New Year’s Day, and what better way to start it than by defying the norm? While the world slept off the festive cheers, my sneakers hit the ground running – or, more accurately, walking. With a whopping 11.5k steps and 9.5km covered, I found myself amid the tranquil whispers of nature, the sun gracing the day with its golden gaze.
Each step was a conversation with the earth; each mile, a chapter in a story of progress. The landscapes, a canvas of January blues and greens, were splashed with the occasional sunbeam – nature’s own version of a motivational poster. And let’s not forget the allure of the post-walk stats that make the quantified self in us do a little victory dance.
So here’s to the countless steps yet to come, to the paths waiting to be discovered, and to the sunsets and sunrises that’ll bookmark our days. 2024, we’re walking on sunshine!
