My first (mistake) workout

So I have been putting off my walking so far due to the uber high temperatures we're having here in Adelaide. I find no point in getting a gym membership as I'm probably only going to be in this state for another 2 months, when we relocate to Perth I think that's one of the first things I'm going to organise.

So this morning I had a minor (I swear it was minor) mishap in the laundry where my gorgeous red dress decided to bleed all over the other clothes. Including my fiances brand new white and red Ralph Lauren polo. EEEEEEEP!!!!
I actually half ran-half power walked to the nearest Woolworths, which is only 1.5kms away through the backstreets. I have to say though, there and back, I worked up quite a sweat, and it's only 25 degrees today so it's not like the sun was beating down that hard.
So there was my first accidental workout for the year, half running/half power walking 3kms!

Give me an hour and I could probably do it again, which is a good sign as I've made plans (once the weather has stopped being insane and above 40 degrees) to walk twice a day. I will get up at 5am to walk if it's going to be above 40 because then I'll walk just before sunrise, to avoid the heat and sunburn.

So as I sit here waiting for the miracle cure to fix the clothes, I smile and look forward to continuing my challenge :)
