I walked 20 miles for hunger today with the MDA(Mass. Dietetic Association) Team but more specifically with my wonderful sister Sarah!
I packed up trail mix for us to nibble on during the day this morning: pretzels, dried cranberries, raisins and almonds. Before I left for the walk I had a small cup of coffee with soy milk and a banana.
Then, Dave dropped me off at Sarah’s apartment downtown and we walked down to the Boston Common.
We walked across starting line at 8:20AM and started our 20 mile adventure.
Our route took us through Boston, Brookline, Newton, Watertown, and Cambridge. I think this walk is a really nice way to see Boston and the surrounding towns. Today, was my 4th walk! 
Along the way Sarah and I sent pictures to our mom to keep her updated on our progressing including this one from mile 3 
The Chestnut Hill Reservoir was mile 6- look at that blue water!
At Mile 10- we stopped for some band- aids for Sarah’s blisters 
And were SO excited to see Mile Marker 12 around 12:00pm – only 8 to go!!
Mile 16: near the Harvard Boathouses- look at that view 
Mile 18: Our feet were tired and we were ready to be DONE(note: Sarah’s face)- the wind of the Mass Ave. bridge did not help!
At Mile 19: Mark Wahlberg(Marky Mark) drove by in a Bentley! It got us jazzed to get ‘er done- so we ran to the finish line!
We did it!
Dave then surprised me with a ride home on Beacon St. and we took a quick trip to Whole Foods . I grabbed a small soy milk that really hit the spot!
And next was nachos at home with pulled pork from last night’s dinner and Cabot which REALLY hit the spot!
After a nice hot shower, an unscheduled nap (I must have been tired), and some work on the computer- I started dinner: Oat & Flax pizza. My half had roasted sweet potatoes and arugula pesto with parmesan cheese- while Dave’s had leftover pulled pork and Cabot cheddar.
In the end, I decided to have one piece of each over a bed of greens!
I’m off to bed –I’ve got an early morning at the gym tomorrow!
