The weather forecast for the day was 80 and sunny. Now, anyone who knows Seattleites knows that we are wimps in the sun. Myself included. I was really not looking forward to 80 degree walk, especially since Wednesdays tend to be full of massive hills because they are shorter walks. I lucked out and the weather cooperated! The marine layer stayed on for most of the day, keeping the temperature a perfect 72. Whoo Hoo! I will take it. It was a little humid from the clouds, but hey, you can't have everything. This was also the longest walk to date in my new shoes and insole. I am happy to report that the tops of my feet did not hurt at all! I was even walking at the front of the pack with Jamie, who always far out walks me. Tath even took a picture of us, it was amazing how much faster you can walk when you are not in pain. :-) That said, I do feel some pressure on my toes and I suspect that is just from having new shoes. The true test will be on Saturday when we walk 16 miles.
Terry rarely makes the Wednesday walks, we meet up at 5:15 which is hard to do when you are working. The group always goes to dinner after the walks (do you see why no one loses weight??) and I haven't gone to dinner on Wednesdays yet. I called Terry and he said "sure!" to the dinner meet up. It was Tath's birthday, so a good excuse to gather. OK, maybe I had a margarita too. But I did stick with a salad, does that count??
This weekend we have a 16.5 mile walk on Saturday and a 12 mile walk on Sunday. Terry is golfing Sunday so I will be walking without him. I need to get as many back-to-backs in as possible. They really do make a difference in your training.
Happy Thursday!
