This morning Trent left for his 10 day motorbike ride, so I got him drop me at the kids school when he took them and i started to walk home. This way I knew I would get at least one walk in.
As Trent was meeting at his mate Ben's house I decided to see him off on his ride from there. They wanted to leave at 9:30am so I knew what time I had to be there by. I realised on the way to school that I had left my Ipod at home (not happy) so wasn't too sure how i would keep my pace as without the music it is easy to walk slowly.
I left the school and started walking. When i got to the first side street i had to cross I made the decision to jog to the next side street. From that side street I walked and continued to alternate like that all the way to Ben's house. I made it there in 35mins (it was 4.2km). I actually beat Trent there and Ben wasn't even home!
When they eventually left it was 10am and I no longer had as much motivation to walk. Trent even bought me my Ipod and that wasn't even motivating me. I think if I had money in my pocket I would have caught the bus home but as I didn't I had no choice but to walk home, which was 4.4km. I didn't think I would walk it overly fast but got home in 40mins, despite being rained on.
In total I walked 8.6km in 1hr 15mins (which is 5mins faster than my 8.4km walk). My legs are dead but I am glad that I went and did my walk.
Distance travelled today: 8.6km
Distance travelled so far: 118.6km
Distance left to travel: 25,635.4km
