Oh…nervous time…only 7 days to go and the reality of walking is kicking in. We have been involved in quite a few photo shoots for various media, so keep a look out for that.
I have a little hiccup in my preparation for this event as I headed into hospital Wednesday last week for surgery on my larynx (voice box). I have nodules that must come out for future health reasons but also to be able to speak clearly. Gone is the husky voice I hope, but won’t know what I sound like for maybe a month!!! Peace in our house!
What this means though, in terms of the Walking Home Challenge, is that my food intake over the next few days will be sorely diminished and that’s not ideal leading into an endurance event. I will most likely have a stiff neck and jaw pain so walking in the lead up may not even happen – wait and see.
The great news is that my walk of 43kms Saturday before last was effortless. It was 28 degrees which is getting close to nearly warm in my language. I didn’t crave easy carbohydrates (junk food) so my body is metabolizing fat storage well now. AND – No stiffness later that night or the next day. It was like I’d been resting all weekend. Couldn’t have been happier.
So off to Warrnambool in 7 days it is…with little white board in hand to write instructions and requests to the team and maybe even use it for a quick tap on the rump to get them moving!
Thanks for being on this journey with me. Step by step.
Annie
