of the Long Run Archives joined by friends, colleagues, Jeff Colt and Brett Hornick. All right, this is episode 30-something of the long run archives joined by friends,

colleagues, Jeff Colt and Brett Hornig. I got to lead us into this with one of my mystery

topics, which is just going to be this ode or nod to pedestrianism. I've been recovering

from a little jaunt in a hundred mile wilderness the past

six days. And I have enjoyed making Strava maps for these pedestrianism journeys where

like I leave my house and I go on a five to six mile walk and I make a stop at the local coffee shop.

I stop at the bookstore. I try to go on some streets that I've never

touched before so that heat map gets expanded out. And like today, before this episode, two hours,

six miles, talked with our local postal carrier dude, talked with the person at the counter at

the bookstore. And I feel like it's back into the 90s again, like pre-technology and stuff. And so for anyone out there that's recovering or just into it, I'm having so much fun walking right now. And I just wanted to lead the episode with that. Like, I'm feeling really good coming in this one because I went on a long walk and I raw-dogged it. There was no technology or anything. Finn is just a character in a

Richard scary book. He's meeting the sailors and he's meeting the postman and the librarian

and the baker. Finn explores busy town. Yeah. What shoes did you wear, Finn? What shoes did you

wear, Finn? Two hours. That's a long walk. Dude, I wore, and I don't know if I should count it, but I wore the, I guess for conversational pace, I wore the, the Mount to Coast H-1s. Hey, that's an appropriate shoe for, for a busy town walk. Yeah, it was just, I had a fantastic two hours out there. It's a nice, crisp, fall, sunny day here in Salt Lake City. And I think I'm going to keep doing this. I'm going to just build out the heat map here. I went down three or four. I've lived here for 10 years, and I went down three or four roads that I had never touched before in Salt Lake. So also, like, when I go running, I find that I just get into these ruts. And the heat map is, it's just rutted out. And I broke it.

Like you can, you can break patterns on walks, I find, because I don't care as much.
