8 Freaking miles!
We're a little over half way training for our half marathon, (about 7-8 weeks from now), and our trainer had us walk 8 miles today. And I DID it. With pretty much no problems. How amazing is that??? 6 months ago, I could barely walk 1/2 mile without stopping because of back pain and knee pain. Now I'm up to about 18 minute miles. I am in shock!
And I want to thank ALL of you for your advice on nutrition. I've been experimenting with what to eat before, during and after. I had a banana before the walk today, put Nuun in my water (20 ounces) and drank during the walk. Finished another bottle (2 cups) after the walk, then had turkey jerky. And I felt great. Thanks.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
