Hitting my wall

Today's lyric:

"But I would walk five hundred miles
and I would walk five hundred more
just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
to fall down at your door".

The Proclaimers: "Five Hundred Miles"

For me, 1000 paces on my (freely-obtained) pedometer equates to half of one mile.

So this



means that I've cracked the recommended distance to cover in preparation for a half-marathon. So now I know the route (and therefore the distance) to step up the pace.

But just for now, feet up and r e l a x x x x x x
