Go Team!!
"Breast In Show"!
We did it! We managed to walk every step of the 39.3 miles of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It was an amazing 2 days but I couldn't have done it with out the support of 3 amazing women and hundreds of other walkers and crew members who made it not only bearable but fun.
I can't forgot those who made us smile no matter how hot, hurting and tired we were - Dudes For Boobs, Hookers for Hooters, Wonder Boobs, Team Moto and many more!
The first day was definitely the hardest - 26 miles, about 11 hours of walking. To keep my mind off my aching feet I focused on the amazing scenery. They took us through some of San Francisco's best vistas. Our route took us through the Presidio, over the Golden Gate Bridge, through Marin and Sausalito, along the Bay, then back over the Bridge to our over-night location, right under the Golden Gate in Crissy Fields.
We were pampered with massages, entertainment, and yoga. Then off to bed in our tents.
The next morning we headed out for our final 13 miles to Golden Gate Park. The highlight of the day, getting to use a REAL bathroom with running water, and a nice Freddo from Pete's. Thanks Sara! Happy Birthday to ME! We arrived at Golden Gate to throngs of cheering families and supporters. Though our bodies were aching and our feet were sore we were flying high know that what we did made a difference. Would I do it again...? If I were Helen, I would say I've already signed up, but I can only say I'm definitely considering it.
