It’s great to be #aliveandthriving. The 3rd stage of my Easter hike started with a 1:30hrs climb. To say it was windy, would be a huge understatement. While we are between trees and even in the sub-alpine

Second day of my Easter hike was 30km with +1800m of total elevation gain. At about 1/3 we stopped for a little rest. It happened to be next to a small chapel. People had just left after the Easter morning

Poland’s mountains are now dotted with crocuses (proper name: Spisz Safran). They pop up on open, sunny meadows and delight the wanderers. I am doing a 80km trail over the Easter long weekend. Divided

During a road construction, trees are protected with a non-woven fabric. Some birds (@marianomariano would know the species) have discovered that the material is perfect for a comfy nest. So they help

The target for @poprzeczka was 28k steps today. Easily done, given my relaxed pre-Easter work schedule. This said, I wanted to add some more, as my today’s @poliac opponent crushed me in the first round.

Last year I kept winter tyres (southerners may not know the concept of changing tyres for winter…) until mid April. This year end of March is late. I could have swapped them last week. While I was having

When I looked outside the window when I got up, I didn’t see anything. Minutes later I was outdoors and made the above photo. I knew the day would be sunny. The question was - warm sunny or cold sunny?

Short of a snow blizzard, today was four seasons of the year compressed. We have a saying in Polish “w marcu jak w garncu” / “in March as in a pot” referring to a “dynamic” weather. Very true today. I

One Sunday in a month is for my Dad and his charity for Roma children. It’s a lot of driving and sitting. I can make steps by serving at the table or sneaking out during Sunday School. Which is what I

Normally on Saturdays I do mountains hikes. Today however I opted for a long hike… starting where I live. We have here a 125km trail that connect 10 cities and towns but does so in such a way that long

The second round of @poliac 17 started yesterday. My first rematch was vs @manuvert. I had planned something special for the occasion. There’s a private Ford Museum in my town. I had never visited it,

The first day of astronomical spring matched the occasion. Warm and sunny, but getting cold after sunset. A morning walk with borrowed dogs and afternoon walk to library (where I delivered a lecture on

Today comes my third lost match in @Poliac 17. 3 losses in 16 matches means 13 wins. Not too bad. Not too bad at all! This report was published via Actifit app (Android | iOS). Check out the original version

Adjusting my steps to my today’s @poliac rival (and hoping he doesn’t do anything extraordinary), I had to do some 400 steps in my apartment to reach the @poprzeczka target before going to bed. Such a

A &Poliac match vs @manuvert is a serious thing. He’s been defeated only once in the current season and tops the ranking table. I had planned my activities carefully. I had account for serving at church

My today’s hike was significantly shorter than the last 2 - only 14km and 550m of elevation gain. Two reasons - my friend’s wife (61) returning to hiking after an injury and… Pedro the dog. Pedro is a

A day similar to previous days this week. The difference was that I promised my mom-in-law to do shopping. It included heavy and bulky garden soil bags, so I had to drive rather than walk. When delivered,

I am really glad I had volunteered for walking two dogs in the mornings. They give an excellent opportunity to start the day with 7-10k steps. Then, after work (home office), it’s not that challenging

… but it’s not a duck. Anyone knows the bird pictured above? Anyway, activity-wise, I repeated yesterday. Doing an experiment- I am in 3 days fasting but maintaining above normal activity (80k total steps
