What is it like to walk 14 kilometers home from get off work?

I was so excited a few days ago that I signed up for an outdoor activity and hiked 17 kilometers without seeing the requirements clearly. Later I learned that the time limit was 3 hours. My head was buzzing. I couldn’t understand the concept of 17 kilometers in three hours. I never knew whether I was walking fast or not. I had walked so far, but I didn’t keep track of time and was under no pressure. I had never tried running. The furthest I had ever run was 8 kilometers.

I also told Jian You about the registration. If I didn’t say anything, I could just pretend that I hadn’t signed up and just not go. There is nothing to do now. After thinking about it, I can only strengthen my exercise. So starting from today, let’s walk home from get off work. It's about 12 kilometers from the company to my home. In order to prevent myself from being lazy and taking a car back in the middle, I took a detour. There was no car for the second half of the way, so I wouldn't be lazy. After the detour, it was about 14.5 kilometers.

Below is what it feels like to walk 14 kilometers home from work. I thought very simply, walk back and take some photos on the way. I ignored my shoes and wore a pair of leather shoes.

I was really excited at the beginning, and I was observing where the best place to take pictures was while walking. The night view of East Lake was so beautiful that I didn’t waste it taking pictures. I squatted on the roadside to take pictures of the train tracks. The scenery by the lake is particularly beautiful. Although it is very windy by the lake, I warmed up while walking and didn't feel cold at all.

We set off from the company car at 6:40, took photos and walked along the way. Around 8 o'clock, we walked about 5 kilometers, and found a restaurant on the roadside to eat, because there should be nothing to eat in the second half of the road. .

I set off half an hour later at 8:35. I checked with the map navigation and found that the shortest distance was about 8 kilometers, but I had to take a detour, which would take about 9 kilometers. Looking at the calculated time on the map, I saw that it would take more than 2 hours to get home at 10:45. Now I was anxious because I had never walked on the detour and I didn’t know what the road conditions were like or whether there would be anyone on the detour. , it would be too scary to be alone without anyone else. Speed ??up, otherwise the later you get, the more people there will be.

The 2.2 kilometers from 8.8 kilometers to 11 kilometers was deserted, and there was not even a taxi in sight. The lights were dim. Occasionally, a private car passed by and I felt scared when I saw me slowing down. , all kinds of persecution paranoia broke out, but it was impossible to go back, and there was nowhere to turn. It was really impossible to reach the front and back. At this time, because I was wearing leather shoes, my feet were still very painful. In this case, I should walk slower to relax my feet. However, I had no choice but to go slow because I was afraid. I had to pass these two kilometers as fast as possible and endure it. My feet hurt and I quickened my pace. If necessary, I took two steps. Fortunately, it was only 2.2 kilometers.

When I finished walking the 2.2 kilometers, I walked non-stop for more than an hour, totaling 6 kilometers. It was already 9:40, and seeing that there were still 3.5 kilometers to go, I almost cried. I saw someone when I turned a corner, and I quickly chased after him. As I chased, I told myself that I had to go to work tomorrow, and I had to take a shower and wash clothes when I got home. I had to be home by a little after 10 o'clock. My requirement for myself was 10:10. If you continue at the same speed, it's almost enough in theory. You've already reached this point, and it's not bad to be a little more tired. At this time, I no longer felt the pain in my feet, and I was focused on getting home as soon as possible. Soon, he threw the man in front of him 10 meters away. At 10:10, I was still 400 meters away from home. I started to slow down and waited for the elevator. I arrived home at 10:20 sharp.

I walked continuously for 1 hour and 45 minutes, totaling 9.5 kilometers. I didn’t dare to lie down immediately when I got home. I changed my shoes and stretched my legs before I dared to sit down. It was a sore feeling. I felt like my foot was going to break. The right sole of my foot was about to blister and was red. I haven't felt so sour and happy in a long time.

The biggest benefit of exercise is to improve the quality of sleep. I basically rely on reading a book to fall asleep every day. I usually fall asleep in half an hour. Yesterday I fell asleep. Usually when the alarm clock goes off the next day, I can turn it off and stay in bed for half an hour, waiting for the next alarm clock to go off, and then stay on for another ten minutes. But this morning, after the alarm clock went off at 6 o'clock, I couldn't sleep because of the pain. I had no choice but to get up. After washing, I felt refreshed and my body felt lighter. It was not really lighter, but I had sweated all over and the waste water had been discharged. I felt a lot more relaxed.

After experiencing yesterday’s rampage, I roughly know that even if I think I walk very fast (just my opinion), when I go to participate in the event at this speed, 17 kilometers, three hours, I am basically still Very dangerous.

I made a plan for myself. From now on, I will walk home at least two days a week and run at night for at least two days a week, at least 10 kilometers. In this way, if I run half the distance and walk half the distance, I will still finish the race. There is hope.

Training for 3 weeks, I hope I can complete the competition by then.
