“Walk Until Your Feet Bleed…Then Keep Walking”

I saw a man on the news the other day– he had walked across the country.  It took him a year.  How awesome would something like that be?? And he did it all for ALS (AKA Lou Gehrig’s disease).  I want to accomplish something like this.

I went for a 8 or 9 mile walk the other day and that felt long– (Though I was walking really fast  and jogged– I bet I wouldn’t walk that fast if I was doing 3000 miles…)  Anyone want to do that with me?? (I think I could do it in less time than a year, but maybe I’m being naive)

Anyway, walking across the United States is on my bucket list.

Oh and my foot was pretty bloody after my jog yesterday, it was only 2 miles but it makes my blog title relevant.

 

Addition: I wanted to add to this post something that I realized most people wouldn’t know and why this man walking across the country for ALS is a dear subject to me.  I have a cousin with ALS whom I love dearly.  I don’t get to see her nearly as often as I would like but she’s so strong and so loving.  She makes me smile and laugh, but it pains me to see her to go through what she is with this disease.  So this post is for her and her family.  I admire this man and this cause.
