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!

You could also specify which weekend and replace 'the' with 'this' or 'last'.
Maybe I could have found thmade time to write a journal, but I was either too tired to do so, or I didn't even get the ideaknow what to write about.
You could add 'didn't have a topic etc... to write about'. I believe time is sort of uncountable here (in the correction).

Struggle in present tense is fine as well. Although you may find some teachers picky about it (tense consistency)? I know where you're coming from though.

You could also say "I was quite busy over the weekend," but never "at the weekend."

I understand what you mean by the last bit ("more importantly..."), but the way I rewrote it sounds a lot clearer.

I suppose it's not that long for experienced hikers; however, notit's long for me, because hiking is something I don't do very occasionallyften.
The combination "very occasionally" is not one that I have seen before.

On top of that, I had a headache that lasted all night.

Very well-written, just a handful of small errors. I hope my comments were helpful! If you're having trouble thinking of topics to write about, I'd highly recommend this website:
http://iteslj.org/questions/
It has tons and tons of questions on pretty much every topic you can think of. You can even submit more questions if you want to add to their database.

“Get the idea” is a phrase used to reflect understanding. Ex. “Do you get the idea?” is an informal way of saying “Do you understand?”
