I really want to boost Pat up and try to get him training now for our annual 4th of July Walk. We say annual because we are hoping to make it an annual event for our family. The course is about a mile (give or take a little) and in 2009 he was able to walk the entire course with no breaks. Our great friends the Moses family met us at the end for a mini celebration at McDonalds. The whole experience was a great ego booster for Pat and he was very excited to try again.
Fast forward to 2010 and the story is a little different. Pat decided to not start prepping for the walk until two weeks before the 4th and it was pretty quickly evident that he would not be able to complete the course without serious injury.
So for this year, we want to make it the best ever for him. I think he needs a confidence boost (and to start training for it now) and we want everyone to get this on their radar so that anyone who wants to can come walk with us or meet us at the finish line.
