The Good Old Days

Ahhhh..... I remember fondly that period of time not so long ago when I had to walk 24 or 25 miles over the course of a week. Now I'm doing that in a weekend. I'm not going to lie. It's getting kind of old. But once we get out there, it's not all that bad. Somehow, we still managed to have a lot of fun today.

Jennifer and I walked 15 miles today. 15 miles! I still can't believe it. It's the most either of us has walked in a day. We met at 5 am and walked about 4 miles to a bagel shop. We split a bagel and Jennifer got her coffee fix. Then we walked 6 more miles to another coffee shop. There we split a scone and refueled with some orange juice. Five miles later we had breakfast at IHOP. Sure, it sounds like all we're doing is eating, but we walked for over 4 hours today. We spent much more time walking than eating.

We normally walk on the canal, but we pretty much know it like the back of our hands so we wanted a little change in scenery. We used MapMyRun to find a route with two places to rest for a bit. Because one of our stops opened later than we had hoped, we had to do our planned route backwards. Also, we had a little trouble with the maps. So, we were supposed to walk only 14 miles today (only! ha, that's funny), but due to all our issues it ended up being 15 miles. Next Saturday and Sunday we are scheduled to do 15 and 11 miles. We've already knocked a mile of the 15-miler.
