4 weeks and 2 days. That's IT until we start walking! Excitement and a little bit of panic is setting in. We are well on our way to getting everything together for the walk (and remember, you have 2 non-campers in the house!). We both are breaking in our 2nd pair of shoes. And who knew things like socks were so important?! Actually we did, since we've done this before but seriously, those $12 socks really are worth it.
Next week will be filled with lots of walks! The plan is to get a long walk or two in, hopefully, as well. Last Sunday we set out on a 12 mile training walk. Annnnd, now cue in the rain. It started out a great walk, cloudy but cool and overcast. A few miles in, the drizzle started. Not so bad! We kept walking and kept our 20 min/mile average pace. It really wasn't awful until we started getting sprayed with water from cars going 50mph. Yikes. So we headed back and got in 6 miles. Not a bad day but not a 'long' walk either.
Walking we will go!
