Busy Weekend

I wanted to write something sooner, but I was quite busy at the weekend. Maybe I could have found the time to write a journal, but I was either too tired to do so, or I didn't even get the idea.
I wanted to keep my streak and reach as highest number as possible, but I struggle to find the time every day and, more importantly, topics to write journals about.

On Friday, we went on a hike that was about 12 km long in the mountains. I suppose it's not that long for experienced hikers; however, not for me because hiking is something I do very occasionally. When we got home, I immediately went to bed and slept for many hours. On top of that I had a headache that lasted all night. That was probably the ultimate reason for writing no journal at all that day.

On Saturday and Sunday, I participated competitions in fire sport. You might not know this sport, as it is specific to the Czech and Slovak Republic. You'll surprise me if you do!
