8 miles

It was another informal long run/walk of 8 miles. As we get closer to the Marathon, our distance tapers down. The weather was great and the crowd was bigger than I had expected. Kathy and I left at 6:00am, a little later than most of the walkers. I had wanted to sleep in, but as luck would have it, I woke up early anyway. We finished in 2 hours and were pleased with our time.

The excitement, as well as the tension, is mounting. We are all like racehorses chomping at the bit, ready to be let out of the gate with only 15 days to go until Marathon.
