So what needs to happen before a walk and even take its first step? First, you have to have good supportive shoes and good strong legs and bones. At least that is my opinion. My skinny-boned legs are not made for distance walking, but Geoffrey's are like strong columns that carry him very far. Long-distance wakling is more about endurance than speed, but of course, for 2,400 miles, you have to set up a decent pace or you'll never get there! I believe Geoffrey plans to walk at (about) 3.8 mph....I'll let you know how that goes. But most days he plans to walk 25-30 miles starting in the cooler hours of the morning, and taking short breaks as needed. Of course, a big part of this trip means stopping in many places to present his memory programs and raising funds. This will influence the number of miles and hours per day.
