I have. I am leaving shortly to walk over to the walk.
Since I am walking 1 month before most people out here the “training schedules” are different.
The training schedules are not the only way to prepare, but they give a good idea of where you might want to be to be ready for the big walk. This is the big back-to-back weekend for Michigan. 18-15. I did a 17 yesterday, so pretty close. Today there are a bunch of 13 miles walks planned. I plan to walk to and from one of these to get my 15.
Ashlan got to see the Chelsea v Seattle Sounders game yesterday with 60,000 plus other fans. It sounded like a great game. Sounders lost 0-2, but they were playing Chelsea, after all and they apparently put on a good show. It was also the openning day of Seattle’s light-rail line, which has a station by the stadiums. So the front page of today’s paper can feature both events without discrimination. I would like to have checked out the train yesterday, but it is only from downtown to the south so far, and we are north, and I was otherwise occupied anyway. In a few years it should be finished closer to our neck of the woods, and in a few more years – into our neighborhood. Patience, patience. I envision the day I can walk a few blocks and take the train all the way to the airport.
