Day 49

As you can see by the number 49 above, we're getting closer to the day of the Marathon. October 9th is "the day" and one of the nice things about that day is the fact that we won't have to train for awhile afterwards. In fact, we can quit our training walks about a week before the event.

I talked to Jill today and she also did a fast 18 miles and she did it at altitude! Susanville is right around 4,500' and that gives her great endurance when she walks at sea level. Plus she was doing a very hilly route, with lots of ups and downs. That kind of course will generate black toe nails very quickly.

Yes, I will be glad to see the end of walks around and around the park...so boring!

I got a new blister today. Hopefully, these will go away soon. Looking forward to "the day". Hopefully you can get up to this altitude for a training day.
