And this is what I wrote on my blog immediately after the walk...
As of today, my body and I are very good friends! Yesterday I went on an 18 mile walk with my training group, and today we went out for 15 more miles of punishment, on those hills no less! Although I was afraid my body might not be capable of accomplishing such a feat, it hung in there and carried me everywhere I insisted it go. There was complaining, to be sure. My feet whined almost constantly the entire second day, my hips growled quite a bit at the end, and a couple of times my toes hollered, but I made it through, and I will never say another nasty thing about my body again. I am truly thankful for the body God gave me.
This weekend was hard hard work, but I feel much more at peace about the 60 mile walk ahead of me in less than a month. I know I can do it now. So, no more worrying about that, now I can look forward to that weekend.
I LOVE MY BODY!

Jennifer, that is amazing! YOU are amazing. That is soooo far to walk.
And I'm so glad to hear you say that you love your body... not very many people can say that. When you do accomplishment something that you've never done before,(physically speaking)you can't help but be grateful for your own health, and endurace.
Way to go Jen. I'm really proud of you!
