On Saturday we walked for 8 miles on the path along the Potomac River. What an amazing place to walk! The walk was rough - don't get me wrong. But it was great walking and chatting with L and her friend C (they know each other from college). After walking with them, I had to run some errands - and walked an additional 2 miles. My goodness, I walked 10 miles in one day! I don't think I have ever done that before! It felt great. But I was so sore after wards. A nice hot shower, take out and a chick flick made for a great Valentine's Day.
On Sunday, day 2 called for some more training! I walked up to L's house and met her and C. It was time for our 6 miles trek around Alexandria. One of the best things about walking, is seeing all of the great little shops, coffee houses and restaurants in the area. I have never been to the Del Rey / Braddock Heights before. It was great. I love finding cute little places!
Day 2 was another rough walk. I feel so out of shape. L and C are great motivation for me. They keep up their "endurance" pace (13 minute miles!) I feel like such a slacker but am so glad I am walking with them. I then had to run some more errands and walked another 1.5 miles.
18 miles total for the weekend?!?!?! Oh my goodness. Beyond impressed with myself - and so excited to keep going!
Oh oh oh! I bought new running shoes today and I am soooo excited. They are so pretty and comfy (never thought I would be so excited about a pair of exercise shoes!) I am in love...
Oh, and the sale guy wasn't too bad on the eyes :-)
