James has done something that most have only dreamed of doing he walked here from Waukesha. Now this is a total of 26 miles of up and down hills. He tried doing something like this after his divorce and did not make it the whole way this time was different though. He started from his residence in Waukesha and ended at Parkers Place in Oconomowoc. He spent that night in Naga-Waukee Park under the lights. It was a very cold night and he ended up waking up at 4am. Some of the other challengers met him at the park or at Pabst Farms in Oconomowoc for his final journey of 7 miles. The pace that was set, if he were to go for the whole way without stopping would have taken him 10 hours. His first day he walked 17 miles and the final 7 miles the next day.
When I asked James how he felt he said, “ Excellent but I have sore toes and I need a bath”. Today before he goes home he will be playing in a kick ball game and then weighing in back at Parkers Place. Good Job James! Keep up the good work.
