July 23, 2007: Which is frighteningly close to August 3…

…which is when the 3Day starts! And, of course, I have not yet managed to walk more than 8 miles in one go — not because I couldn’t do it, but because I never have more than two or three hours free at a time.  The 8 miles was no problem — I started to feel a little tired around mile 6 but after I had one of those nasty electrolyte gummy cubes, I felt fine. 

On the other hand, the foot may still be an issue. It’s still not quite right although weirdly, it feels better when I walk on it.  For a while. And then it starts ouching. 

Make a long story short, I am fully prepared for the idea that I might NOT actually be able to do all 60 miles, but that’s not really the point, right? I mean, I could lie around eating mocha almond ice cream and watching chick flicks, and then just TELL you all that I had done the walk — why not? How would you know? But nooooo, I’m actually going out there like a fool, so keep your fingers crossed!  (Oh, except the ones you need to click on the DONATION LINK if you haven’t already done so.)
