Okay, so, I did this and I never need to do it again. It was fun and awesome and very, very tiring. My blisters are unbelievable. But I did it.

I spent last night half asleep (or sometimes all the way asleep) in Wendie's van, and around 4:30 am the other ladies woke me up to walk my second leg. I walked five miles through some of the most beautiful forested terrain, and it was cool and green and fresh - a far cry from yesterday, when I almost threw up after fast-walking through town in 80+ degree temperatures - probably closer to 90. It was gross.

When we reached Seaside, we stopped at the local pool and napped, then tried to fix ourselves up for the party at the beach. The beach was full of music, people and freebies - my favorite is the big black cowbell from Dick's Sporting Goods.

Now I'm home from the beach and sore as heck. Go figure, huh?
