Finishing Strong
For the last walk of the month, Evan and I took advantage of the beautiful day and drove a quick 10 minutes to Fort Harrison State Park east of Indianapolis. We spent over three hours walking. My best estimate in terms of miles covered would be around five. We hit some geocaches while we were out and also managed to get lost in the woods for a bit. After jumping the river six different times and bushwacking our way through knee high foliage, we did finally find our way back to the car.
I’ve really enjoyed this month’s activity. I always considered myself a walker and considering the ease with which “walk a mile a day” was accomplished, I proved myself right. I only missed four days of walking the entire month. On many walks, I went much further than a mile. All tallied, I most likely covered 44 consciously-walked miles by foot. While I can’t say I am going to walk as frequently in the future as I have this month, I at least confirmed that I do enjoy walks and will continue to take advantage of the trails and neighborhood sidewalks as long as the weather stays sunny. Regardless of how often I go out in future, I have always viewed walks as a way to self-reflect or to spend time (cheaply) with friends and family. I look forward to the miles I have yet to cover and am excited to see what they bring.
