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

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!!!
