We started, just like last year. Then we came to this sign near a bridge. A year ago, I pushed myself harder than I should have to make it to this point. I was exhausted, out of breath, in pain and had only gone about 3/4 mile. To top it off, we have to walk the same distance we came to get back to the car. I was so frustrated.
Now spring forward 1 year, we came to this sign again and I was thinking "That was easy". I was so excited/ proud of myself and the progress that I had made. No one but me knew the significance of this spot. When I told them all, we were all high fiving.

Then guess what we did - we kept going forward. We walked about another 1/2 mile and stopped for a picnic lunch. Then we kept going. We went all the way to mile marker 4 (we started a little after mile marker 1). I had to have a picture showing my progress. I was so excited to have made it that far.

At this point, Jon (my biggest cheerleader) said that he wanted me to show how strong I was. He took this picture. At that point we started back. Honestly it was pretty easy getting to mile marker 4 - it was much harder coming back. But I did it. At times, I had to have them all slow down, or stop to take a break. But we made it back to the van. We walked 5 + miles today!
