Many miles to go!

Yesterday was the day for my 10 mile walk. Dee and I went to the gym that has an inside track because of the weather it was just to cold to try and accomplish it outside so off we went! I was so ready and pumped to get going. The track is like the type of road we will be walking on in March and boy was I in for a surprise. I started off really well (you have to go around 60 times to make 10 miles WOW) I was doing really well until mile 5 and that ugly ankle was starting to hurt and would not let up! I held my head high and continued on. I was so determined to make the 10 miles but this type of track was really hard. My legs began to hurt my thighs felt as if they were on fire etc.....So by mile 7 my ankle just gave out (bummer). I am really glad I tried the track but it just lets me know that I have to work harder and I really need to strive for more.

Today I feel as if someone has run me over. I am icing my ankle and stretching it out as much as I can and hoping by tomorrow that I will be ready for anything. Next week I am going to give the track another try and hopefully be able to say that 10 miles have come and gone.
