Right this moment my back hurts, my ankle hurts and so does my knee. The walk I did this morning was 12 klms and I felt my hamstring tighten up. I could feel a blister form on the soul of my foot and the shoes I was wearing started to irritate me.
All of this seems good reason to stop and find something else to do but I am reminded how much the physical pain is only temperary, it fades. What doesn't fade is the emotional pain, the mental pain. I can't stop going for my bucket list now because that pain will be far worse if I stop or give up my endevour to train for my big walk to Sydney. The pain of what I will feel like if I literary walk away from this aim for not only walking to Sydney but getting fit and losing weight while I strive for this bucket list I have set myself. I will also lose my own self-respect and I can tell you now, I will never be able to look at myself in the mirror again and I will never be able to show my daughters how important it is to keep going no matter how hard or how long it takes to fulfil what you set out to do...that I think is the worst pain.
