Although my 16 weeks of training doesn't officially start until tomorrow, yesterday morning I took the dogs for a 3.4 mile jaunt in preparation for my first "long" walk next weekend. The weather was overcast and 70 when we left, which was a nice treat for a July morning in Kansas! While I aspire to walk around 4 miles an hour during training, with all of the dogs' stopping and sniffing and peeing and waterbreaking, we took just about an hour to make it that far.
I'm really excited for my 5 mile walk next weekend, primarily because I have friends who are going to be walking along with me! It will be such a nice treat to have company of the two-legged variety! My friend Amber was the first to volunteer as my walking partner, and then a few of our other friends agreed to join in the fun as well. I've mapped out a 5 mile loop starting from Amber's house using MapMyRun.com, which is a great website for measuring routes for walking, running or biking without driving them in your car or using a GPS. Anyway, it should be a fun way to start my weekend walking!
