I'm leaving in the afternoon for this today.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I'm using a computer in the break area to post... I've walked about 4.5 miles already

ok, bye

Oh man, I'm so sore.... I have pics but I haven't uploaded them yet, evadman. They're not too great because my gf was taking them

I walked for 11 hours at the track and if you include the walk to and from the track from my dormroom it's 12 hours, I hope that's close enough for you...

I walked 26.2 miles in 11 hours and then took a break and took a break on my back. I figured completing the distance of a marathon was reason for a break. While I was on the ground I got so tight and sore that I knew I wasn't going to be able to walk anymore, so my gf and I headed back. On a bright note for you Evadman, it was in the 30s outside and I was wearing shorts and a thin t-shirt. Sooo cold and sore.

Ok, I'm going to go eat now because I burned about eleventy billion calories last night.

I'm in for $40 to bring you up to an "even" $300. GG, yoyo, cancer took my mother a few months ago and we need to beat this fvcking disease.

<-- woulda donated earlier but didn't see this thread before

Thanks so much SearchMaster!

I think our whole relay event raised over $100,000 so far

EDIT: here's some pics

That site only records money donated online. The others probably rasied some money from people in the form of cash and checks.

Acutally one of the people on my team had their uncle donate $2300 :Q

Not nearly enough blisters for my taste Good job. 26.2 miles is great! I walk almost every year for March of Dimes, but my best was only 20 miles. Kudos to you

Sorry I only got 3 blisters. This is definately the longest I've ever walked at one time.

Thanks again.
