Day One 2007

So day one, again, started at 0 dark thirty.

We were more spread out this year. Mommy is social and didn't mind walking with strangers. She decided it should be a rule, at least one leg of the walk on your own so you interact with walkers around you - she's always coming up with things like that.

We got into camp early day one - brought some yoga mats and had a stretch and then took minute to let the blood out of our feet:


You can't believe how good that feels.

There was woman this year that told this story: She lost her best friend to cancer, which sucks. And then she decided to raise the money and walk in EVERY three day walk that next year. And she did (she had some wicked calves). She sent postcards to her friend's young sons every night from every camp. She was incredibly inspiring. For the next year she decided to increase her contribution and build a team that would raise 1/2 million dollars. So she recruited in every city, because her participation in every single walk wasn't enough! Those are the kinds of people that are out there every day.


We repeated the sushi dinner of last year and followed that with ICE CREAM and then we headed back to get some sleep. All in all day one 2007 might have been our best day yet!
