“nope. Mike has to watch the pup while I walk my legs off for a good cause :)”

“Okay,

We will see you guys for the Mammoth Cave trip then.”

“you COULD come to shades :D”

“Hey Spirit!
Is your walk this weekend?!

Good luck!

Word to the wise:

1) Drink Drink, Eat and Pee! You don't want a stinking IV! :-)

2) What I found out while walking my 60 is to try to walk at the pace you trained at. My teammates and I found that when we slowed our pace, we actually felt MORE tired than normal. Obviously, this will be weather dependent, but try to go at your normal training pace. Your feet will thank you for it.

3) Stop and rest if you need it. Find shade when you want it. If you're not hungry at the lunch stop, eat what you can and carry the leftovers-- you might feel up to eating a little further down the road. DON't skimp when it comes to re-fueling yourself with food and re-hydrating yourself with liquid!

4) Even though the electrolyte stuff they give you tastes nasty, drink it OR... pack your Gatorade (or whatever you normally drink). They say that you need to pee at every stop or you aren't properly hydrated...

5) Take lots of pictures! ;-)

6) Have fun, bring business cards or something to write down the names and addresses of the people you meet. YOu will meet many fantastic men and women. You will feel more loved than ever before in your life while on the walk. It is absolutely inspiring.

7) If you feel tired or frustrated, just remind yourself that each step closer to the finish line is 1 step closer to the cure for breast cancer. I had to remind myself during the heat and rain that breast cancer patients go through far more than we do during the walk!

8) A tip given to me by "Sue the Pink Power Panger lady" is this: stop at EVERY rest stop for about 5 minutes to massage the bottoms of your feet. She said that as you massage your arch, you'll feel "bubbles" of fluid "popping". If you massage at EVERY stop, your feet will feel good and will not get as many blisters-- If you don't, your feet will tend to cramp up and cause you foot pain as the muscles get tighter and your toes start to curl up...

9) Have fun. Eat well, Sleep well and I look forward to your TR after the walk!!! :-)”

“Thanks PINK! :)”

“I could, but I may not have a home to come back to.

I will see what I can do.”

“Oops, that was supposed to be "Sue the Pink Power RANGER lady"...”

“wk...take her to a nice dinner ;)


or, bring her and the kid along...its only 2.5 miles into camp. She can stay in camp and watch the kid and dogs! (JK...)”

“So, how was the three day breast cancer walk welcome video?”

“Hey Spirit!
How did things go?
I'll bet your feet are sore! :-)
Rest up!!! Did you make your minimum?
I was thinking about you this weekend-- my
brother drove home from Chicago... :-)”

“Just met a lady whose daughter did the walk. Chicago was lucky-- you didn't get anything nearly as hot as we did in Michigan! ;-) I'd love to hear how things went for you!”

“So Spirit...
Where's your TR? :-)”

“OldGranBoobs hide it”

“check out your shady trip thread...please?”

“Hey! Where are you?

Are you guys still planning on the Mammoth Cave trip? If so I need to give you some info regarding the drive down with Pitts.

E-mail me”

“I'm having SPIRIT COYOTE withdrawal.
Where the heck is that girl?”

“Maybe Mike has her locked up in the basement?”

“BUMP”

“She posted last night. Maybe you need to look at the fart joke threads? lol...”

“I should have known. I saw the thread this morning, but diidn't open it.”

“I just farted, you think NICOLE heard it?”

“She must have got caught playing on TT at work. ;-)”
