Out of Saguaro

I only walked 15.98 miles in the last 7 days.  I had to take a break for the first 5 days due to blisters on my feet.  So, I took a break with my sleeping tiger friend with a leisurely stroll through the San Diego Zoo. 

And sometimes you have to rest, just like the Okapi does, standing up.

But, eventually, I got back to walking again.  I've walked over 10 miles in the last 2 days, one walk from University Heights to downtown San Diego to the pier where they had a sand carving contest. 





And another walk around Old Town today. 

All in all, I'm getting to see a lot of my home town of San Diego from a walker's perspective.

So, on the virtual trip from San Diego to Washington D.C., that brings me to a point East of Tucson in the high desert.

Someone asked me how far I have walked in the last 107 days.  Well, that would be 498.36 miles, which sounds like a lot, but considering that the whole journey is 3,073 miles, I'm 16% of the way to my ultimate goal.  Since I've had to take some rest days, my daily walking average has slipped below 5 miles, but I hope to get that average up again with more 7-mile days now and then.  I'm stronger than I used to be, so I'm hopeful.
