With the 3-Day just 10 weeks away, I'm starting to get a little anxious. Training is coming along nicely, and I can walk 15 miles with ease. If weather permits, I'm hopeful to try 20 miles this weekend. Went I signed up to participate in this walk back in the fall, I thought the miles were going to be my challenge, since I've got bad knees. Seems I might have missed something....
I've been in a desperate search to find a team to join. I had hoped to put one together from here, but most of my friends are not in a position to commit to a 3 day, 60 mile event. Seemed like no big deal.....there are many (and I do mean many) other teams participating. So I started sending out emails, looking for teams. Over the last 6 months, I have joined 2 different teams. Each of them dissolved within a month or 2 of my joining. At a different point of my life, I might have taken this personal. Not so much now. I suspect it's an issue with fundraising. It's not quite as easy to raise the funds this year, as it has been in the past. We're all broke, or stashing our monies in our pillow cases so that when the government moves forward to dry to bleed us dry, we've got some reserve.
I also wonder if I'm not getting a message from above. Is the Divine trying to tell me that this is a journey I need to go alone? I do my best thinking when I'm doing my training walks, and the last 2 training walks have offered life changing epiphanies.
With 10 weeks left, there is still time to find a team, but I think I won't work quite so hard at it. I'll continue on my journey and let Him show me the way.
