The morning started off a bit rocky. We got up bit later than usual. Then Nora had gunk in her right eye and we were getting worried about a blocked tear duct causing an infection. So we called the doctor's office and talked to a nurse. Luckily, the nurse and doctor seemed to think she was fine and they would see her at her 9 month appointment soon. Once that was out of the way, we got packed up and in the car. We were running a bit later than I wanted so I was a little antsy.
Sure enough, we got there with plenty of time. They had free bagels, powder donuts, and water before the walk for people to enjoy. Then the walk started. There were so many people - really cool. We walked from the Monona Terrace, around the Capitol, down State Street, through Library Mall. Then you could turn around if you wanted to walk 2 miles. Or, you could continue down the Lake Shore Path, turn to walk up Observatory Drive, and work your way back to State Street, finishing where we started, doubling your distance.
I was a beautiful morning and a nice comfortable walking pace so we decided to go for the full 4 miles! We made it! Nora fell asleep in her stroller for the first half and then enjoyed the sites and sounds of downtown Madison for the second half of the walk. We had so much fun!
I definitely want to continue participating in the March For Babies walk in the coming years. I may even start a 3500challenge.blogspot.com TEAM!
Hope you all have a fantastic rest of the day. I already got my 3500 calories in during the week so I don't need to count my calories burned again till Monday!
Did you participate in the March For Babies too? Did you do something else to get some exercise - what did you do?
