The Walk

So I finally did it! It wasn't when I wanted to do it, or how I wanted to do it, but I did it nonetheless. It took 3 hours and 6 minutes, but I walked 10 miles for the National Autistic Society this morning and now my legs - especially my right hip - are in agony.

Because I couldn't do it on Sunday when I planned to do it, and because it was gonna be difficult planning it around everything else we've got going on, I managed to borrow a treadmill from a neighbour in my village and walked the full 10 miles (16.1km) in my own sitting room while watching Monday Night Raw from last night. The kids were at nursery and the wife was at work so it was the ideal time to do it in my own space and in my own time. So that's my charity commitment fulfilled, and I got caught up on all the weekend's wresting while I was at it - win, win!

I didn't raise absolutely loads on my Just Giving page, but I at least raised something which can only be better than nothing. It was £40 plus Gift Aid donations, and I've also got donations to come from a couple of family members when they get paid so I don't know the final total just yet.

Just a quick thank you now to all who donated and shared my Just Giving page, and I hope you all had a better World Autism Awareness Week than I did although it all worked out great in the end.
