You have done plenty to get ready. But don't forget about what you should be doing after the big event! - Take a full day off from work if you can or alternatively take half a day if possible.
- Get a relaxing massage the very next day and be sure to tell the massage therapist that you did the walk so they will not go too deeply into your muscles.
- Keep drinking plenty of fluids to hydrate your system. It will take your body a while to get back to normal.
- Remember to stretch each day and if you can take a yoga class once a week too.
- Get some light exercise. For example walk a few miles, ride your bike or go rollerblading.
- Eat plenty of healthy foods like fresh fruits, vegetables and fish.
- Spend some time alone reflecting on your experience and write in your journal if you keep one.
- Stay in touch with your new walking friend(s) and plan a photo sharing party right away.
- Take some time to share your experience with loved ones at a special lunch or dinner if possible.
- Buy or do something nice for yourself as a reward for all of your hard work and dedication; for example get a pedicure, go to a day spa or buy a new outfit.
