Hi all. Just posted this in the table 12 check-in. Will do more later.
I'm B-A-A-A-A-A-C-K!!!!!!!!!! Missed you all bunches!!! Have lots of checking in to do and see what's been happening on the forums the last few days. Thanks for the kind thoughts, good vibes, and positive energy!
Made it the whole way, one TEEEEENY TINY blister (the folks in medical were amazed!) Out of 1140 walkers my 2 training buds and I were in the top 15 every day. Sore ankles - arthritis knee is a bit tight and needs some more ice - but I don't think I'll tackle IMAX2 tomorrow - HA!
Good walking weather 1st 2 days - rains came overnight last night (hey hitting a portapotty at 2:30 a.m. in the pouring rain was a new experience for me.) The whole walk today was in an absolute DOWNPOUR at 58 degrees. Cold, wet, rainy, raw, but we made it - every step. They did however CANCEL closing ceremonies - so it was rather anticlimatic. We all walked into the holding area where you are supposed to walk the last mile together. Nope - they had us keep walking - then go into a hotel (really NICE of the Marriot to let us use one of their banquet rooms) announced that we'd raised 2.8 million dollars. "Thanks for coming, please go get your stuff and have a nice drive home." No tears, no hugs (we were all way too wet and freezing cold), a few high 5's and then we were on our way.
I have to go do some laundry and welcome home my monsters - will share more and check in (for real) with you all when I get caught up. Miss you guys! <<<hugs>>>
