Gear shake down and training walk. San Antonio, Texas.

Nice little trek with the new Columbia  pants and ex-officio undies.  No problems in that regard.  I had a combination of three miles on pavement (not thrilled about this) and three miles of nature trails in Eisenhower park by Camp Bullis.  Temperature was about 60F so it was pleasant.  I am trying to mimic what El Camino is like so this would be about half a day's walk on a light day and about a third on a long day.  The trick is to be able to do this on day after day.  Yikes!!!  Still, short of illness nothing can keep me from doing it.  Can't wait.  Also, it looks like I am able to complete three miles per hour at a comfortable pace.  Today I walked two hours.  Feeling great.  Still using my running shoes but I am very close to buying my new set of shoes.  I'll post a picture as soon as I get them.
