So the Walk is over now! It was an amazing experience! I’ve never experienced anything like this before. Thank you for your support! I wouldn’t have been able to take part in this experience without all of your support. We walked 26.2 miles the first day and 13.1 miles the second day for a total of 39.3 miles with over 1900 other walkers! I met so many amazing people during this walk.
I am still recuperating after putting that many miles on my legs. I can barely walk because my knees are killing me now, but it was well worth it. It also makes me realize that there’re many older women that are in better shape and have a more durable body than me as well!
We walked all around Long Beach. We started at the Queen Mary and ended up at El Dorado Park. The next day, we went back to the Queen Mary through a different route. There were so many people outside of their homes as well at all of the rest stops we had supporting all of the walkers. People had signs outside of their houses. They also had water and snacks for the walkers as well. To see the number of people that were out there supporting and even walking was so affecting.
I took a bunch of pictures along the way. Check them out here:
