No turning back now...


I just signed my 2 friends and myself up for the first "Corre-caminata" ever to be held in our town. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this, too.

I tried to find a translation to Corre-caminata. It's not a Walk-a-thon, because we don't pledge anything or raise money through it. I found the term Fun-Run, and I like that. We can walk or run 7 km (4.3 miles). Whoever makes it to the finish line receives a certificate.

My friends and I had started walking over a month ago, and last week we heard about this Fun-Run and decided to try it.

  • I hope I don't embarass myself.
  • I hope I don't come in last.
  • I hope I don't get blisters.
  •  I hope I have fun!
Wish us luck!

  2. If you get too inspired and find you have walked too far. If you find yourself on the East Coast of the U.S. looking at a white farmhouse with escaped goats running around the unruly yard, I will greet you. I will welcome you with iced tea, some baked goods, and I will share my band-aids for your feet! I would invite you for dinner and fly you home! lol :) lol:)

    Seriously, I'm impressed that you would do this. I know several people who do walks and some even do marathons. I should do more walking. It's easy to deceive myself that eight loads of laundry in one day is an Olympic event, but I could do myself a favor by getting in better shape!
    I hope you have a good day at the Corre-caminata! The cartoon is so funny! My dog does that.
    Blessings!

  4. And I kinda wish you'd have asked me to join you! It just can't be fun doing it on your own! So I may see you at the half-way point!
    I'm proud of you!
