We've been in a cool spell for a while. I'd love to do my 120K walk before this cool spell leaves us, but I'm so close to finishing the movie-review book's ms that I don't want to abandon it quite yet. So I guess what's going to happen is this:
1. Finish the ms.
2. Take a 120K walk.
3. Come back, add the rest of the book's material, do final checks, and publish the ebook.
Final checks are, of course, never final. I'm sure I'll read through the published ms and find all sorts of annoying errors. Luckily, I can correct these errors in the MS Word and Kindle files, reupload, and the reuploaded version of the ebook will self-update for everyone who's already bought the book. Everybody wins!
They're forecasting a brief bout of rain for Thursday afternoon, then nothing but awesomeness through the 15th. Better get cracking with the ms. I already did my workout today (resistance band, with a smattering of kettlebell, bodyweight, and dumbbell suitcase carry).
About that 120K walk: Although I hate this idea, I think I'm going to save money by ending each walk and simply bunking at home, which means training out to the starting point of each segment every day except Day 3. In case you've forgotten what this well-traveled route entails:
Day 1: Incheon starting point to Gayang neighborhood, western Seoul.
Day 2: Gayang neighborhood to my neighborhood (Daecheong Station, Gangnam).
Day 3: My neighborhood to Hanam City.
Day 4: Hanam City to Yangpyeong City.
For the four segments, it's roughly 32K, 28K, 26K, 35K. About 121K. If I plan to rest every night in my own place, I might not even carry a backpack. That would make the journey a lot easier. The disadvantage with resting at my place every night is the inconvenience of using the subway to go home and go back out every morning. It's not a huge inconvenience, but given the subway's hours, I'll be starting fairly late every morning. Not that that matters much: While I might take a slew of photos, I most likely won't be blogging this journey.
It occurs to me that I could expand this walk to 154K by doing the 33K segment from Yangpyeong to Yeoju. That would be the distance equivalent of the Geumgang trail, which I plan to reattempt this fall (depending on my work situation). I'll think about it.
