Thanks to everyone for your support!!! I could not have done this without you!! The Phoenix 3-Day had 2,200 walkers (a lot of them being Breast Cancer survivors) and we raised over $5.1 million. It was pretty amazing. It was also cool because all along the route there were people cheering you on, passing out water, popcicles, gum, ice cubes, anything really to keep you going. It was really cool to see the community come together to support everyone. It was definitely an amazing experience!!!
The first day was rough but I was well rested so I made it but feeling sore. The 2nd day was almost unbearable. The tempurate dropped really low Friday night and all we had were sleeping bags and thin tents. We all froze and got maybe 4 hours of sleep. We got up on Saturday and walked 21 miles - we had an almost record high for November of 96 degrees!!!! The last 5 miles I really didn't think I could finish but luckily my teammates pushed me through it. They would not let me get on a sweep van - and I am so glad they didn't because I would have been really upset making it that far and not finishing. Sunday, the last day, my body was pretty much numb so the last 16 miles didn't even phase me!! Jeremy met me at the finish line with a much appreciated massage gift certificate!!
