Bittersweet

Tales from the trails for today were, as the title says, bittersweet. On one hand I am very happy to report that I completed my walk of 7.5 miles today, but on the other I am bummed to report that my team-mate and training buddy is injured and was unable to complete the walk today. Jennifer gave her best effort, but I flagged her with a safety ticket and told her that I thought she needed a rest. It was a tearful parting actually but Kristen (Jennifer's sister-in-law) and I continued on and Jen called when she was safely back to her car.

In other good news...after the walk Cory, Jennifer, and I visited Dana Askew, my massage therapist, and Cory and Jen both got full body massages, and I had my legs checked out post-walk to make sure they were not inflamed (I had a full massage yesterday!). My legs, although sore, are not injured, so that is a BIG praise!

So, tomorrow I have a 6 mile walk and then next week begins...only 12 more weeks until the 3 Day! We'll see how it goes with me walking solo. Please add Jennifer to your prayer list that she may have a healing touch and be back on the trail soon!!

Walking on...and strong,
Traci
