They say it’s a good thing to give yourself fresh challenges as you get older. Personally, I thought getting through my 20s while staying marginally sane (and marginal is optimistic) was an accomplishment, but there will always be something new on the horizon to attempt.
Such as getting my walking route done in under 7 hours when it averages out to about 10.
The reason is simple: My family needs me. The kids need to be picked up and there isn’t a bus route from their schools to our home in the country. When we go down the list of who can handle that task, I’m the last one for obvious reasons. But I will never let it be said that I don’t put my family first before everything. If my wife and children need me, I’ll be there.
This’ll mean walking (not running, that’s a safety concern in the Post Office) an average of 15-18 minute miles. Possible? Yes. Most likely to make my legs cramp while I sleep tonight? Also yes.
There might not be any route pictures, for those of you who’ve liked my small moments of photography. But if I spot something worth noting, I’ll do my best.
