To walk the circumference of earth
When I started this journey on 25 September 2006 my aim was to walk 5kms daily. Six months later I changed the goal to walk "at least 5kms daily. I have religiously recorded the daily distance walked on a spreadsheet.
Earlier this year when walking with friend Danny, we discussed that I should consider aiming to walk the circumference of planet earth which is 40075kms. As of today I have walked 18448 kms leaving 21627kms to walk. At my current pace this should take 9 years which puts me at age 70.

Cross Country
14 June 2014
The club's annual cross country was held at Island park, in Waldronville where Beachlands Speedway hold events. This is the second time the club held the event at this location. I did not take part last year as I was supervising an exam at the University.
Conditions were perfect for the cross country race. Walkers had to do two laps of the 2km course. The children had their event first. The runners and walkers started at the same time with competitirs doing two, three or four laps.
For the walking event we all started at the same time. The first part was over a gravel road, then over sand dunes, across pellets through a bog, back on a gravel track onto a muddy path and finally over grass to the start. I felt good and was pleased with my pace finishing third in a time of 26:51mins.
