68 miles down....loads more to go

My, it’s been a busy month – where has is gone?! I’ve been walking all over I tell you.  My husband and I went to Oakland, California to visit our family (and explore wine country of course).  We had a great time visiting and got to explore quite a bit by foot – we even walked across the Golden Gate Bridge!! The views were amazing and it was great to fit a little training in while on vacation. Across and back the bridge is approximately 3.4 miles.
Well now it’s back to work and the rain seemed to return with us.  I managed to complete 9 ½ miles on Sunday and it felt great.  A lot of people ask me – how do you do that? How long does it take? Aren’t you bored?  The answers are easy.  If you put one foot in front of the other over and over again your really start to get the hang of it. Seriously though, I can’t imagine doing it without company or an audio book or two. Currently I am listening Anne of Green Gables.  I loved reading this when I was younger and it’s been fun revisiting it.
Tonight I’m planning on 5-8; I guess it all depends on the weather and my feet.  Breaking in a new pair of kicks today – love that new cushy feeling!!
