All I did yesterday was half an hour of rowing but today morning I set off to try the new route to Wielkopolski National Park. I have checked it yesterday on Google Earth and it looked quite nice. I have to run a few kilometres on the asphalt but at least I don't need to drive and burning petrol in order to breathe fresh air.
It turned out that I have some 5 kilometres to the border of the National Park and 10 to Jaroslawieckie Lake. I decided that I will check how far I can go It was very could and I decided that I want to check how far I can run and still be able to get back home.
After some 3 km I leave the beaten track, and after another cross the railway line which constitutes the border of the National Park. I'm surprised by how well . At first I run along a nice alley between fields, when after a while I see the edge of a forest I smile so broadly that my frozen face hurts.
I am not sure how far can I go and still be able to go back. At first I want to return after 6 km, than after 7, 7.5... Finally I return after 8 km on a large crossing. For a moment I am sorry that I did not try to get to the lake, but soon I am really happy that I returned when I did. The way back was much more difficult. I realize that in light clothes and wet with sweat I cannot stop, not when it's -14.
But returning along the same way has some advantages, half of the way is already passed and there are many known marks along the way.
And now I can gloat that I run over 16 km and burned almost 2000 calories :)
