After 10
Where is Lars? My sexy (pretend) swedish masseur? I need a foot massage!
Holy cow. 10 miles is a long walk. I know that’s obvious on face value, but OMG it’s a long walk. I did it in 3hr 20 mins including the break I took upon arriving at Trader Joe’s where I bought a 25 ounce bottle of water and a banana and sat on a wall for a few minutes regrouping. It was about 85 degrees here today - somebody better tell the weatherman that October is tomorrow - but it was breezy and it was nice day for walking. I just put on the headset and left. Got through 45 songs on the iPod. All in all it was good.
I think I would have enjoyed it more with Megan, but she ultimately couldn’t make it. She is in school as well and oddly enough is taking statistics too, and she has assignment due by midnight tonight. She also had something she had to go to with her husband at 4pm, so taking 4 hours out of her day to walk with me was just more than she could commit to. I understood completely. She and I met up yesterday at the zoo and we got to spend some time there together catching up while her kids ran all over the place and tortured her for presents from the gift shop. (She’s a champ - didn’t even blink over the guilt trip they tried to lay on her!)
I’m feeling very good about myself today, not only because of the absurdly long walk but just because I’m feeling good. It’s nice to have a positive self-image for the last week or so. It was such a short time ago that I was faking it til I made it, about being in a good mood, and now I’m just living it.
I am strong, lean, smart, sexy, open, and proud of who I am today. And I am honored to have you reading my blog and supporting me on my journey.

10 miles?! Good work! I think the most I’ve done is 8 miles and that was divided it throughout my day. WAY TO GO
I knew you could do it. It took me a little over 3 hours to walk to town and back too. So are we on for another 10 mile walk next weekend???? I’ll give you a few days to regroup and think about it…LOL Send that masseur this way when you are done. LOL Have a good day.
You go girl! That is a long walk. What inspired you to take a journey that long and far?
You are doing so great and you are an inspiration. I draw strength and positive energy from you. Thanks!
Fantastic job! Hey, if you find Lars can you send him MY way? hehehe
