Ten weeks from now, I will be walking. And walking and walking. My 3 Day, 60 mile walk for Breast Cancer will be underway and I will be in the middle of something so much larger than myself.
At this point, my serious training has not begun. I’ve been walking, but most of the walks are no longer than 6 miles or so at this point. Some of this has had to do with time—who can spend hours walking with little kids at home during the summer? Some has had to do with the heat—who wants to walk for hours in 90+ heat with Atlanta humidity and allergens wafting through the air? But some of it is also that it hasn’t seemed quite real.
It is starting to feel more real. I’m nervous because it is so much walking. And although, having been raised in a running family, walking doesn’t seem like “real” exercise, the idea of doing 3 almost-marathons on 3 consecutive days is certainly going to take some serious stamina and conditioning. At the same time, I believe there is going to be plenty of adrenalin due to being a part of it, and that will help carry me through.
But seriously, it is time to start training more.
