About this time last year I was preparing for my first 5K. Using RunKeeper.com I plotted routes, checked my pedometer to the calculated mileage on RunKeeper, and got accustom to walking more than three miles. There was often a point in my walk I called the hitchhike point. Its that point where I was plum tuckered out and really wanted to stick my thumb out for a ride home.
Today, for the first time this season, I walked that same route from last year and to my surprise, the hitchhike point never came. I was tired, sure, and hot, especially on an 83 degree sunny day, but I never wanted to hitch a ride.
This is day 20 out of the last 21 Ive walked. My goal for the month of March was to walk every day at least a mile, preferably outside. Last years goal was 40 miles per month and I think I made that goal only once. Im on track to hit 40 this month with just under 33 with todays outing.
Way to go!
