why Nicole is no fun on weekends, and why that's okay

[saffronhare]

I'm getting down to the last few weeks before the Breast Cancer 3-Day, and weekend walks are getting pretty intense. Tomorrow is 17 miles (starting at 0630) and Sunday is 13 miles (starting at 0645). And it just gets better after then, right up to September 15th!

The countdown for Saturday/Sunday walks:
Week 6 = 18/14
Week 5 = 18/15
Week 4 = 10/8
Week 3 = 10/8
Week 2 = 18/8
Week 2 = 10/8
Week 1 = Actual Event!

It's starting to become a really amazing experience, to train myself to cover these distances comfortably and cheerfully. Quite different from military marches in a bazillion ways, most of which I can't express. Still, it means that most of my weekend nights -- Friday through Sunday -- are devoted to getting enough rest and making sure home life doesn't suffer. So.

Please don't take offense if I don't show up at stuff, okay? Thanks!

So, I'm starting to wonder, have you worn out a pair of tennies yet? ;-) Good luck and keep up the hard work!!!

Yes -- as a matter of fact, I have! But I have two pairs of new running/walking shoes, in addition to the older ones (for which I'll just get some new inserts so I have them as a back-uo). :)
