6 (0) km of Madness

One painful hernia, one surgeon's advice, many well-meaning friends and good, common sense changed the dream of walking 60 (sixty) km to 6 (six) km!

The Good Friday Walk will go on and WILL cover 60 km or more! This will happen by having many friends walking together and adding up the mileage to make up the 60 km!!!

I know it sounds like "cheating" ... but one must have faith that hernias happen for a reason! God is good. I must admit that although I sighed as my dream of doing such a "superwoman" feat fizzled out, I experienced a sense of relief! I had managed to walk just 24 km during training and it was tough! I was trying to imagine going the full distance ...

So, those wanting to cheer me on my 6 km Walk of Madness, please note the absence of that magic 0 (zero)! However, if you are all set to walk anyway, do come!
