so I could compare the quality to the one I took a week ago with the old phone.
The only thing I set out to do specifically today was the perimeter trail at the Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary.
It's a pretty nice trail, though I don't know how often I'll go back. Their hours don't work too well with how early I'm out walking these days. When winter comes, I might go out later since it'll be pitch black when I like to go now. Anyway, the trees were nice.
The phone does quite well close up without even having to change modes.
9.44 miles in 3:10, 20,298 steps, 652ft gain
Once I was done with the wetland sanctuary, I had a few choices. I decided to explore the roads in the upper portion of Boulevard Bluffs since I'd never been there before. I decided to just enter the neighborhood and follow the sidewalk all the way around the entire thing, taking every right turn. It's a pretty neighborhood with some nice views, but kinda cookie cutter and dull. Definitely a nice quiet place to go when I want to get some miles in without having to go very far away. I went almost four miles just in that one neighborhood!
As I got near to where I parked, I realized I still had quite a bit of energy left, so I went over to the trails for a bit. I didn't enter where I meant to, but I did manage to walk a nice section of trail I didn't recognize.
I went ahead and paid for a year of MVP on MapMyRun because I was curious how many walks I've done that were longer than today's. MVPs can export their walk history into a spreadsheet, so I did that and sorted it. Today was my 30th longest walk. I've had:
14 of them between 9 and 10 miles
12 between 10 and 11
3 between 11 and 12
4 between 12 and 13
3 between 13 and 14
And finally, my longest walk ever was 14.54 miles. I've recorded 1,073 walks totaling 3,071 miles, in 1,016 hours.
