Hey, remember when I walked 60 miles for breast cancer?
Hard to believe when walking 4 miles today just about killed me.
After I paper edited all the documents I have to finish by Tuesday COB, I decided that I deserved a break while the sun was shining. And, reinvigorated after working crew with orangey at last weekend's Boston 3-Day Walk, I decided that throwing on my shoes and hitting the Minuteman trail would do me some good.
First thing, I put on my shoes. Then I dug out my waist pack which has been neglected since last year's walk and packed it with water and iPod and cell phone and a snack. Then I tried to put it on. Then I had to adjust the strap so that it was bigger. D'oh!
Finally, I hit the road. And by mile 1, my knee was hurting. By mile 2, my opposite hip was hurting. By mile 3, my feet were just laughing at me. I staggered up the hill to my house, dripping with sweat, and did my ending stretches. I'm afeared at how I'll feel tomorrow.
I decided last weekend that I want to walk another Walk next year. Good thing I'm starting training now. Sheesh!
