思い立って、早朝からプチ山登り行ってきた。
ネットで手ごろなコースを検索したら、４番目に自宅からほど近い展望台が紹介されていた。
歴史的な由来がある場所だけれど、観光地として栄えてるわけじゃなくて、地元の教育委員会かなんかが整備してくれてるハイキングコースという感じのところ。
スマホが案内してくれたのがどうやら車用ナビだったことに途中から気が付いたが、道を覚えておくのもいいだろうとそのまま進んだ。
が、しんどい。
平地で通勤途中らしき車を交わすくらいは”へでもねーよ”だが、急な上り坂に入ったとたんに足が石になったんじゃないかと思うほど、しんどい。
恐るべし、重力。
おかげで、坂の向こうに日が差して視界が開けた時の達成感は格別だった。
何事も経験。
I decided to go hiking early in the morning.
I searched online for suitable trails, and the fourth one I found was an observation deck close to my house.
It's a place with historical origins, but it's not a popular tourist spot. It's more like a hiking trail maintained by the local board of education or something.
I realized partway through that the directions my smartphone was giving me were a car navigation system, but I thought it would be a good idea to remember the route, so I continued on.
But it was hard.
On flat ground, some cars that looked like they were on their way to work, passing through my side was "I don't give a fart," but as soon as I started to climb a steep hill, it was so hard I thought my feet would turn to stone.
Gravity is a scary thing.
Thanks to that, I felt a special sense of accomplishment when the sun shone on the other side of the hill and the view opened up.
Everything is an experience.
