"Marlu" Walk a Success

The walk started at 10AM sharp (much later than expected) at Finch Ave. In spite of the rather heavy sidewalk traffic and extra pollution from many an automobile, I managed to complete the walk and win the bet. The bet, for anybody who doesn't know, was that I couldn't walk from Finch Avenue south on Yonge St to the Lake (Lakeshore Blvd.) in less than 3 hours. Biku thought I couldn't do it and the bet for $100 turned into a charity walk with other contributors.

The official distance was 15.3 km and was completed in 2 hours, 21 minutes and 30 seconds, which means I was walking at roughly 6.5 kilometers per hour. The monies will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund.

PS: my legs hurt

Hurrah for the Marlu walk! You did good. All endangered animals, cute as well as ugly, thank you.
