And stepping up to the plate.....

Yes it's that time again to step up.  It has been over a month since I have blogged.  And confession time, well over a month since I've done any walking.  It took nearly a week before I could move freely about.  My body was absolutely broken from my 30 k walk.  It was amazing I even got off the bus.  Which is funny in itself.  The bus driver the next day had to wait well over 2 minutes for me to even get to the front of the bus and then an extra 1 for me to step onto the path.  He was very patient I will say.
The night of my rest in the city, I could hardly get of the bed and my sleep was a marithon in itself.  I laugh though because once my body shut down, it took a while to do the simplist of things.  I  heard myself used the phrase, 'you know your getting old when....'
This all being said, I would do it again and I feel I need to.  I put down I was going to walk to Sydney and I am.  The walk showed me, when I put my mind to I can achieve great things.  Now in the eyes of some walking to Sydney might not be the most inspirational or noble things a person can do but to me it is about doing what I said I would do. 
Lets face it, if one brags about doing stuff, then one better stand up to the plate.  It also broke a pattern for me.  Walking to Sydney was more about the fulfilment of the task ahead and seeing it through.  I just had to see it through.  I just had to break a way of thinking I have gotten so used to for so long and I am proud of myself for doing it.  In fact I have to pinch myself to even believe it sometimes.
Now it is time to get back to it.  Today I went back to it.  I said I wanted to do it for my birthday.  It is only 8 - 10 weeks  till I am 44 and I have to get back to my training.  I will see it through.  I didn't get to Sydney the last time.  I fell short 5-8 klms, so I have to finish the job.  Just watch me.  There are too many things on my bucket list and I have too many eyes upon me to give up now.  So my birthday is on a Friday and I want to celebrate my birthday and my achievement for finishing the task.  Again I invite you on my journey.  For all the people who read this blog (all 5 of you hehehehe) please come with me again.  It was a real buzz having you encourage me by you reading what I have written and I feel I had the world with me.
love you all
