Another Good Training Hike

We walked nine miles with fully loaded packs today. It was sunny but a bit chilly, around 45F/7.3C. Today we drove down to the George Washington Parkway and parked near Reagen National Airport and walked to Alexandria. This was a much nicer walk than the other day, except we got some strange looks as we walked through Old Town. We felt good after five miles when we stopped for a bite to eat, but four miles later, we were bushed!! Other than being tired we are doing good. Tomorrow we go for ten!! Hard to believe we'll be walking 15 to 20 miles per day in a couple weeks.
