Sept. 10
I did 4 miles in 60 minutes (15 min/mile). I have my really big walk/run coming up this Saturday...20 miles...I can hardly believe it! But this time I'm mentally prepared for it...I'm also prepared to be wiped out for the day!
Sara and I are off on another adventure, this time to help the refugees (mostly from war-torn Syria) as they arrive on the Island of Lesvos, Greece. I'm happy to share our experiences with you and to lessen the nearly 6,000 miles that will separate us during this trip. Also, my hope is that this blog will bring you closer to this part of the world, to provide insight into what's going on here, and to give you a glimpse into the local Greek culture.
