OK, 14 miles is a LONG Walk. It is particularly long when, at the end of the first half, when one has already walked nearly 7 miles, there is a steep grade up the back of a dam!
My friend, Carole, and I have decided we need far more practice on hills. The second day of the Avon walk will be through various neighborhoods in San Francisco. If we are struggling with the one big hill on our regular path, we'll crash within the first few miles in SF! So, more practice on hills, and we'll definitely tackle the dam again!
The best part about this practice walk was meeting other women who are also committed to the cause. What surprised me most was how many of us were doing the walk for the first time. And, of the 8 or so women in the group, only 2 of us have had breast cancer ourselves. The rest are walking because they have been touched by this epidemic through friends or family members. Their dedication and support of those they love is truly inspiring.
