10 days to go and 21.5 today to walk

Hi, well I'm just up and getting ready to walk my last long walk before the actual long walk in Italy. I'm excited to see the last of the mandatory long walks, I like to think Iwill continue walking but I know it won't be 21.5 on Sundays! I know I will walk but I'd like to do it for fun for a while not because I have to. Actually this summer I look forward to roller blading, tennis, slow pitch and golf along with walking!!! But first I have to do my long walk today.....once that is done I think I will have a new perspective on walking! The worst part is I kinda of like the long walk, 4 hours of uninterupted time with Ernie and my music.
Now on to 10 days!!!! It's coming so fast and so slow, part of me just wants to be on the plane already and the other part is enjoying the build up excitement! I'm sure it will get here soon enough, and unfortunately go by to fast, but once I'm there I'm going to live in the moment! See you soon other racers, Dave and Sue!!!

Tell Dave to have the car running, I'm done walking for a bit! No the kids had a surprize party for us so they made excuses not to come. It was very nice, fruit, juice and cheese and crackers. Now nap time for me then we babysit the babies tonight!

It will look great once it's done, I know we renovated this house for 3 months straight, I never thought it would be done! Then one day it was, now we have siding and insulation and a fence this summer and we are finished! I hope for a while! 8 days now till Italy then we see you guys!!!! I can't wait!
