We did it! On Sunday Jenn and I walked 7 miles after having completed 13.5 on Saturday. We met up with the group at San Diego Running Institute. The shop is owned by a chiropractor that runs ultramarathons. He has worked the Komen 3 day for 10 years. Starting off at the shop's parking lot we walked 7 miles around the college area - including a mega hill! We started off a bit slower than our pace had been the day before since we were still a bit stiff but we made it.
The walk ended back at SDRI where the Doc had bagels and juice waiting for us. He then gave a talk for us about choosing the correct gear and how to prevent blisters. He showed us some different stretches to help with various muscle pain issues and let us test out a variety of products that you can use on your feet to help prevent blisters from happening. Jenn and I were definitely interested in those! The Doc will have a booth at the Breast Cancer Expo that we are attending this weekend so we will likely stop by check out some of the products further.
On Tuesday Jenn and I did a light day with a 4 mile walk....it did include a big hill though. A new accessory made its walking debut on this walk. My mom got me a very cute pink glittery ribbon pin. I put it on my hat so it will be joining me on all our walks. =) After we finished we came back to my house and watched the premiere of The Biggest Loser. If you ever need any inspiration in your efforts to get moving and eat healthy that show is it!
Our goal this weekend is to do a mini-three-day. We're going to try to do 10 miles each day Friday-Sunday. Saturday is also the Komen Breast Cancer Expo! We get to met all sorts of walkers, vendors, coaches and get a lot of great information. So wish us luck on what will be our biggest walking weekend yet - 30 miles!
