Since I will need to average 12-13 miles this was a significant milestone in my training. I was ridiculously anxious--the furthest I had previously walked was 8.6 miles. What would 13 miles feel like? What would I feel like? I was pretty sure I could make it, but I still felt anxious.
But I MADE IT! Not too speedy--4 hours and 30 minutes, including breaks. My feet ache (but no blisters!), my legs ache, and since I burned 2400 calories, I'm famished. But I MADE IT!
If I weren't so tired I would do a Rocky fist pump.
Respect girl!! Since I'm thinking of heading into Philly today I'll do a fist pump in you honor, on those very steps!! Buen Camino, Karin
