I almost didn’t go for my walk today. That inner voice was trying to talk. me out of it.
“You are tired.”
“Just walk a few rounds and go home.”
I had scored some points today when I had my green salad with tuna for lunch. There was no way I was going to allow that ‘inner voice’ to put me off walking. I changed into my comfy walking clothes and walked to the indoor track.
“I am going to walk just ten rounds today,” I whispered to myself.
As I plugged in my music, I entered another realm. I knew I could exceed the ten rounds. I kept walking and sometimes geared towards a faster pace, especially with the rhythmic music, I was now walking with a bit of a sway.
Before I knew it I was on my 12th round, I had three more to go and I was not even exhausted. My feet were burning a bit, but I chose to ignore it.
A student joined the walk, walking the opposite way. We would pass each other and share a closed-mouth smile. I left her doing her rounds but I was so proud of ‘me’ because I have achieved another week’s goal.
