Oh no, sometimes not being the lead dog makes one try harder because as they say, if you aren't in the lead the view never changes. I would never want anyone to hang back. Actually I found that taking the short cut, the view did change so we're good.
Really appreciate the kudos though!

Kelly, I think you did really well. Kudos - I know you were trying to keep up but regardless, you made it happen. Your son is right. Your confidence level suffered and there is no need for that. You came, you walked and you're better off for it! I'm proud of every step you made. lol
I feel badly that I didn't hang with you. When we meet again, you have my permission to just kick me! lol

I was upset with myself because I thought I hadn't done the full trip but looking at the pedometer I had over 3200 steps from kickoff to finish. (not including to/from the parking lot) I'm not sure is that 1.5 miles? I hope so. Didn't want to get to far from the finish so made a couple of laps around the ampitheater and part of the interior walkway. Talking with my son, he told me that I had minor lapse in confidence.
To my amazement, knees don't hurt today and really didn't bother me yesterday after I iced them down when I got home. Actually walked over to a neighbors that added over .5 mile last night.

I'm sorry about your friend, Don. You were definitely where you needed to be.
We had a great time as well and was glad to meet everyone. Camille, Teddy told me, "We need to make sure the house is clean because I want to invite Miss Camille over." I think you've made a friend for life! :)
I think that for the next walk, we're either going to have have a stroller for Pete, or let him and Daddy play somewhere near the beginning of our walking place. He definitely makes it harder to keep walking in the same direction as anyone else with some amount of speed! :)

That area looks good for meeting. How many are planning to go from our team?
I would say the best place to meet would be in the Tennessee map plaza area.There a huge map of all the counties there you can’t miss it. There also picnic tables in that area

Be a part of making Nashville a healthier place to live! Join Mayor Karl Dean and Walk 100 Miles of Local Parks & Greenways This Spring and Summer!
Do it on your own or join in their SCHEDULED WALKS: Check their website (below) for the complete Schedule of Events & sign up for calendar reminders.
The project is a series of 28 walks, ranging from two to 10 miles in length, throughout Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County parks and greenways, as well as State of Tennessee-owned properties Bicentennial Mall Park and Radnor Lake. Dean has challenged Nashvillians to walk 100 miles over a three-month period; walking on their own or in groups or joining the mayor in any of the weekend and weekday events.
For those who meet the 100-mile goal, they will be invited to a celebration in downtown Nashville on Saturday, July 9!!!
Here's a link to the sign-up: www.walk100miles.com/ This site serves as your online walking log and passport to the city's great parks and greenways so you can track your progress and find the best places to walk in Nashville. You can even join Mayor Dean on community walks throughout the program.
The Next Walk = April 2nd at 11:00:00 AM at Downtown to Bicentennial Mall
