It is spring. Did you notice? Oh Yes, you did.

Season of hiking is starting, finally! But to be honest, my condition from last summer is gone, it is totally killed. I was lazy, lazy, lazy. Two weeks ago we went biking and made like 20km. Shame on me, it is nothing, no big distance and I was so tired though!!! It is true we found or first cache this season during the trip, but this does not excuse me at all.

And so I made the decision, whole group of my friends did it as well. This year is going to be the year we will hike to Kriváň (2494 m). You may have noticed it is on my Bucket list as well.  And since we were talking about this a lot, a lot, a lot, about two years to be honest, it was just the right time to stop and act. The cottage in Liptovsky Jan is reserved on last August weekend, and there will be 13 pioneers fighting the rocks and their own power.

However, I am afraid I get to the physical and psychical crisis during this hike, because 4 years ago when I was fighting similar hill – Chopok  – 2024 m, sounds to me like ages. It is true  I was in much better condition, but the thing  in my head is – RESPECT. Respect to the hill, respect to my body because I want to enjoy this climb instead of torturing it and prevent giving up before I reach the top.

And that is why I have brand new pedometer!!! What do I want to do with it?  Training. I will count all the steps I make during workout, and of course I will record my climb to Kriváň as well.

873 steps is just the beginning. It took me 30 minutes of walking inside the house during fast evening cleaning. Not bad.

I am happy about the decision, afraid about my will, excited to see the view.

Fell fresh with me
