Shine Walk-a-thon

Update:

I’ve had a message today from my friend to say the packs arrived, with it comes a t-shirt and training plan.  We’re already planning what theme to go with, I suggested 80’s fitness (which may be an easy choice but it would be a lot of fun!)

Looking online the training plans appears quite daunting.  I’m starting it this week with 30-45 minutes walking.  Counting up what I do already this doesn’t seem too much more.  If I walk to the train station (30 minutes), hit the treadmill at lunch (20 minutes) and walk home (30 minutes) than I will have the 45 goal cleared.

On paper this looks easy – on paper I give it 100% commitment.  The problems come when there’s an excuse to not walk:  It’s raining in the morning and I would prefer to get the bus; there are meetings at work and I will push the gym time back an hour until it’s too late and it’s time to go home; I’m tired from the day, annoyed by the commute and would much prefer a quicker way home.

I will no doubt be battling with myself to get my lazy arse into gear, get the legs moving and get this training done.  It’s worth it when I remember what it is I’m doing it for.
