    @hotman637 Podcasts are fun because it's like getting to listen to friends! For me, listening to people banter back and forth made the whole thing less lonely.

    @souledout4him Yay! You're awesome! It's super mentally tough. There were many times I almost gave up. So, so many times. Mostly out of boredom. I used Instagram to keep me going! I don't have many followers (just people from school) but it was fun to update my story once in a while. People...

    @fromnorway I lucked out on the weather front! Sunny but not warm. I'm over in North Western Washington. I am a runner and typically run seven miles every morning. I also do a lot of weight training. I walked all day but did take breaks lots. My feet feel surprisingly well! My big toes feel...

    @flajerz Endless places to explore! I live near the old Northern State Mental Hospital and the trails around there are gorgeous. I like that you can go into some of the old buildings still.

    @dawn16 I live in a super small town so I feel you with the not much to walk to thing. I went to different gas stations a lot. We're lucky to have wide and vast sidewalks. We also have a ton of walking trails that are easy to get to. I'm in North Western Washington.

    @wifenotslave New Balance Nergize. I run seven miles every morning and will never use another shoe. These bad boys are amazing. I just keep replacing them with a new color every 500 miles or so.

    @takkula Thank you for this! Next time I try something like this, I'm going to do more foot prep just in case. I lucked out this time, but I am not going to chance it again.

    @takkula I couldn't imagine going through with blisters. That's amazing. Do you know why you got blisters one time but not the other? Was there anything you did differently? Last night I was saying I would never, ever do this type of thing again, but now I'm seeing that I was just shy of 50...

    @takkula Wow! I had no idea there were charity walks of this sort. I will definitely be looking into them. You are amazing for getting to 77km. with blisters! I lucked out and my feet didn't fare too poorly.

    @polarrys My sleep is terrible but I generally try to shoot for an 8:30pm bedtime because my first workout of the day is 4:45-6am. But, I did take a long nap before bed Sunday so I think that's what pushed me through my Monday walking adventure.

    @mohanmallik I’m super worried about the lack of sleep thing. I’ve tried to get rest today and will be going to bed early tonight so hopefully that will help recovery. I’m feeling good so far.

    @mustangsvo Right?! I stayed as flat as possible, mostly walking around town on flat sidewalks. Some of the trails I did had a little uphill, as does my neighborhood. I noticed it quite a bit when there was any incline or decline and my body was not happy with it so I stayed flat where I...
