Day 1

Here are some notes I took after day 1.

We started out early at 3:45am, we loaded the van and drove the hour to opening ceremony. It was very crowded and extremely emotional. At 7:00am I turned on my heart monitor and we began our 60 mile journey. The walk started out slow but we got moving after the first pit stop. We couldn't get there fast enough 4 out of 6 of us were about to pee our pants. We drank so much water that our first agenda at every stop was the pretty blue port-o-pottys. Lunch came and we all took our shoes off. It felt pretty good! We reapplied tape, mole skin, body glide, powder and new socks and then we were back walking in no time.

Our entertainment was Karaoke.. why did some people go up on stage???? We headed to bed around 9.

After walking 21 miles I feel pretty good. All 6 of us made it and were in good shape. Tomorrow will be long but I'm sure we'll have fun!
