Step by step

Thursday is one of my solitary walking days and I usually try to step it up so to speak and make it a long one. Well, long being a relative term. I’m no Kevin Kim after all.

Anyway, to change it up a little and make it a bit more interesting (for me at least) I decided that I would take a photo in 1000 step increments. Whatever I happened to see wherever I happened to be when I hit that marker. Not really difficult as depending on terrain I am pretty consistent in walking 1000 steps every ten minutes. So, it was just a matter of glancing at my watch and checking my Fitbit, then pulling out the phone and snapping a picture. Here’s how it turned out:

The first step.
1000 steps.
2000 steps.
3000 steps.
4000 steps.
5000 steps.
6000 steps.
7000 steps.
8000 steps.
9000 steps.
10,000 steps.
11,000 steps.
12,000 steps.
13,000 steps
14,000 steps.
15,000 steps
16,000 steps
Last step.
Home sweet home
Tired yet?

Yeah, I’m usually an 8K kinda guy. No mountains to climb today though made it easier to put in some extra distance. Anyway, it was kinda fun to anticipate where I’d be when it was time for the next photo op.

Best of all, I remembered how to get home!

I can’t remember where I heard that before.

Anyway, that’s about it from here. Oh, I don’t think I mentioned that I sold my first pot of chili. The Hasher (Preying Mantis) that always gets takeout for her husband when I make a batch for the Hash asked if I’d make a pot of chili for them. Turns out they live on a sailboat and are going to be taking a cruise this week. I guess my chili is going along to provide nourishment on the trip. I only charged her the 500 pesos it cost me for the ingredients but it’s kinda cool having people willing to pay for anything I cook.

That’s Preying Mantis kneeling in white on the right. She’s gotta be close to six feet tall. I find her quite attractive for a married woman. Alas, she only loves my chili!

See, I found an opportunity to share a gratuitous photo of the female Hashers (Gash) at their Christmas party. You’re welcome.

  1. Well, it has been said that a photo is worth a thousand steps.

    Glad you liked it. Of course, using this format I can never do the same trail twice!

  2. Yup, great pics of the walk. You do live in a very picturesque part of our universe.

    (and a nice pic of the ladies. LOL)
