Okay, I’ve emailed my family, so the word is out, I can’t back-out now. BJ has agreed to be my support vehicle as well as valet for people that want to join me for only part of the walk. Mike has tentatively agreed to walk the full route, so we’re up to 3 people committed to doing 50k, Mike, Meagan and myself.
I’m close to a final route using a new tool Meagan sent me, MapMyRun.com. After driving the eastern part of my original draft for a route, I’ve completely reworked the eastern leg. I’m going out and back a long straight stretch of the Greenbelt that follows an old railroad track. I hadn’t wanted to double-back on any of my route to keep it from being boring, but I also wanted to include as much of the Greenbelt as I can. By making this change I’ll stay on better paths and hit a part of the Greenbelt that I couldn’t pickup otherwise. I’ll post a link to my planned route shortly.
I had a good run this morning, matching my 9:29/mile pace for a 4 mile run. I’ll post my Runkeeper log anytime I better my distance or pace otherwise just know I’m running every day.
