Sticking to it
Today was the 8th day of this commitment to walk 1000 km within the Spring and Fall equinox. The first few days were exciting and I managed to get in 7km a day. Cool: I'm on my way, or so I thought. Then by day 6 complications set in. A family member was due to arrive home from an extended time away but flights got missed, more cash was needed, much time on phones and little time for sleep made for a decision to not walk one day. Once I missed one day it felt easy to miss the second day, and I really didn't feel like walking, but I did. I managed 5 km. Today was another 5 km. So far I have had 5 days of 7 km and 2 days of 5 km....a total of 45 km in 8 days. When I look at it that way I feel better and I know I'll stick to this....The weather is starting to turn warmer, 5 degrees celsius, and I saw some robins on my walk this week: a sure sign of spring. Back at it tomorrow. Living la vida fearless, Jan
