The 10km walk - WE DID IT!



I woke up this morning at around 5:30am and quickly got ready for the walkathon. The fresh fruit juice made of lemon grass, lemons was now deliciously semi frozen and made steps to quickly get myself to the Bowling Club. I was accompanied by my cousin, Lujee who was off duty as it was her day off from the hospital. After picking up Mele, we sped through to the Bowling Club to meet Julz who was there with Liam. A good number of people from the community was there for the walkathon.

The air was fresh and cool and the temperature was perfect. For some weird reason, I had high energy and was energetic during the walk contrary to what I was dreading. I did discover that it actually helps to psyche yourself up mentally for something.

It was really great to see people fishing out in the sea. The smell of the ocean lapping against the sea wall and seeing the local community walking was also great.WE DID IT! I am so glad that the walkathon is finally over! Yes, we actually walked 10 km and it was #superawesome

Special thanks to three of my sponsors who joined me on the walk - Jiuria (Julz) and Liam, Mele (Loiloi) and Lusia (Lujee)!!! Thank you for the warm support and felt your contribution each step of the way.

I must say that it was only till we had completed the walk that I felt the exhaustion and it was straight to breakfast then home for me! What a day! Today's win was conquering the fear of "exercise". This is deeply ironic coming from a former sports-a-holic! Baby steps for now.
