I had done a couple "virtual runs" during the height of Covid where you still got a race medal and shirt for completing it, and recently looked into doing another. The company I used the first 2 times shut down, so I found a new one. I'm now virtually walking through Transylvania and it shows you street views along the way to show you where you are in relation to the place you chose. Pretty cool!
Progress! It's pulling from Google Fit on my phone to turn my steps into miles on the map. It also sends virtual postcards along the way. My first was for Sinaia castle.
Another day, another check of how far I've made it on my virtual walk of Transylvania.
I check my progress every morning after the app auto-posts my steps each night to see where my little marker shows up. Apparently right now I'm walking beside a charming little cemetery.
I've also decided to add a mile for every chapter I read, to make this journey go a little faster. Here's my current spot on my virtual journey through Transylvania.
I've hit a nothing but open land and sky section of Transylvania on my virtual journey and it's so beautiful.
I found some more horses! 60 miles completed.
Another fun little photo update from my virtual trek through Transylvania. Apparently some of their roads have these little drainage ditches.
@sarcasmsign ponys are always good 👍
Another stop along my virtual journey! I think I logged 5 miles yesterday, total.
