I finally made the 12km walk from the cottage into Baysville -- Hayley and Greg didn't want to starve so they drove in and met me there for breakfast!!
1 hr 40 min....Next goal is walk there - refeul - and walk back....have to take advantage of these beautiful summer days that are finally here!!!
Less than a month to go and still a lot of walking to do to gear up for two 30km days in a row!!! Cottage roads are calling.....

Instead of taking the car, I've been trying to walk wherever and whenever I can. I've walked to the grocery store and carried groceries in a back pack home. I've walked to meet my family at a local restaurant instead of going with them in the car. My longest walk so far has been 2 hrs through parks and streets in my community. I'm really enjoying my walks, but find the most difficult thing is finding the time .... I can't take my 5 year old with me as she can't keep up (yet!) and Its tough to decide to spend precious time away from her and Greg. Cottage roads are calling and a 9k trek into town is next on my list... maybe the family will meet me there for breakfast....

My first big walk with the ladies in the "hood" was excellent - fast paced, approx 6 km, and an early start allowed me to get Hayley dressed and off to school on time. I've started parking the car after work and then walking 1.5k to get Hayley at school and then we walk 1.5k together home. Double benefit of increasing her physical activity level as well.
Somehow the boots I wore ALL winter gave me a blister on my right foot. Apparently these tootsies need some toughening up!!
Hayley and I did another 2km yesterday at the cottage -- that's about all she can handle right now - looking forward to increasing her endurance and strength through my training.
My heel is healing and I look forward to other fast walks with the ladies.....shin splints, here I come!

I have a feeling I might be going to bed a little earlier than normal tonight.....
