That is the question that has been running through my head on repeat continuously for a while now. I CANNOT believe what i have signed up to do. I did a 25km practice walk on saturday and i am still feeling it. I spent saturday walking with a limp and decided i had to walk on sunday if only to stretch my muscles. i may not have achieved what i set out to do i am still hobbling about but hey i can walk right? i plan to do another walk on sunday in the hopes that it will give my body a chance to get used to it. The 25k was hectic i keep thinkin to myself, '500ks pray tell how am i going to do that?' I am going to be a decimated at the end of it, it probably won't be as bad as i think but my mind is already messing with me. i keep seeing images of myself bedridden which after the 25ks is a very distinct possibility. i am now officially freaking out or maybe i've reached full blown hysteria coz freaking out was a while back.
In spite of my hystrerical imaginings i am very excited by the whole walk, i imagine it will be like 'A tale of two cities' owned by different cultures so different yet the same. I'm am not a frequent visitor to francistown and can count all the times i've been there on two fingers and have one left over...(yeah yeah i've been there only once) but it will be nice to get a glimpse into how they live and maybe show them that 'banyana ba gaborone' aren't really all that bad, that we do have manners and are classy individuals. But my mission isn't really about changing mindesets and making myself look better but to get people thinkin and talkin about cancer. so maybe i'm not the best advocate and maybe not the best choice since i hvnt gone through it but my not so little bit makes a difference. If i can do it so can anyone who puts their mind to it. Trust me this walk is a big thing for me, the person who hates walking especially if its up a hill not to mention that 2 weeks straight of walking my body will be a wreck but hey i'm gonna do it...it may be the first and last time but it shall happen.
in other news i just found out it might be a wise idea to gain some weight before the walk coz i will lose weight on this walk. for someone who spent atleast 12 years of my life in school it did not occur to me... eish now i dnt know how much to gain so i don't come back bony. any suggestions? i'm 1.76 and weigh about....eish i don't know if i wanna disclose that...how about a different question how much do you thing i will lose in 2weeks of walkin?
