We Can Do It

Ready to begin our 22 mile training walk on the
Boardwalk in Bethany Beach

Yesterday Mary and I walked 22 miles. This morning we got up and could still walk.

I think those two things combined finally leave us with the confidence to believe we really can complete the Avon 39.

We did our long walk at the beach, starting in Bethany Beach, DE and making our way south into Ocean City.

Thankfully my mom was around to chauffeur us to a good starting point, and walk with us for our first few miles, pick us up at the end of the 22 miles and buy us yummy Mexican take out for dinner.

Today we were both sore, but not in pain and started our day walking the length of the Rehoboth boardwalk before heading home.

We both know the Avon 39 will be tough, but so are we!

Highway through Delaware; Arriving in Fenwick Island and a return to
civilization; Entering Maryland - 7.2 miles in to the walk; at the Inlet in Ocean City,
about 17 miles in.
