One of the first posts I did on this blog was about David running the Portland Marathon for a fund raiser for disabilities ministries. Well us girls talked about walking it this year and I guess that is a go at this point!
Two weeks ago we went on our first walk together and have been training since.
Yesterday three of us tackled a 10 miler!! We walked the first 5 miles in 1:09 and the second 5 miles in 1:11 for a total of 10 miles in 2:20!!! Pretty good for beginners. We did do a little jogging to loosen up the muscles and change up the pace.
So the reason for the title would be--I am very slow moving this morning!! Not sore muscles, but my back is out!! I felt it about 10 minutes after we stopped walking yesterday. I was prepared for sore legs, a swollen knee or even another black toenail, but not my back.
Then David asked me this morning if I was 10 years older than both the ladies I walked with yesterday? Yes!! And what is your point??
I guess a mom with daughters this age should feel their age just a little?!?

Oh, but you're a spring chicken at heart! :)
Somehow, with 6 adult children, I can't pretend to be "young" anymore either ... but I try. I just tell people that all of my kids is what keeps me young.
Hope the back gets to feeling better soon.
