ressting my feet and sunchips

So finally made it!

And, there are a few things in life that makes everything better: Original Sun Chips. Ok wait... Back to the Avon Walk.

Been good so far. Its easily mentally, which helps w/the physical pain.

Socks got pretty wet, so I'll be changing those soon.

Again, I feel so fortunate so have the ability to be in this pain knowing how fortunate I really am.

Good group of girls, so that helps too. We're on a mission to get to that 13.1!!!!!

All the cheer stations are so awesome too. They're so supportive and the smiles are endles.

Also, there are a few things today that could really irritate me: humidity. Its been brought, and with a vengence!!!!! Argh!

Ciao for now. Follow my tweets: @prnewman

Peace from mile 10

mile 9-ish

Ok all... Pain is left knee, right foot. But we're going strong. Walking with Reba and Dena. Lunch is at mile 10. Getting closer...like I just tweeted, i feel blessed to have the ability to walk.

Thanks for reading, more at lunch.

walking it out

Well, been walking for 2 hours, around mile 5, feeling mostly good. Tamara spoke really well this morning, and we had a great turnout from the team. Special guest was winner, Michale V from season 9 of the Biggest Loser. He looks great! We started the walk and I'm doing my thing and I look to my right... And I LITERALLY almost walked into him! I introduced myself, took a pic, and walked of.

Its humid, cloudy, but I'm having fun. I've also prepared for every natural disaster and stored it in my fanny pack...

Hehe ;)

Oooh hitting mile 5!!!

Ciao for now
