This day turned out better than expected, as we were able to exceed our goal of 21 miles...and quite easily. I had come to Susanville for this last long walk before the marathon because I wanted to get in some high altitude training along with the distance training. We walked up and back (twice) on the Biz Johnson Trail and that gave us 18.7 miles, so we turned around and headed back up the mountain one more time. We didn't go far, just far enough to give ourselves a 21.5 mile walk at a 3.9 mph pace. We both felt that we could have gone another 5 miles easily.
So it seems that the marathon is within reach now...if we can do 21.5 miles, we can certainly do 26.2!
I didn't get a chance to weight myself immediately after the walk, but this morning I weigh 198.

So glad you could make it up here for a training day. I really enjoyed our walk and can't believe we are in such good shape. Portland here we come!!! Love Ya.
It was good, wasn't it...a perfect walking day! Now it's just a matter of some shorter and faster walks to keep us "tuned up" and then no walks for the last 3 or 4 days before the marathon. Oh, maybe a 3 miler or? But just for fun, right?
