Back in April, Garmin's Connect app re-introduced "expeditions" for their fitness trackers. These are non-competitive self challenges that earn a badge on completion, regardless of how long it takes
. Since April 19th I've completed 10 "hikes" of varying lengths, roughly 500 km total.
Each expedition represents a popular hiking trail (or section of) in different parts of the world .. from China's Great Wall to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The app offers a paragraph or two describing the general terrain, but I decided to learn a bit more about each region on my virtual hikes .. especially the local cuisine. So, I've been challenging myself to try at least one new recipe from that part of the world to go along with counting steps
. Currently I'm stepping my way along the Patagonian Circuit, covering 120 km of mountains and ocean between Argentina and Chile. This week, grilled lamb with Chimichurri is on the menu, might even try making lowcarb Empanadas
. During the oceanic part of the trek, perhaps a Chilean seafood stew Cazuela de Mariscos
It's been a lot of fun! and adds an extra element of interest - and a little incentive - beyond counting steps
