The 3-Day is stressing me out.
Anytime you take on an event like this, it’s a big deal. Walking 60 miles, camping, the fundraising…who wouldn’t get stressed? I’ve been taking it all in stride though, because I’ve done this before. I didn’t think I was worried…until I had a crazy nightmare this weekend about showing up at the 3-Day without any money, and without bringing any clothes to wear.
I guess that proves that my biggest fear is being unprepared for the walk. I definitely haven’t trained as much (read: not at all) this year, and I won’t have the people I walked with last year with me, so it’s a whole new group to break in, so to speak. I need to hit the ground running, literally, and figure out if Kim (my tent mate) and I walk at the same pace, and if not, who does walk at the same speed?
Showing up without money and clothing may be the least of my worries.

I hear ya, I don’t know that I’ll be doing this again next year. Danon and I had fun last year. We didn’t run but we didn’t crawl either. We had fun, took in the sights, etc. We weren’t the first ones back at camp but not the last either. Usually back between 3:30/4:30 depending on which day it was. Walking alone SUCKS big time. We each did it for a little over an hour (she had a cramp to work out and my knee was killing me) and that hour seriously SUCKED!
