Last Week
Things are heating up. I walked 15 miles last week, thanks in large part to Andy who was willing to walk with me. I confess that I am getting bored with my walk. I love my street, but I'm pretty sure I know what flowers are growing in which yard by now. It is good to go over and walk at my brother's house, because it's a .5 mile circle and I can stop for water and bathroom as needed. I've done that so often that his neighbors are starting to call me by name now.
I attended a Focus meeting on Saturday, which is intended to keep us motivated on fundraising and give us more information about the walk. I learned some valuable information. For example, walkers should not get pedicures for a couple of months prior to the 3-day walk because we need our callouses to prevent blisters. I don't actually get pedicures except before special events - my last one was the week before my wedding. I was actually thinking about getting one though. I thought that I should pamper my feet since I'm torturing them, but I guess I won't be doing any exfoliating until after the walk.
