…yes we did! two days. thirty miles. the logo on the back of this year’s shirt is very cool. it reads “did the 2”. I didn’t catch that pink “i” the first time I read it and I love that it’s so subtle. this event is certainly a group effort. the staff and the volunteers work so hard to make it “easy” to walk those 30 miles. but when it comes down to it, walking 30 miles in 2 days is really personal.
I am so proud of myself and my sister karen for doing it again. her 6th walk and my 5th. I think the walks get easier, but we get older…it sort of balances out?! (although I’ll bet karen would say the walk itself was a lot easier when she was six years younger – I told a few people this year that she is now the age I was when I did my first walk…and I think she’s a bit more sympathetic to my complaints about how much it hurts!)
here are a few of my favorite photos from the weekend – you get a good taste of what we saw, how hard we walked, and how much fun we had.

very proud of you both! was thinking of you this weekend.
WOW. Did you both walk through the night, or was it a day-time event only?
