Jay -- May 11, 2019

We've now walked 5 days straight, total of 75+ miles since my "list" corretive actions in Rochester.  No evidence of the "list" has been observed: either posture or discomfort.  Our total mileage since leaving Newport RI exceeds 520 miles.   That is important to me because while working with my fitness  "guru"
Josh M (for several months) prior to starting this adventure I advised him I had/have 3 objectives to which he was/is a contributer:   to become fit enough to  1)  initiate a 3200 mile walk;  2)  complete a 3200 mile walk; and  3)  live to reach 120 years with fitness.   I think our 500+ miles walked is evidence that Josh M and I have achieved objective 1) -- fit enough to initiate a 3200 mile walk.  We're now working toward objective 2).  While it remains to be seen, early indications are that it is realizeable.  Less I be remiss in giving credit where it is due,  I also engaged in yin yoga as part of the preparation -- that under tutelage of Deana O.  This training has also been a major contributer to the measure of success I've experienced.  THANK YOU, Josh and Deana
