Day 229 - The long way home
I decided as the weather was clear that I would walk home from church today. I took clothes to change into, and changed in the car after church was over. I walked back past Lake Kilarney and the trails through there and then down 38th avenue. As I got closer to our house, I ended up heading east on 380th street and coming back around through the Jovita Interurban trail. This route ended up giving me 8.3 miles for the day. Which was sufficient, as I usually dont get quite that many on a Sunday. It was also Superbowl Sunday, and I was planning on hunkering down for a while in the afternoon. My knee is still hurting pretty bad, so decided to take the rest of the day off.
Here is a check-in on the progress of my 'ToddlingAroundTheWorld' goal: since starting the Virtual walking program on July 6th, 2016, just about 3 1/2 years ago, I have now walked 10,964.3 MILES! This leaves me with 5,746.3 MI remaining to complete the 16,710.7 MI of my goal of walking around the world.
This journey has taken me along the 47 degrees of latitude from Seattle to 50 degrees at Prague. I have virtually walked through eastern European countries of Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and into Asia through Turkey. Then onto Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan and finally into the huge country of China. It has taken me a number of months to get through China and I was initially working to follow a route close along the Great Wall. I have finally conquered China and have landed in the Yellow Sea, outside of Beijing! Next up, cross through Korea, and onto Sendai, Japan, a place which hold a big piece of my heart as that is where I was called to serve as a missionary.
