I signed up Wednesday, and on Friday, Jeffrey and I headed to Lake Horton in Fayette County to start training. I walked my 3 miles with Jeffrey in his jogging stroller--all 40 pounds of him. As we hit about 2.5 miles, he just breaks down and insists that we have just passed the playground. After a battle of wills, he finally got back into the stroller (probably just so he could prove me wrong), and we headed to the playground. I found out today while we were walking there, that he thought the mega-huge power poles that run through the park were really big jungle gyms. Really. This is my life.
I had a class yesterday morning, so I didn't get a chance to walk. Oh, yeah. I forgot about the monsoon that came through yesterday. I did walk a little over a mile yesterday evening right before dark...and right before it started pouring again.
Today after church, Jeffrey and I headed back out to Lake Horton. I was not prepared for the number of people there today. Wow. I have never been there on a weekend before, and there are just not that many people there at one time during the day Monday thru Friday. So, we dodged a lot of dogs and bicycles and I got my 5 miles in for today.
Tomorrow is a scheduled rest day, so I'll report back on Tuesday.

Amanda! How COOL that you will again do the 3-DAY WALK! I fondly remember our 2001 Event when you were SO VERY pregnant and we were FLOODED by a rainstorm and it was totally wonderful from beginning to end! I envy your 2005 participation and hold you firmly in my thoughts as you train and train and train some more!
Best regards,
Joy Johnson, your tent-buddy '01
