That's awesome Patti - I'm glad that you were able to do the 39+miles. It really was so cool to be a part of such a wonderful event, and I hope to be cheering next year definitely! I might wait to walk for a few years though :)

Thank you so much for sharing your blog. Me and 4 of my friends are doing the walk this year and wondered what we were getting ourselves into. It was wonderful to read all about it and to get someones perspective on the walk. You have given us much needed information. thank you.

thanks lex
thanks so much for your insight! my team from western pennsylvania, team keep abreast, will be doing the walk this year, 2009. my sister and i just did a 1/2 marathon last weekend, so we are already preparing. we plan to do them throughtout the summer to keep motivated. one of the girls and i both have fbyromyalgia, one has 2 forms of arthritis, my sister has heart problems. so, we are all "handicappe" (lol) in one form or another, so we're not sure we can make the full jaunt the first day either. we are certainly going to keep training, and take all of your advice and kind words to heart. thanks so much, kim from team keep abreast in western PA.
