I am tired of seeing the same route every time I go for a walk. I am tired of the extra pounds I have put on since being married. I am tired of not having any goals that I get me excited. I am tired of not feeling proud of myself… and in fact, feeling kind of like a loser. So I am working to change that. Let’s go 2018.
Goal #1: Walk all the streets in Blacksburg.
(Yes.. I recognize that I am going to have to put some constraints and limits on this but I haven’t yet figured out what those are. One I do know, however, is I will not be walking the highway (460 for you locals). Two: I will not be trespassing on any private property or restricted areas. Edge boundaries are TBD.)
Three days so far to test this idea. It’s actually been a blast, getting to walk streets full of old memories, but also explore new little nooks and crannies of the town I have lived in for now… what would it be… 6.5 years.
I think there will be more maps to come… This project has gotten me thinking about all the knowledge of this place I have accumulated over my time in Blacksburg and how desperate I was for information when I first came here as a freshmen at Virginia Tech. Stay tuned for more in the future!
