Changing climate from hot Riyadh to the mountains of Poland, with half of a night spent in the Dubai airport had put a bit of a strain on my body. Didn’t feel well yesterday. Plus the weather was simply

Between church, lunch at my Mom-in-low and… blog writing, I managed to insert a two hours walk. The day is windy and rainy, but my walk was in a window of bearable weather. Interestingly, I had fewer steps

After a week in Riyadh it was great to be back to hiking in the cold. Even if the weather was not that great - bleak day, with heavy clouds. It had deterred a few of my hiking companions. We went by train

Back home from Riyadh. Which means swapping city walks in +20° and sun C for a Saturday hike in +3° and rain (forecast for tomorrow doesn’t deter me) ;-) Step-wise the working week in Saudi wasn’t too

I finished work at 1pm on my last day in Riyadh. Completing the project at the customer, I didn’t feel obliged to spend the rest of the day in our office. Instead, I went to the National Museum. The museum

My walking ventures in Riyadh were limited today by a dinner with two guys that I work here with. Having come from Poland, Philippines and South Africa we couldn’t be any further apart. Yet we genuinely

Significantly hotter today here in Riyadh than yesterday. My 7am walk to the office was at “t-shirt temperature” - although for most locals 18° means winter and they need jackets or coats even. Midday

My booking, work schedule and weather presented me with an opportunity to make the @poprzeczka target of 29k steps while I’m in Riyadh, SA. Booking - due to some event here hotels were fully booked and

Working in Riyadh this week. When I announced my plans to walk from the office to my hotel (4,5kn) , people looked at me with a mix of admiration and “this guy from Poland is crazy”. Pleasant stroll -the

Yesterday’s 25k steps had been hard to achieve. I had had 1500 at 17:00 and a long walk in dark, drizzle and wind ahead of me. Target achieved but it was a mental struggle. Today’s 26k have been easily

Same schedule as yesterday- early morning work with SA, late afternoon with US. Two significant differences- finished work 1,5hrs earlier than yesterday and the weather was more manageable (still windy

Long work - morning with Saudi Arabia, now finishing with the US. I didn’t get out at all today. Could have sneaked out of work midday but the weather was awful- strong wind and rain. No way… This means

I started regular Pilates exercises. Sitting work takes its toll. I need to strengthen (or discover…) my core muscles. Walking / hiking is not enough, even if my daily average is 19-20k steps. After 3

To visit my friend on his birthday I walked 15km. Bought a gift on the way. One may ask - don’t you have a car or public transportation over there? My answers is why would I drive if I could walk? ;-)

Following a beautiful Saturday, we enjoyed equally beautiful Sunday. Just above freezing point, no wind and sunny. I had to work in the early morning, then church. However I spent the whole afternoon outdoors.

I knew the day would be beautiful but in reality it was beyond any expectations. Slightly below zero, clear blue skies and a thin layer of snow - below ankle level. Plus a fantastic group of hikers - ranging

The first 7 rounds of the current @poliac season were…. well, there’s room for improvement. Only 2 wins and 5 sound defeats from @fredkese, @manuvert, @davidthompson57, @benbow2017 and @bucipuci. I could

After heavy snowfalls last Tuesday and yesterday, winter spent most of today destroying the pristine white world it had created. Temperature well over freezing point and rain for most of the day have turned
