Whoo Hoo!! Two days of walking. In a row. Thursday I walked 2 miles in the morning. I had a great day at work. Ate ok. Lots of blueberries. Love those blueberries. Dh paid bills so we walked the dogs up to the mailbox and around to the park and home. I think it was about 1.5 miles. It was nice.
Woke up Friday morning with plans to walk 5 miles with my friend. So I wake up at 6, have a breakfast of blueberries and yogurt and off I go to meet her. Off we went. Busy road and lots of wind. Not the good wind either. It was the wind that was coming from speeding dump trucks. Finally we turned off that road. Back to the car. Wow, that only took little less than an hour. Are you sure that was 5 miles. Nope, I checked when I got home and it was 4. Right on track for my timing. I thought I had really sped up. Only in my dreams.
She has a friend that owns a protein shake store, so we went there after our walk and she treated me with a shake. Chocolate and toasted marshmallow. It was really good. And good for me. My friend said it was only around 300 calories. So, that was my snack/lunch. I will probably have a banana and a sandwich later for lunch.
Dh and I will probably take the dogs for a walk again tonight. Only 4 weeks till my big race. I hope I am ready. And to top it off I started today. So more than likely I will be on my period for this big race too. And that is not fun. That weekend I will be doped up on Midol, Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Imodium. Hope I don’t get stung by a bee cause then I will have to take Benadryl. Maybe I should check with a pharmacist to see if those are all ok to take at the same time. Throw Red Bull and power bars in that mix and it will be really interesting. Oh I love Portland to Coast.

Awesome job on all the walking. And I’m totally jealous that your hubby will go with you. Did you have to convince him to go or does he go willingly?
ANSWER: Thanks! He wanted to go to the mail box to mail bills. That is the only way I can get him to walk with me. He won’t speed walk with me.
Dang that’s a lot of walking! I think you’ll be in fine shape for your race. I need to go get blueberries. Everyone has blueberries except for me. I canned blackberry, raspberry and cherry jam and we really don’t need anymore jam, so maybe I’ll just freeze some blueberries. I tossed some in a salad with raspberry vinagrette the other day and, oh, yum. Glad to see you’re back to blogging!
