Nike has made walking a lot more interesting for those of us who don't actually go anywhere. Today I walked through Sidney Australia while listening to Sherlock Holmes discuss the case of the Gloria Scott-which happens to be a tale of a 'bark' bound for Australia filled with English prisoners. This to while away the miles-all three of them tonight-while keeping my mind elsewhere engaged.
The drawback of being so engrossed in story is that I don't earnestly pay attention to form and speed; that I do much better listening to the birds or a song on my little ipod. (Which I call a pea-pod, since it is so small-the better to lose itself according to my nephew.)
I have only 61 more Nike points to earn before I leave Australia and I will do that tomorrow so it will be off to another new country after that. I wonder where I should choose? Perhaps I will head to the city again and walk through Central Park and up the Statue of Liberty?
The other goal, aside from actually walking my way to a 10k, is to make it to the next level; which I will reach once having completed 150 total miles calculated on my Nike ipod. At this rate I will reach that in a couple of weeks. Then I will be green. According to Kermit, it isn't easy being green. I'll have to find out if that is true.
