104 miles down.
Most of me is loving this journey - - part of me does not. That part of me that is not having fun is mostly my toes, my shins and my right hip. I laugh and try to figure out how to cope with these things because it is only just beginning. We are still 19 weeks from the event and I will be logging a whole lot of miles between now and then.
Yesterday's walk really hit me hard. I didn't eat well before I went and had nothing but water with me. I crashed hard at 4 miles and dragged 2 more after that - the lesson is learned. I can assure you THAT will not happen again!
So far I have only found one walking area that has water faucets, which is unfortunate. I did not want to do it but I am going to have to buy a Hydration pack (Camel) like I used to wear when I hiked. There is just no other way to ensure I have the water I need. I'm still looking for walking partners for the weekend walks. Those longer walks allow a lot of time for negativity to enter the mind. While that negativity will be a good thing to overcome, I just assume have a partner to distract me. lol Hey - I'll take what I can.
My toes really do hate me right now.

You are amazing. I think I will be purchasing a camel back too. I hope your toes stop screaming at you soon! I miss you!
