Ode to a Cliche



I walked my first 1 kilometer yesterday.  It was easier than I thought it would be, and I worked up a good sweat.  Today I am pleasantly sore in my legs and hamstrings.

Due to my agoraphobia, I calculated how many passes back and forth in my apartment building floor's hallway it would take to qualify 1 kilometer.  The answer?  46.  So I walked back and forth, back and forth, up and down the common area hall, trying to be quiet as possible, and at a reasonable pace.  I listened to music.  I wiped sweat from my forehead and off my neck.  I did it.

Tomorrow, I will time how long it takes for me to finish.

And the next day I will do it again.

It just takes that first step.
