Perception of Distance. My Actifit Report Card: February 2 2022
I used to be not a very active person (it’s an understatement). 20kg ago, I was all in IT work and gaming and books as past time. I did of course occasional walks or hikes, but I was living a sedentary life. Distances like 5km seemed far, far away.
A few years ago my life changed. I lost the extra 20kg and gradually have become more active. No sports, no gym. Only hiking (first only “in high season” since last year all weekends) and walking (initially I was happy with 10k steps per day). COVID pandemic, paradoxically only enforced the new, walking me. And so did 
I hike every Saturday in mountains (~15km in winter and up to 30km when the days are longer). I walk where previously I would only drive. Like today - I went to visit my Mom-in-law (I wish every married man had such an in-law as I do!) and did some groceries for her. She lives 5km from my place. Perfect walking distance, even if it is February and the skies cannot decide whether to pour down rain, snow or both. I didn’t ponder whether to drive or to walk. I simply put on my winter hiking cloths and set off. So 5km one way. Coffee, some sweets, nice chat, some photos and a bit of history (who else among you, men, LIKES to spend time with your Mom-in-law?!). Then 5km back - and I didn’t even think that I could take a bus.
Yesterday it was 15km walk to my Sis (that’s one way; on return I did take a bus but still walked the last 6km).
So my perception of distance has changed. 30km walk? Yeah, no problem if I need or want to. I like the new, upgraded version of me. I am #AliveAndThriving
