This was something I planned to do a few months ago, and now is done.

Last Friday, July 29, I walked 52 kilometers. (32.5 miles)

I spent 13 hours walking, from eight o clock morning to nine PM (1 hour resting). Slept for 14 hours after the journey.

The terrain was non-flat, through an abandoned road, but I'm OK now, resting at my house.

The next steps are 75 km in a day. (46.6 miles) and
100 km (62 miles) (24 hours walking, non stop)
but in a distant future.
Nurse!

Moderators: I presume posting google earth pictures is not a problem since there was a forum game that required players to post them. Any problem, just contact me.

Fine effort.

Are these walks for charities, competitions, just fun and exercise?

Just a challenge.
I just wanted to see how far I could walk in one day.

I must say -- this is incredible! Quite an achievement.

Your walk practically spans an entire satelite image on Google Earth! And it's an abnormally tall image, dare I say.

Nice job! But I'll always remember what my 3rd grade teacher said on this year's winter trip: "You always seem to recover fast from tiring walks or runs!" Yep, I feel I'm quite like that.

One important thing: Kids, don´t even try to do it by yourself. Walking outside can be very dangerous.
