I've taken it easier this week on my weekday walks (I've only walked 25 miles) than I have in the past few weeks (when I accumulated anywhere from 33-42 miles). I'm saving my energy for the hike I'm planning on doing on Sunday. I feel much better about hiking long distance this weekend than I did last Friday.
Over the past 4 weekends I have been escalating my weekend hikes. I have gone from 4.8 to 11.5 to 17.8 to 22.6 miles. If all goes as planned then I will do a 28-30 mile hike this weekend.
Due to time constraints and other scheduled activities next weekend, Labor Day weekend, will be my last weekend for long distance hiking until at least October. I'm planning to attempt a 32-35 mile hike that weekend from my apartment in Takoma Park, MD to Shirlington (where I work) in Arlington, VA and back.
I will be occupied with comic book related events (Baltimore Comic Con, Small Press Expo) the first two weekends after Labor Day. Quantico Orienteering Club has events the next two weekends (Lake Needwood, Meadowood) that I'm planning to attend.
