Goal Accomplished!

Saturday was the first in person Albuquerque Walk MS event since 2019. I attended with my intent being actually doing the WALK, not pooping out fast, not coming anywhere close to finishing the 3 mile route, not even the 1 mile route.

2022, I again wanted to do the 3 mile'r, but when I reached the literal fork in the route and asked how many Port-O-Potties were along the trail. In 2019 I think there were 3.

This time around?

ONE!

That sent me down the 1 mile route, beginning to wonder if I could go even THAT far without an urgent need for a port-o-potty or a really big bush

But, dang it! I'd worn my pumpkin shirt (what I call the MS T-shirt I'd gotten in 2019 for participating) and a wicked pair of compression hose! I was going to do a Walk during this event!

I finished the 1 mile walk, returning to the starting point!

Congrats! I couldn't do that now, a couple of years ago maybe as I used to walk a lot but now I don't since I've had covid. It zapped all my energy & strength.

I'm so sorry you have experienced COVID 19. I got a little taste of that, myself, and am surprised I was able to do the walk. I had'd had COVID 19, but at the beginning of February I had finally caved and got the Moderna "booster", slept for two days straight. When I woke up just didn't have the energy to do anything. Only beginning this month, I forced myself out.

Glad you decided to get out & move. It can be just mind over matter... If you don't mind (all the hard work) it don't matter!

Congrats! 🤩🤩

The walk here in the Charleston, South Carolina area is this coming Saturday and I plan on doing the 3 mile route. Hopefully there are more porta potties than just one.🤔
