Mom Boot Camp Day 2...dressed in some smart shorts and with a CamelPak full of water, Holly once again woke up at 6:45 am to prove her readiness for the Avon 2-Day Walk scheduled for next week.Not everyone celebrates the 4th of July with a 10-mile trek, but we did! I dialed things up for the second day of walking, both in speed and difficulty. We set out for the fairly hilly section of Thousand Oaks/Westlake, including Westlake Blvd. from Erbes which is 1 full mile of incline, and not a gentle sloping incline either, it is the put your head down and power up it until you reach the top kind of hill.
Things were much warmer, faster and tougher than the trek at the beach (minus that pesky issue with the chafing shorts of course), but Holly powered through it just like a pro. I learned near the end that she was getting a blister (and it is a doozy too, let me tell you), but true to form, there was no complaining and plenty of good times for all.
The blister issue is perplexing, but we will have that resolved by next week. Stay tuned for a great weekend success story. Until then, enjoy the photo of a victorious Schnoogs at the top of the big hill and at about the 5-mile mark on our holiday walk.
