Finished reading “The Walking Man” by Jiro Taniguchi (歩くひと by 谷口 ジロー). This manga is mostly vignettes of a man walking in a small city, maybe eight to ten pages each, often with a final page as he gets home. It’s very peaceful, essentially no story, just a mellow vibe as he encounters interesting people or things and returns to his life.
I have now read two apparently-unrelated articles in two days mentioning or featuring the Land’s End–to–John o’ Groats trail, which I had never heard of before.
Walked to Bothell this morning: three hours, nine miles, almost 18k steps. (Of course, it was raining the whole way.)
Walked up to get the brake-challenged car from the shop: about 13k steps, 7½ miles, 2¼ hours.
Played hooky this afternoon and walked from Northgate to Greenwood and then home: about 19k steps, 9½ miles, 3½ hours.
