Cyndi - you can for sure walk 6+ miles. Absolutely.
Suggestions below if you want them:
In these 8 days, stretch at least twice everyday, go for a 1.5 mi walk one or two days in a row, then go 2 miles two days later, 4 miles two days later. TADA - you will be ready for 6 miles on Day 8. If you can successfully walk the 3, you can go 6 for that day. I promise.
Drink extra water ALL WEEK, and you may need to allow yourself a few extra ww carbs, esp the night before (brown rice, ww pasta) and the morning of (I usually do an egg with ww toast for breakfast before a long run). Even "walking" takes it out of you. And make sure you have really good shoes. You DO have good shoes, right??
I worked myself up to 6 miles jogging so far (going for a half marathon in Sept) and worked it out with an Ironman trainer . . . it works!!
Be well -
