The One Hour Walk

Hosh... I have been doing this one hour morning walk nearly for the last 3 weeks. I started this as my new sports ever since Novotel's fitness membership fee has become too expensive. I had to find an alternative which is affordable. so here I am, back to my old sports, the morning walk. Back in the old days, the walk usually only half hour (because school hour starts very early). Now, its time for the next level, the walk will be conducted at least one hour.

Doing the walk is FUN. the fun raises when you listens favourite musics along the walk. I thought I was going to be bored with walking, especially for a long one hour. The strategy is to have several route alternatives. Don't worry when you misestimate a route (or probably get lost somewhere). You'll be challenged to survive, and when you done it, you really achieve the next level. Of course, just in case you ran out of energy, always gear up with a bottle of drink, some small amount of cash (don't need to bring fully-packed wallet with credit cards), and don't left your handphone at home :p

I really enjoy this morning walk, it really brings back the good old days (right Sam? hehe). I always sleep early (after maghrib) and woke up around 2 or -3 a.m. The walk starts after shubuh, around 4.30, and finishes at 5.30 (can be at 06.00 if you misestimate a route). The walk currently scheduled three times a week, with another special walk on Sunday morning. Yes, a walk to UGM from home, it took a perfect one hour walk. At first I was planning to walk to the office, but Bunda Lala did not agree since it would not be practical (bathing in the office, bring breakfast+lunch box, etc).

Looking forward to get started? I suggests doing a walk gradually, starting with half hour first. You will feel muscle pain around your waist and hip. This would conditions your mind and body, especially to reduce the sleepy feeling after walking. After two or three walk, you won't feel sleepy again, just make sure you get enough rest.

If i ever get bored, and switching to another sports, you'll be the first to know. You might also interested what Lala is doing in the morning :)
