What a good training weekend. On Saturday we had a large group walking from Bayfront Park out to Longboat Key. We covered 12 miles....our longest route yet. It was a good endurance test, lots of sun and humidity. John Price (Melissa's hubby) was our crew for the pit stop at Ken Thompson park. We have become very spoiled by the comfort of food and cold beverages along the route. We passed John's spot twice during our walk and we "refueled" each time!

On Sunday we had a "short" 7 mile walk, this time going south from Bayfront Park to Paradise Plaza - Kim crewed today and again, we enjoyed lots of cold beverages, fruit and wonderful fresh bagels. I wish I'd eaten a little more, just remembering them makes me hungry!

Thanks to John and Kim for making our training walks so much nicer.

Like the actual 3 day walk, we really can't do it without the support of crew. Can't say THANK YOU often enough!
