9pm
My friend Greg is coming to the apartment. The plan is to throw the packs on and roam the streets, alleyways, bridges, garages, etc., of downtown Fort Myers. I have my work out clothes on. Loading the backpack with water. Waiting for dude, then we hit the road. Wait, almost forgot my headlamp and flashlight!
This morning I did not track my run. In fact, I did not want the distraction of the phone. It felt good not to be checking my Strava or worrying about my goal mileage. I just wanted to not have to worry about such things. It was just me and the pavement.
I’d do the same thing tonight, but I feel like it’s important I commit to analyzing my data in order to constantly improve. The phone is back in.
12am
We walked all over downtown tonight. It wasn’t very vigorous exercise, but it was still nice to get out. Apparently, part of my urban hiking experience this evening needed to include a stop at Downtown House of Pizza. To my dismay, the pizza wasn’t quite as greasy as it usually is. What? Health food pizza? What? Anyhow, I enjoyed every bite to spite the caloric shortage.
We completed just around 5 miles, with several stops and detours, but we got out there. Another successful urban hike!
