Day 5 of my 252km Walk

Day 5

It’s day 5 - Khuritshe back to Bodungwane to Artesia

I am feeling stiff and sore everywhere but hey we must get to the finish point.
Yesterday I walked,but I was short 14 Km. It was a long 28 km. I was supposed to walk 42 km but I only managed to walk a little more than half of the distance and I tried to push myself but my body would not take it. With each day becoming heavy and difficult for my body I am playing catch up with covering the distance. Each time I do less than expected then it’s more work for the next day 😢😢😭😭

The exciting part is I met two nice people along the road one is a friend from gabs (William Lee) who drove all the way out to drop off some water and food and the second person was One of the farmers in the area I was walking across (Mr Malatsi ).
Each time I saw people I became motivated to walk and get to my goal for that day. But yesterday The heat was extremely exhausting and the gravel road continued to be unkind.

Dear lord I am going to die 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I am trying to walk with a good pace but nothing comes out of it.
I need a walking partner maybe I might walk a little longer if I had someone to walk with .
