I did it! Yes yesterday at 5.30 am, I set out to walk to Sydney. Since I had put it out there I felt I had to fulfil what I set out to do. Now there was only so much I could do. My body and it's weight, the weather and just the general distance (37klm) were all factors I could have used to deter me from the walk. How ever I felt a responsiblity to see this one through. I wasn't even sure what to expect even though I have driven this road many times. And I will say Parramatta Road is so very long. Just when you think it's almost over and you've come to the end, more road pop up and the end seems so far away.
Well I got to walk 30klms, which is a fair way. I am proud of myself because I went as far as my body would take me, until I had nothing left. Plus I did what I said I would do.
Even people I know who are fit and could walk my distance in good time have said that they wouldn't do it because of the distance. What the walk has done for me has shown me I can do what I set out to do.
One of my friends SMS'd me this morning to say she would do it with me next time. Since yesterday, I may have to re access this walk altogether but I will give it a go for the next time. I will be fitter and lighter and more prepared. This walk has shown me, I can push through and do the stuff I so hesitantly avoid. It has also shown me I am unstopable when I put my mind to it!!! Now nothing will stop me...only me...and I think I might push 'me' out the way because I've got things I need to do.
