Stages of VPN connection failure to work:

1. My network must be down - nope still streaming music;
2. I just have to re-enter my password (that happens) - nope - problem connecting;
3. Okay this isn't funny - is this a new passive-aggressive way of terminating an employee?
4. Oh!  There's a DM notice of the service out - whew I could have the morning off to do a bit of cleanup;
5. D'oh!  The IT team is awesome and before I could finish boiling water for a cup of tea, there's a DM from 3 different people asking me questions. 
   

Okay - Friday

Friday has been okay - limited contact from people at work which has proven to be a good thing to help me focus.  I will be working on the weekend and that's my choice and a good one!

I am going for a walk with my bubble buddy after dinner tonight - not sure where I'm going to go to top Saturday's walk but  it should be good.  I really just need 1.8km to walk and close off 10km for today!  If I walk more, that's better.

I am currently closing in on 1000km!

This year's approach is simple: slow and steady wins the race.  Keep a consistent walking behaviour of 10km per day with extras to bring that curve up.  Last year was a minor blip at July 1st where I seemingly slowed followed by the end of August when I really slacked off.

Will I hit 2500km this year?  

We shall see. 

There are 33 remaining weeks this year and I'm walking 80+km per week.

*removes shoes and socks...

That's around 2640km plus my near 1000 means that I should hit 3600ish by the end of the year.

Factors that could change this possibility:

• I stop giving a toss;
• I get hit by another car;
• I get injured in some other fashion (please say it's for jumping to chapter 34 of the edited Kama Sutra where you have to involve circus personnel and swings!)  And yes, I know that there's more the Kama Sutra than just sex manual or sex positions but a guide to the art of living well, love, etc;
  
• Adverse weather in November/December - that can slow me a tad down.
• Murder hornets;
