Good Day, Sunshine!

On Saturday 32 terrific walkers started our day with the Feldenkrais clinic - hula everyone! For the Avon Walkers this walk was a great route teaser for your event as we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, walked thru Sausalito to Mollie Stones and back via Ft Baker under the bridge. Thankfully it was far less hot than the day before but the sun was out, as were the shirtless male bikers and runners. Even on a very sunny/warm day crossing back over the the bridge was freezing cold and crazy windy. Terrific effort everyone.

What a difference a day makes; our old friends cold, fog and wind greeted us in the morning at the Warming Hut. Sunday we had 19 walkers who went on a bit of a "nature/trail walk." We took a "new-to-us trail" down to Baker Beach to find open bathrooms, then went on to theLand's End Trail - even in the wind and fog the views on the trail are breathtaking. Even though 60,000 people were a mere mile away at the Bay to Breakers where we walked it was very quiet in the city. I wonder if that man connected with his girlfriend who was, "gonna kill me if I don't pick her up!"

Now is when we really start to build mileage and stamina so be sure you are taking good care of yourself - rest, stretch, hydrate, eat well after you train to avoid injury and burnout. We still have 154 training miles planned in the next seven weeks before the Avon Walk event weekend.

We want to make sure you get one big 20+ mile day in before your event! It is exactly one month before the SF walk so the timing will be great. We will walk the 12 mile loop, break for lunch (pack sack lunches) and then we’ll start out on the 10 mile loop at approx. 1:00pm.
