Toddler and I went for a nice walk on Randbøl Hede* and decided to test a new route where we enter the heath from a forest road.

It was absolutely beautiful: loads of orchids and insects (both pretty and stabby). And we learned that we won't do it again as long as toddler requires a stroller because: BLOODY HELL is it hard to push a stroller through a kilometer of swampy uneven land with 50cm tall vegetation.

I never enjoyed driving, so I stopped, given that in my dotage the only place I go is medical appointments. So the younger of my sisters dropped me off at my pulmonologist, who usually runs slow. She expected it would take at least an hour, so she went off to do my and our father's grocery shopping.

Miraculously, I was finished at the doctor's within twenty minutes. My sister mentioned that she usually didn't get phone reception in that supermarket, and indeed she didn't. So I decided to #walk to my other sister's as a change of pace.

I walk at least an hour every day on my treadmill, usually 60–70 minutes at 1.2–1.5 miles per hour. Google maps says it was just under 1.5 miles to the older of my sister's place. So I chatted with Sis One for a bit until Sis Two showed up. And today the front of my calves ache in ways that #walking on the #treadmill never make them.
