It's only walking right?

48000 steps, 1 McDouble, 1 McChicken, 1 2 dollar KFC drumstick, 1 Costco hot dog, 4 liters of water, 1 liter of Powerade, 8.5 hours, and 18 miles later, my two willful friends and I sit at Good to Grill waiting for our final meal of the night.  We did it guys.  We did it.  To me, there was never any doubt we could do it.  It was a matter of completing the task.  Surely the walk around Diamond Head on the way to Koko Marina was a 2 mile detour.  Certainly, we all had thoughts of catching the 10th 22 bus that had passed us, back to the civilization of Kapahulu.  But why not; it's only walking right?  Without the comradery of my fellow walking friends I would have stopped after I got my half dollar sized blister on my left foot.   We had a goal in mind and with one step at a time we kept trotting along.  Because that's what it took.  One step at a time.  Just keep going.  It's only walking.  In the end, it was the lengthiest physical continuous goal I've ever tried.  We did it. We did it...  On to the next goal.
