T and I did our first double digits. I was very very sore when I finished and then TH wanted to go shopping. It took 212 minutes so our pace dropped to 3 miles an hour. We walked from our house to lake Merced then went twice around. I have decided that we are going twice around the lake three times this week and maybe do a twelve mile walk somewhere else. The training schedule shows that it should have been a sixteen mile walk yesterday, but 10.5 is all we could manage. Next week the training schedule says it is a 12 mile walk then an 18 mile, I can tell you right now as I sit here writing this there isn't going to be any 18 miler..
How am I going to get a 20 mile walk in at DC I just don't know. K I love you but this is crazy. I think I need like four more months. As a bit of a tidbit I found out that the 50 mile walk stems from 1962 when Kennedy challenged people to walk 50 miles. I have started to hope that maybe it will be 50K not 50 miles - .
One of the things that Dr. C talked about was "value your sacrifices" To me this was something I assume that everyone has thought about but I never did. She told the story of how she became friends with her trainer and they had done a hard work-out and then went to breakfast. At breakfast she went and got a donut and he asked her what she was doing. She said I worked hard I deserve the donut. He said no you don't deserve the donut you deserve to value your sacrifice. It sounded better her telling it.
I think it's more like you get to brag about your sacrifice. That's more fun than a donut anyway.
ReplyDeleteDonuts are fleeting (except the Krispy Kremes which give 3 days of heartburn)
ReplyDeleteSacrifices are forever
Use the FOOT SOAKING tub & load it up with Epson salts
We can easily do MANY miles in DC - probably too many!
T, I love you too. Please don't kill yourself over this walk. I prefer you alive and kicking, not alive and draggin!
