As I said to a friend tonight…”I’m tired, I’ve been up since 5:00″. But, I can’t really complain. Shelley, too, has been up since 5:00 and has managed to walk about 33 km, in 30C temperatures, in this first leg of The Walk. And she doesn’t seem to be all that worse for wear! Sure she’s tired, but, so far, no blisters or cramps or anything like that. She did very well and I’m proud of her.
The kids and I were chasing after them trying to cheer them on at the Cheering Stations, but it was really hard to figure out when they would get there, so we waited a lot and the kids were actually VERY good about it. Joan, Sue and Zenya even showed up at th elast one of the day.
Tomorrow, they start again at 7:30 and walk anoth 27 km through the city and back to The Corral for the closing cerimonies at 4:00. It’ll be another long day!
I took quite a few pictures and I’ll get them online soon, but not likely until the weekend is over. I just have too much to do, helping out!
Go Shelley! We’re very proud of you!
