Lovely Day

Today was such a beautiful day. After the big 12 miler yesterday, we were scheduled to do a 6 mile walk today. Martin and Dee met us at our place in Cow Hollow and we walked down to the Embarcadero to walk along the water. Today was something called Sunday Streets where the city shuts down a road to cars and it becomes bike and pedestrian only for a couple of hours, so the walk was wide open and uncrowded. We walked down to AT&T park and then back for lunch at the Ferry building. Martin and Dee got the F line back to their house after lunch and Matt and I walked another 2 miles back to ours after shopping at the Ferry market for some yummy, fresh Halibut and organic veggies for dinner tonight.

Our total mileage was 20 miles for the weekend, which is a lot for me. My ankle is just the tiniest bit stiff and sore this afternoon, which I imagine it will be as each week we increase our walks by about 2 miles. It's nothing that can't be dealt with with a little Tylenol, so I am thrilled that it has held up so well! So far, so good. And it has been SO fun to get to do this with Dee for the big walks and Matt for the follow ups. I have also been learning just how many of my friends and family have been affected by this disease with more than just the people I knew myself, so it makes the walk even more essential. Thanks again to all my supporters out there! It should be an amazing experience!
