Walkin' Pace
Humans are persistance predators. Also scavengers and a whole bunch of other stuff depending on circumstance. This means we have this weird ability to walk long past the point of other animals dropping dead from heart failure.
No i'm not kidding, we can do that. That's what Persistance Predator means.
This amazeballs skill atrophies if you plant your ass and move the least amount you can. That's life. And then one day you encounter a Walker and they mosey around not going anywhere very fast, and you race around and... at a certain point your knees and hips give out and they're still going - And they keep going on and on and suddenly you're empathising with some hoofy creature on the Serengeti who's having a really shit day due to these fucking walking apes.
Anyway, @what-even-is-thiss was talking about this and that's what set me off.
As someone who walks a mile to the store then a mile uphill with all my phat lewt, I can confirm it's a hell trek and then after a couple of weeks it's not so bad. uh a good backpack will help. As will good shoes.
Anyway the secret is pacing. Do not rush. Unless you're constantly being timed... take it slow, get a gait, roll your hips if you need to.
Look, pretend you have huge tits and no sports bra / Gigantic 'nads and your underwear offers no support.
OK now how fast do you want to move? Great, so just keep going until you get a nice easy rhythm. Think about being a superhero or a Wizard (unisex) or a dragon (also unisex, but you might have just become Furry) or write a Mary Sue about your favourite show.
But please resist the urge to kill and eat any animals you encounter along the way.
Also take breaks, hydrate, don't worry if you're sweaty. Nobody fucking cares, they're just going to assume you did some exercise. This is considered OK and Good so will not be commented on.
And don't over-tighten your shoes. if you feel like your toes are all broken, your shoes are too tight and even loosening the laces may not help. Time to get softer shoes with impact absorbing heels.
And now you have the cool ability to say shit like 'It's only a few miles, I'll walk it'.
Ya know I honestly don't think it'd be down here.
boy. load state
i’m not back at work yet but i’m already tired
Day 471
ML flew in a day early to hang out with us. We ubered over to Din Tai Fung for dumplings and ate to our hearts content. Took a small stroll and stopped by Chang Kai Shek memorial and then made it to Taipei main station and saw SY. I haven’t seen this girl in eternity and it was so nice to see her. She knew dad before she knew me and called my dad sogo Lao ban. It made me miss dad more but also touched my heart that she cared. ML and Bee passed out in the afternoon from so much walking and jet lag. I took an hour for myself to wander and explore zhong Xiao dunhua. It was almost like nothing had changed. Ended the night in Shilin and still walked our feet off. Then finally we went to get our massage. Packed a bit and knocked the heck out.
