Walked 45 minutes this morning
Given that Bus 80 rarely shows up on time and if ever... having waited on average 40 minutes for the morning bus that supposedly travels every 20 minutes - I opted to do something different today. I decided to walk the route - more or less. Half an hour into my walk I had stopped looking behind me for the elusive bus. I was on a roll. By the time I reached the busier streets, the bus did catch up with me - about 45 minutes after I had set out. I did opt to take the bus from this point as I was entering a more industrial area. The full walk would have taken me just over 1 hour.
Part of my rational for getting up and walking is also that trying on my pants from a year or two ago - I am reminded of the extra folds of skin that are a result of having my 15 month old. My previous job gave me cause to be active and to walk at least 40 minutes a day. In my current desk job - this has been reduced to about 20 minutes. So my goal/aim - to walk to work once a week. That being done, i will look at slowly increasing the number of times and see where it takes me!
