22 Miles of Tweets

The 22 miles yesterday was a LOT better than the 20 miles last week. I am worried about my hip problem since there is no jogging allowed during the Avon Walk. I'm crossing my fingers and praying that another visit to the chiropractor will fix me up. Rather than type out a huge long message like last week, here are all my recent tweets that have to do with my walk yesterday. [If you don't know about Twitter... oh, wait. Oprah signed up for Twitter so now everyone knows about it, right? Well, if not, learn about it here.]

Am not looking forward to walking 22 miles today. It is hard to get motivated to get ready.

Mile 3.7. I just bought some Starburst and M&Ms to reward myself with throughout the walk. Very excited!

Mile 5.5 means I'm 1/4th done! My left hip is bothering me, I'm trying not to worry about it. Time for some M&Ms!

Just past 8.3 and stopping to stretch. My hip is really bothering me now. Jogged for a while 'cause it doesn't hurt then.

I might be the first person ever to JOG when the pain of WALKING gets to be too much, instead of the other way around. Almost to 11 miles!

13 miles! My hip is killing me and I'm jogging about half the time. Changed my socks. Listening to Mary J. Blige, aw yeah!

Mile 14. Stopped at 7-11. Wanted a slurpee. Got a gatorade and a banana instead.

16 miles down, 6 to go. Feeling good considering but could use a cheerleader... Please DM me or send an encouraging text to 571 225 4326 Thx

If I think too much about the reason I'm doing the Avon Walk and walking all these miles, I start to cry.

Back from 22 miles! Shoes off--no blisters!!,--beer poured, Chinese food ordered. Sooo happy to be done! Jason walked last 3.5 miles w/ me!

I had Jason run to meet me and then walk back with me the last 3.5 miles of my 22 miles today. It wore him out so much he's already in bed!

Hobbling around today. I'm sore after my 22 miles yesterday! Can't figure out how to stream Netflix through the TV. Cranky.

I should be walking 10 miles right now, but feel like taking a nap instead.
