Exactly 2 weeks from today I'll be on Day 2 of the walk - I'll have already completed 20 miles and will working on miles 21 - 40. Luckily, I fit some training walks into my weekends over the last few months so I'm feeling really good about the 3 Day - I know my legs will carry me through.
I know that I wouldn't have been able to commit to any of the training walks (each training walk was 10+ miles) without Sean. He was my source of entertainment when my mind would shut down and he was my source of encouragement when my thighs would feel like a ton of bricks. I'm not sure how he trained for 3 marathons all on his own - because I couldn't have made it through any of these 3+ hours-long training walks without him. 
The highlight of the training walks was knowing that I'd be walking along the ocean at some point during the walk, whether it was on the beach itself or along the cliffs. I know MN won't have nearly the same views - but given that I'll get to spend 3 days with one of my closest girlfriends during the walk I'll gladly trade the view for time spent with her. 
Again, thank you all so much for your generous donations to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. I'll be taking lots of pictures documenting my experience during the 3-Day Walk and will be writing a full blog post when I return. Thank you!!
