#10 - Walk to the city and back 8 times in one month
Elizabeth February 15th, 2008
Part of my 101 Things in 1001 Days challenge.
It feels soooooo good to cross this one off my list!
I unintentionally completed this task in a fortnight, rather than a month. I’ve been trying to exercise at least every second day, and walking anywhere other than the city felt like a waste! I’m now looking forward to heading in a different direction and finding some new stuff next time I walk.
Some of the positives to come out of this task:
- In two weeks, I have walked 100km (or 62 miles). That’s further than Brisbane to Surfers Paradise (80km) or Melbourne to Geelong (73km).
- Between the exercise and a change in my eating habits, I have lost 5kg
- I discovered that I can jog without completely sacrificing my capacity to breathe
- I have discovered a stack of awesome shops and landmarks that I otherwise would not have come across or noticed
- I’m learning heaps about my local area by navigating on the fly
- I have been able to spend heaps of quality time with my good friends Ben and Regina
Very happy that this one is out of the way! I know that this is one thing I couldn’t have achieved without my trusty list, so I’m extra proud of myself for working my way through the tasks.
10 down, 91 to go!

you lost 5kg! that’s very good! i exercise once or twice a week (mostly just walking) and so far, the best i can achieve is to maintain my current weight.
Yay for crossing things off the list, cool photo too!
That list sounds intriguing.
*scratches head*
Maybe, just maybe I should take you as a good example and inspiration to do some on my list
Cool shot and yes, I have ipod envy
Nicole: It was a Christmas present from Tim.
I think I’ll keep him a while longer
Yepp, sounds like a good idea
Would love to have one too, but they are ridiculously expensive over here
So I got me and hubby a simple 1GB Nano, sigh
