End of Week #3

Well, week #3 training…………….what else can I say………..the excitement is building, with making packing list and list of things I still need to buy and figuring out how to get to opening ceremonies, parking, shuttle back to the parking and just the anticipation of getting there to start the journey!
This weekend I traveled to Mobile to train with a team mate and it was really nice. I had not been able to spend time with her and catch up since we were in High School. Erika and I had been close friends and both moved away from the Foley area as soon as we graduated, so we really lost track of each other. She has two beautiful little girls and we took them with us. She pushed them in the stroller for the entire 7.5 miles, while I tagged along and we caught up on things that had happened throughout the years. Time seemed to fly by for me, but as you can probably imagine, she was complete worn out. This weekend’s temps were a little higher than last weekend and the breeze was much less, but it was not unbearable. Getting out in the heat again is good since we really cannot predict what we will be walking in yet anyway. I was able to get back out to the park in Foley Sunday for another 14 miles. I was 9 miles short of the training schedule for week #3 but I feel ok about making the distance. With the overage from last week of 6 miles, I am still somewhat on track! This upcoming week holds more mileage as the time draws even closer. Week #2 will be the last full week before the walk and the last of the big mileage! Please continue to pray for my Mom as she will be getting the place in her arm removed sometime soon. Also, remember Lundy Adcock. She has finished her second round for the Leukemia and is heading home to recover for 4 weeks until her 3rd round in November. Thanks for all of your support!
