Miles walked the past two weeks: 67.8
Total Miles: 324.5 miles...the distance from our house to Iowa, LA. (215 miles from the Louisiana/Mississippi border. So it looks like LA and I will be together for awhile)
It's getting really close! : ) And the mileage is getting really long! It has finally cooled off here in the mornings, so that has made it really nice. It always stunk to walk in the 90 degree heat at 7:45 in the morning!
Since both boys are in school now, I walked my first really long distance by myself this week. I do longer distances on Saturdays on official training walks, but have never walked it alone. On the training walks, we stop frequently as the focus is on endurance and not speed. But I have been trying to build up my speed when I walk alone. So this week, I walked 10 miles and maintained an average pace of one mile every 16 minutes. I felt pretty good about that! It definitely shows my progress.
They say that on the 3-day you have to walk at least 3 miles an hour to complete the course. So I am maintaining almost a 4 mile/hour pace at this point. So I will continue to try to walk a little more and a little faster every day.

If you want, I could chase you. Not on foot ... but in my van. Or possibly on a moped or motorcycle. If it'll keep you focused, I could shoot at you or yell profanities. Whatever you think would motivate you more ... Just here to help babe!
