big-ass practice walk coming

This coming Saturday, I'm going to walk out to the Gwangnaru Bike Certification Center and back. That's close to a 35K-step walk, which ought to be good practice for the upcoming four-day walk starting on April 29. I've bought some extra painkillers to take along with me on my upcoming trek from Incheon to Yangpyeong. First, though, we'll see how Saturday goes. After my seven-day break is over, I do believe I'll start a program of Everesting. 102 times up the staircase, from the B1 level to the 26th floor, ought to take 51 calendar days. If I start on May 6, walking up the staircase twice a day, I'll finish on Thursday, June 25. By that point, I ought to be a bit thinner and a lot healthier, cardio-wise. And I'll be frank: if I plan on doing the stairs twice a day, it's highly unlikely I'll be distance-walking during the Everesting period. Twice a day up those stairs is enough torture for this poor fat boy.

Godspeed. I'm guessing your route will be due north up the Tan and then east along the Han?

Pretty much. The first 10 minutes of the walk take me ENE along the street next to my apartment by Daecheong Station. That puts me at the Tan Creek, and then it's a short jog northwest before the creek turns almost exactly due north to the Han.

The post title could be another lesson in the importance of hyphen placement. A "big ass-practice walk" would be quite a different thing.

A literal walk in the park
