Pictures from The 3 Day

The sign I found in my front yard early Friday morning!
Thanks Sue - it definitely encouraged me!


My number one supporter! He put up with less than
stellar housekeeping and a wife crazed with raising money
and training walks. I could not have done it without him!


A rainbow in the sky during opening ceremonies -
what more did we need?

The sign letting us know how bad Friday's
conditions really were. No kidding.
The Popsicle Princess on Day One. All in pink
and sampling the goodies to make sure they
were safe for us!
Before walking on Day 2. From left to right:
Jennifer, Whitney (Princess Giggles), me, Amy, Pat

Tom, the man who fixed my feet, and never
for a single moment gave voice to the thought
that I couldn't finish that day's walking.
Whitney showing off her incredibly expensive
and medically-trained method of blister control:
duct tape.

Hangin' around camp Saturday night - Amy, Jennifer, Whitney.
More of the same: Dawn, CW, me!
Pat - standing tall, looking good!
Pat - not so good! This is road rash at it's best!
Camp at sunset. Pink tents as far as you could see!

Our team picture with a few missing after we were finished on Day 3.
Have you ever seen such strong, gorgeous women?

The worst of the blisters. In a few weeks it'll only
be an annoying sidenote to the walk. I call it Maggie.
One of the Safety Crew. If you look closely, you'll see
that his helmet is a boob with a nipple on top! LOVE IT!
In any other situation, I'd think he was a complete cad,
but here it was appropriate and uplifting!
Cheerleaders (and then some!) along the route!
These ladies were everywhere!
A billboard we walked by on Day 2.
A boat that followed walkers from bridge to bridge as we passed
through St. Johns Pass and Treasure Island.
Aside from the Popsicle Princess, this girl was my
favorite supporter. Seeing her with her sign,
tocking off the miles was a huge, huge incentive!


Please know that many of the pictures without my friends are not mine, but taken from an online picture gallery here.
