Day 10/140 4 mile walk

Today it seemed as if this walk was never going to happen. I had Mother Nature working against me. I knew rain was in the forcast for the afternoon so I decided to gear up and head out. My walking partners consisted of my hubby John and our boys. Well as we start to head out the clouds rolled in and here came the rain. Typically that would killed my motivation for the whole day but I knew it would only hurt me in the end when the marathon rolled around.

Finally at around 4pm I knew it was now or never so we geared up again and hit the pavement! The sun was finally out, it was a little muggy it I didn't care I knew I would feel better after waking. Let me tell ya my husband and boys are wonderful troopers when I drag them on these crazy walks. Not one complaint and no hollers to stop for ice cream as we passed the little ice cream shop in town. 

We kept an average pace of 2.6 mph, not bad for pushing a stroller while John pulled the wagon :) I have noticed that if I walk with friends, usually Vicki or Robyn, with no kids my pace is faster. But poor Vicki was stuck on the treadmill for her 4 miles and let me tell ya that's one boring walk! It took us about and hour and half to finish but I completed it and felt great afterwards!

This has been no easy task and I am sure when people hear me of all people are doing a marathon they think I am nuts but that's just more motivation to push through and do this!!!!
