Average Jane Went A’Walking

It was a gorgeous day. We walked 7.8 miles and I learned that I am in terrible, terrible shape. Fortunately, my fancy new shoes protected my feet, but my knees and hips hurt a lot.

I finally had to quit taking pictures because the walk pace was already brutal and I got behind every time I stopped for a moment. You can see my whole set on Flickr.

    What an excellent day for a walk! Nearly 8 miles — that’s impressive. My knees would be barking too. 🙂

    GREAT PICTURES!!!
    Thanks for coming to the walk! Sorry I haven’t posted mine yet, I’ve been extremely busy this week but should have them up by tomorrow.
    The next group walk will be in April and this time will be on a Sunday in order to take advantage of lighter traffic. It will be more brutal – 13 miles – but should be a terrific route. We’l be going from North Kansas City to Prairie Village. (Yes, a Missouri River crossing is part of it!) Details to come at kctourwalk.com.

    ScooterJ – Thanks for planning the walk! A lot of people have told me that they’re interested in going on the next one. I’m hoping to be a lot more aerobically prepared by then myself. 🙂
