Update on the walk.
The good news it's a 50K. That's only 31-ish miles. I think I could do the 50K with some training. I did 25 miles in one day for the 3-Day. Time to train might be a challenge. When I was doing the 3-Day my Saturdays and Sundays were spent walking most of the day.
The bad news. Angel's friend Michel wants to do the 100K version. He likes a challenge. Yep, that's 62 miles. Yikes! I'm not very confident on 62 miles. He did assure me that we'd stay together and if one leaves we both leave. His exact quote to Angel "I'll take care of her ass—I'm very good like that". After walking 62 miles my ass should be smaller. It's the old part I'm concerned about. He's half my age. There is food, potties and a sweep van along the way. Terrain should be fairly flat. It follows a canal path. It begins at 3 am and goes to half-past midnight. It's sponsored by the Sierra Club and called the One Day Hike. The website describes it as "a challenging and fully supported annual event". They limit participation to 350 people. Registration opens February 1.
Yes I am crazy to think about it.

Just a quick note about the photograph. It was taken at Great Falls on the Potomac. It is an incredible sight. We were on the Virginia side, the hike gos on the maryland side. Both sides have places to view the falls. Photo taken in Washington's birthday in 2008.
thanks Dave!
