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.
