Happy New Year's Eve! 🎉🎊😊
Out here on the West Coast, we still have one hour and 45 minutes until 2022 arrives but back home, the new year is already here. 🎆
After the last 365 days of walking ahead, it seems appropriate that tonight I dally about slowly walking into the new year. ⏳Geography and time zones are forcing me to wait out the new start of the year and that is fine!🕰️
Since January 1, 2021, I have walked at least 21 minutes every single day no matter the weather, time of day, or where in the country I was. It was great being outside so much and some of my best thinking and praying happened during the starlit black nights as the Christmas lights twinkled in the snow. I literally wore holes into the boots that carried me around the Austrian terrain two years prior and sometimes my little sidekick joined me. Other times, I walked with other friends, my mom or other family members, or I took a more leisurely pace and invited Charlotte and her friends to join which inevitably led to many breaks, playing "rock soccer", and somehow winding up at playgrounds on the route. 😅
When alone, I often listened to the Messy Family Project or Fr. Mike's Bible in a Year podcasts and other times, I simply walked on in silence.
This daily goal started a year ago when a friend suggested running a mile per day for 2021. My response was 😳 then 🤔. See below...
Then, one month into it, I said this. 😊
This is a pretty cool goal to meet tonight. 🎯 There were definitely times I didn't feel like walking. On some, I barely cranked out a walk before midnight during the long days and nights at work but I did it anyway!
Looking forward to continuing this trend and tacking on an extra minute for 22 in 2022!
Happy New Year! 👣
