12 Miles-Yeah!!

Today was our Avon sponsored 12 mile walk and it was definitely a training walk. This is the first time that Dee and I actually felt really challenged and at the end of the walk we were pretty tired but very proud! It felt good to cross the finish line and both Matt and Martin came out to cheer us on! After the race we got to sit for a bit and listen to some presentations about the race itself, and Dee brought "pink lady" apples for us to enjoy which were amazing. All in all, a GREAT day and I feel like I have really built up some strength in my legs. I also invested in some special distance walking socks to deal with my blisters, and BOY, what a difference! No hint of blisters today and I feel pretty good! I will definitely sleep well tonight. Thanks again to all my great supporters! I could not do it without you!
