Had my all night training walk this week.  60 miles in 14:23:59.  Overall my feet got tired. The outside muscle of my calves were sore. My lower abs and lower back were sore.  Staying up all night was not a problem.  No blisters or hot spots.  For my Centurion attempt I will have to walk a little faster pace.  Walk almost nine hours longer.  All my thoughts of grandeur and fame are gone.  I will hold to my planned pace for the race.  Hope that the excitement of the race gives me a boost. I will also make a point to have a full taper week before race day.  I am still excited.  An excited realist now.  Walking 100 miles in 24 hours will not be easy.  I know I can do it.  All the soreness went away by Wednesday.
