...and I would walk 500 more.
As you may have seen from my summer 2013 list my sister and I decided that we will both walk and/or bike 500 miles this summer (see number 5). In order to not kill ourselves since neither one of us are super amazing athletes (sorry, R, but it is true...) we are actually starting now with the beginning of day light savings time marking the start of this challenge. I am not sure when the end date is, probably September 21 since that is the end of Summer. Maybe August 31 because honestly September does not feel like summer to me.
Today we walked 6.8 miles on the Katy. We have no sense of distance. We first realized this while driving to Colorado 2 summers ago and amused ourselves in Kansas by trying to guess how far away buildings and windmills were in the flat fields. We were always wrong. Today we thought "oh that was probably 3 miles." No wonder my feet were tired.
I really dug the part we walked on today, I had never been on it before. Some really nice forested areas. Some more open, flat areas, which today was great to have the sun beating down since it was not entirely warm. I found a house I am madly in love with and want to now somehow buy it someday. We almost made it to Greens Bottom trailhead but I had a time crunch and needed to get home. Next time.
That added to the 3 miles from Monday at Graham Cave equals 9.8 miles. Only 490.2 more to go...
And yes, I will be listening to this song the whole entire time.
Da da da da (da da da da).
What are your goals for this summer/spring? I would love for more people to join in the 500 miles challenge!
