I did something yesterday I really wanted to do. I'm glad I did it. I will never do it again
I have been wearing a fitbit for the last 8 years. Tracking my steps/milage has become something of an addiction. I routinely do 25K to 35K steps a day. But yesterday I decided to go for a personal best. Previously I had done 50K in a day 3 times and 55K once. I woke up early and felt pretty good and started walking at 4:30am. I said this is it, today I am gonna hit 60K. My pace gets me about 6K per hour so 60K means I have to walk for 10 hours. I hit 30K at around 10am and felt great. But the more I went the more breaks I had to take. Shortly after 5pm I hit the 60K! The last 10K were tough. My feet were throbbing, my calves were sore and my shoulders hurt. But the feet were the worst. So I got my 60K (a little over 27 miles) and I collapsed in my lazy boy. I slept really good last night
I took a couple of tylenol woke up and felt okay albeit a little stiff and sore. But I got 25K in today and feel pretty good. I plan to medicate with some alcohol tonight
Don't forget to drink green beer all weekend until you have an overwhelming urge to kiss the Blarney stone!
