How am I doing on my 100 Mile Fitness Challenge? Great! I’ve passed the 100 kilometer / 75 mile milestones! The exact numbers are: 124 km and 77 miles. I am still in the running for this challenge!
I had two really nice walks this week: about 15 km around Nijkerk with the Wandelgrrls and another 15 km with wlfr (a.k.a. @variomatic) from Delft to Zoetermeer for the first stage of our new hiking project: Groene Hart Pad. We finished our other project, 163 km of Utrechtpad, last July. It took us about three years and the Groene Hart Pad is just a bit longer: 192 km… I hope we will be able to finish that in three years as well!
“These boots are made for walking…”
The picture of two hiking boots was taken on the walk with wlfr… It was really weird to come across these perfectly good shoes standing idly ‘in the middle of nowhere’! Well nowhere: the name Groene Hart signifies the still ‘Green Heart’ of urbanized Holland; the area around Gouda where cows for Gouda cheese need to graze ;)

77 miles! You’re doing great and should definitely get your 100 miles. Hopefully even more than that. :) Glad you’re doing this with us!

These boots remind me of Henry leaving his shoes behind in The Time Traveler’s Wife. Did you read that novel? The photograph of the boots would make a very fitting one for such a review post.

Hee, you’re right! Hadn’t thought of it (it’s been a long time since I read The Time Traveler’s Wife). So funny.
