Not too long ago I got to do something I have not done since I was 13 years old and that was to walk home down an old country road . When I was younger I lived in Rual country and my friend at the time lived 2 Km from home . I recall it like yesturday we be walking or riding our bicycles to he's home or mine . In winter we would cheat by walking on the lake ice because it was shorter and it saved time . A few day s ago I got to sort of relive one of my old childhood memories only the distance was much farther 8 Km . In my day we wouild stop at this house where this very friendly man lived and he would offer us cookies and water from his outside well with the old hand pump. on this day I had no water or cookies to help me on my long journey home on foot . the only things I had with me was my cell phone and sun glasses and I was only dressed in black silk shorts , white Tee and water shoes . that long walk was not easy for someone like me because of my health problems Diebeties and heart condition . I know what some of you must be thinking why not get a ride from someone ? call it what ever you want pride, stubborness ,stupidty I choes to walk because I know I can do this. this was not a planned walk in fact it was done because I had been to my friends house by means of a "Personal Watercraft" "PWC" and I had some mechanical isues that had I tried to return home with it would have been "life threatning ". So I opted to walk home for the good of my health and if I could not do it I could all ways place a call for a ride . My first few Km's was easy because of the pine trees that partly shaded the road but I was not long after that I incounered my biggest test of self indurance.there was a good streach of open road with farming fields on each side and as you walked there was abit of a grade to the road as you went on .As crazy as It sounds this was a very Hot sunny day as the temp was over 34 C with very to no wind at times . As I walked along at a good pace many things when thru my mind mostly of movies . I had stopped 4 times to rest and sit for 10 mins befor moving on down the road but I made it home !! Would I do it again ?....Hell Yeah !! .....lol
