Okay, I did Bloomsday, although there is no real record of it. I swear I checked the ankle thing before I left the registration pickup...and I swear I put the thing on the right ankle...but I am not in the finishers anywhere...all of the other people I walked with are. Oh well. It was a chilly day...promised rain. So, we bundled up in our rain gear and made sure we had layers. We had a great walk. At first we were averaging 15 to 16 minute miles...walking of course and then...I drink a lot of water so right before Doomsday Hill I needed to pee...and we LOST our great average...we would have done so much better. There needs to be something we can do to avoid having to pee during the walk. I can not imagine not drinking water! So...I have to think of something next year, OR I need to ignore the urge. Last year I had hoped to walk with a 20 lb pack...well, my backpack was about 10lbs...maybe next year. And...recovery wasn't too bad. We got home Sunday after walking and eating at Red Robin, and everyone wanted to nap. I was sore Monday and maybe sore Tuesday...but nothing too major! If you haven't ever done Bloomsday, try it! I hope to do it again next year!
