So, I'm going to walk to Disney, from Ireland! Well, ok not actually walk, there's a rather large pond called the Atlantic in the way. But I need something to help get my lazy backside off the couch and onto the road so I don't look like a beached whale at Blizzard Beach in December/January next.
I suspect my issue is the same as most people in the mid-late 40's (and probably many others also). Too much food, too little movement and the age old excuse, too little time. So the other day I spotted someone's trip report about 'Walk-ing back to to Disney'. Turns out it was family called the Walk's and their trip report. I hope they don't mind that I took inspiration from their title.
So, back to the task in hand. As I cannot actually walk to Disney, I wondered could I walk the distance. Turns out no, well at least not in the time frame that I have. According to Google maps it's 6565km from my door to the door of the Boardwalk Inn as the crow flies (it's actually 6565.65, spooky). So in 117 days I'd have to walk 56km a day on average. Bit far, and a bit time consuming. Undaunted I came up with the idea of doing it based on time. So an average of 56 minutes a day it is. So to try and motivate myself I'm going to record my progress as I go along.
Anyone care to join me? Get your name in lights on the top post, destination, progress to date, time(distance) left? Come on, off the couch and on the road!
