Bloomsday

-->

Today we took a 7.46 mile walk.  It must have been a good day for walking as there was 44, 626 other people on the road as well.

Bloomsday was fun, even more so walking with Lori on her first Bloomsday.  We survived the walk without too many aches and pains.  Lori's knees started hurting again afterward but we're hoping it isn't too much of a setback.  These things are frustrating but I suppose they are to be expected with two middle-aged people who spent so much time sitting on the couch. Everyone has their dues to pay.

The buzzard didn't get us today!

This was the longest walk we've taken in our training so far but it is still slightly less than half of the walking we'll have to do on the Camino every day.  It's a good thing we are still 25 months out.

The prize.

From here we plan to give our feet and knees a couple days of rest then get back on the trail again.  The goal is to increase frequency to four to five walks a week, one of which is about 7.5 miles. As our bodies allow we will slowly increase frequency and duration.  We are making progress, slowly but surely.
