Today after work and a trip to costco, my mom, my sisters, and I went for a 4 mile "walk". I dont mean a casual stroll around town...I mean intense, arm pumping, sweat inducing, fast walking. My mom is doing the Portland to Coast Walking Relay again this year in august and is in the middle of training for it. I did the relay a few years ago, and let me tell you, there are some crazy people there. I didnt do any training at all before the relay because I figured, its fast walking...how hard could it be? Im young, I've got all the energy in the world...what a mistake. There were old ladies passing me on the course! There were people whose fast walking speed is my jogging speed! It was insane and I've never been so sore in my whole entire life. It was a really fun experience though. One day I'd like to do the Hood to Coast which is a bit farther and is a running relay rather than walking...we'll see about that.

This is me and my mom during the race. Our team was called "11 Hens and a Chick" because I was the youngest and the rest of the team was older. At this point, nothing hurt too badly and it was still fun

| This is afterwards...when everything hurt. Im actually pointing at the finish line and not the old lady who probably passed me on the course and decided to photo bomb my pictures just to rub it in my face hahaha |
