walk the line

I don't like to walk. I sytematically try and overcome it but sometimes, I don't know why, I just dread it. When I take the bus home from work, as my neck of the woods nears, I contemplate getting off the bus early to walk around the lovely lake near my home. Sometimes I can. Otherdays I don't and I cringe at the thought of the 3 block walk from the other bus stop to my apt. I wish I could enjoy it but its nearly produces an attack of ARE WE THERE YET voices. I count my steps, try shortcuts, dodge down alleys and attempt to notice the 'little things'.

Sometimes with luck. Like the day I wandered off my usual trek to the morning bus and found the teapot tree. That was the day I was in a rare walking mood and was subsequently late for work.

Today I may have found temporary relief. A site (Mom: I know yer going to lurve this!!) that calculates your distance in miles and km. The example is even in my hometown! For the moment, this will keep me amused in knowing how long my anguish will last for.

Now, could someone compute that into minutes, please.
