Wow! This is a very inspiring post. I wish I could be as active as you. I don't think I've ever walked so much in life and in saying that, I'm not happy. Buying the shoes you will wear is a perfect way to tell the universe to get everything lined up for that date and you can go to the Ámsterdam next year. I hope you'll share with us all the training you'll be doing to get in shape. I'm going to see if I start walking on Monday, you've inspired me. Hugs, my friend
