This morning
bill_schubert showed a link to this cool site where you can map your walk and see the distance you have gone (it is in km). I just tried it out with the hike that Jan and I did yesterday. Usually I carry a GPS watch with me and it tells me very accurately how many miles I have gone plus when I get home I can hook it up to my computer and it shows me the map but I forgot to bring it yesterday. So this site showed me in a general way about how far we walked. Though I think our walk might have been farther than the 6.1 km I mapped cause the trail wanders through the woods and I mapped it pretty straight:
https://www.maps.ie/map-my-route/viewMap.php?route=66473 6.1 km is equal to about 3 3/4 miles and I think my feet agree that the hike was at least that far. They were hurting. I am trying to not walk over 3 miles at a time till the plantar fasciitis is all better.
The weather has turned cold. And overcast again. I am so glad I got out yesterday in the sun and took some pictures. I had this idea that our autumn was messed up and late but I looked at pictures from years before and it looks about the same. Though I think the leaves started turning late this year but at this point things are the same.
Rotating around the house this morning - doing a little to declutter the dining table, glue and paint a page in my journal, fold a few clothes, practice the uke a bit, check the computer (write this LJ), plus check the bathroom for chicken poo, empty and fill the dishwasher and just general puttering, rinse and repeat...
