⚜Preface

I decided to start this weekend morning with a long, peaceful walk.

🕗 Time: 8:52 AM

🛣️ Route: City Park Loop

🏃‍♂️ Distance: 9.33 km

⏱️ Duration: 1h 28min

❤️ Average Heart Rate: 127 bpm

💪 Training Load: 36.1 (Moderate)

To be honest, I had planned to run 9.33 kilometers from the start.

But in the first 2 kilometers, I just walked, taking my time to look around and enjoy the landscape. The morning air was calm, and everything felt so peaceful that I didn’t want to rush.

However, I knew I had a lot to do later in the day, so for the remaining 7 kilometers, I decided to pick up the pace and run instead of walk.

In the end, I was drenched in sweat, but my mind felt incredibly clear.

🍃 Scenery Along the Way

🌸 A Pink Flower in the Grass

A delicate pink flower quietly blooming in the grass, still holding onto sparkling raindrops—like it had just woken from a dream.

🌿Serenity at the Lotus Pond

Lotus leaves swayed gently in the breeze, with a few pink blossoms blooming quietly. Reflections of distant buildings and cranes danced on the water’s surface—a silent conversation between nature and the city.

🌺 Red Blossoms Beneath the Lamp

Raindrops still clung to the leaves as morning light filtered through the garden. The bush was full of life—lush green foliage and clusters of fiery red blossoms glowing gently in the soft air, as if the rain had awakened every color.**

🔥 A Burst of Fiery Orange

Amidst the green foliage, this cluster of bright orange-red flowers stood out like a flame—vivid, warm, and full of energy.

📷 Post-Walk Selfie

After the walk, I took a quick selfie—sweaty, a little tired, but deeply satisfied.

📊 Quick Summary

Average Pace: 9'29" per km

Max Heart Rate: 179 bpm

Steps: 13,585

Calories Burned: Not recorded

From the pace and heart rate data, I could see my body really kicked into gear in the second half. Overall, the session felt balanced and energizing.

🧘 Final Thoughts

Every workout is a conversation—with nature, and with myself.

The flowers, the breeze, the reflections—they all reminded me:Life doesn’t have to move fast. Sometimes, just walking is enough.

The sweat on my skin felt like it was washing away the week’s stress.

Next time, I want to head out even earlier—maybe catch the lotus pond at sunrise. I wonder what it looks like when the blossoms are still asleep, and the world is just beginning to wake.
