I walked 4.97 miles yesterday and then stood in the sun for the car wash for 3 hours. My feet hurt. Our outfitters said that the feet would start to hurt around the ten mile mark. They were sooooo right. My heels are killing me to the point where I am having a difficult time walking. At least taking a bath and soaking helps a bit.
I have been through some pretty rough times. I have had to so some things for survival which I would do again if I had to. I have not had an easy life and I think those experiences are helping me through the training and all that is involved.
I had to wake up at 5 this morning to go to a "video shoot" for an inspirational video for the team. Well, that is what I was told it was going to be. It didn't sound like anyone was going to go so I wanted to show some team spirit and I put on my big girl panties and got up in the rain and went to the meeting site. Well, the video turned out to be a way for us to be critiqued on our walking styles. Then to top it off, we didn't end up walking because of the torrential downpour. So, I was able to go back to sleep at 7.
I don't like to complain much about a situation I am in when it is going on because it serves no purpose(IE, "It's hot!", "I'm cold!", "I'm bored!", etc)and listening to someone else complaining drives me nuts.
I can't wait for it to be over though. I am missing out on quite a bit of fun because I need to be up early on the week ends with the team for training walks.
To top it all off, I am getting tan. At one point in my life I would have WOO HOO-ed, but now, I see it as cooking my skin and getting wrinkles.
At least my legs are starting to tone up and my ass is starting to develop a nicer shape. I haven't lost much weight, only 12 pounds, but I keep trying.
