Well, my update yesterday apparently didn’t post. Sorry about that.
I won’t go into the 100 ways my body is telling me Saturday’s walk was a mistake, but I think everything below my waist has been laughing at me since we stopped walking on Satuday.
But that’s OK. I’m healing up and spent most of Saturday night and Sunday resting. I was really bumbed that I couldn’t make the GNC in Dallas. Matt went and stayed till about midnight.
He said he had just fallen asleep when the sprinklers on the softball field came on.
They got up to move to the parking lot and decided to keep on walking and headed home.
The local news stations reported more than a thousand people showed up for the event. Channel 11 gave the event about a minute and a half, Channel 5 gave about 30 seconds. I didn’t see anything on Channel 8 or 4. I’ll skim the web later today and see if I can find anything on it.
But despite the pain the last 36 hours or so, I’m glad we did it. And I’m going to complete that walk before it’s all said and done – in new shoes of course.

Even considered the old beaten path: the Camino de Santiago, or The Way of St. James in Spain?
I’ve researched it and found that it takes some up to six weeks to make the trek from St. Jean Pied de Port in the French Pyrenees, but some have done it in four weeks. It used to be strictly a Catholic thing to see the so called tomb of St. James, but no one buys it that is actually his tomb, so it’s more of a fun recreational thing now. Fun, depending on the walker, sort of like good, depending on the beer drinker.
And, of course, you’d have to sample all the different beers along the way to replenish those lost liquids. And the food up there is the best anywhere.
I bought a new pair if hiking boots on Sunday.
Let’s do it… know anyone with access to free airfare?
