No more excuses

Well, the plan for today was to start back with the C25K program. I was planning to start with W3D1 as I think I would be reasonably comfortable with the run section. When I stopped last year, I had got to W4D1.
But...it has been pouring non-stop since last night and is still raining. We have had 132mm so far (Very unusual to get that amount at once in Narrabri, NSW) and our farm road is flooded in 2 sections and mud and puddles the rest of the way. I was concerned about wrecking my runners and also about slipping in the mud, like I did once last year. But by late this afternoon, I was getting edgy because it wouldn't stop raining and I wanted to get outside.
At 5pm, I put on a raincoat and my crocs and just went for a walk instead. Even though I got dripping wet and had to wade through knee deep muddy water - it was glorious!! The bee eaters were flying around in the rain and Jack (Our dog) chased a few wet kangaroos.
So I ended up walking 5 km in 1hour, 2 minutes. This takes me within 10.3km of Sawn Rocks which is my next checkpoint on my Virtual Walk/Run of Australia.
I am still trying to figure out how to link my virtual google map to this blog. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pleased that I got out for the walk today, because at the beginning of the year, I decided that all those excuses I usually have ready and waiting would just not work for me this time! So just getting out has been a great step in the right direction (Lol, pun intended...once I realised).
Reading Pat Farmer's book, Pole to Pole Run, last year was an eye opener. Being "too tired" at the end of a day at work just seemed hypocritical after reading about what he went through. I was blown away by all of his experiences and the fact that every day, he just got up and did it all over again! He is an amazing man.
