I'm off to do my 10 mile walk now!*Update! I am back!*

[Beanie]

Wish me luck!! LOL I am leaving now to register at 9:30..it's 85 degrees outside, got my water and I am determined to finish it! I haven't done one since high school, so I am not in the best of shape now, but I will let you know how it goes later on tonight! :):)

Have a great day everyone!! :):)

[ohMom]

I don't think I heard you right, 10 miles ??? you go girl! that is one long walk! You are an inspiration!

[Beanie]

I am back and I am sooooo happy to say that

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

LOL! I knew I would, but I must say that after about 8 miles, I was happy I was almost at the end!! :p:p I had lots of fun with my 2 sister in laws and we all placed 5th place out of 18 people! My Nephew was first because he jogged the entire distance!! The total time it took me was 2 1/2 hours, which I didn't think was bad since I hadn't done a 10 mile walk since High School!! LOL...Anyway, at the end, the local newspaper took our picture and we all got a certificate saying we completed it...

It was fun and I would do it again, but first I have to rest my poor feet!:p :p

Have a great day all!! :)

WOW, Beanie, I am so inspired!! I would still be walking, (more like crawling) at 9pm. 2.5 hours! WOW!

WOW Beans.....GOOD JOB GIRL!!!!!! I did a 22 mile walk in high school - well it was suppose to be a 22 mile walk. From our town to the next town over. We made it to the town (11 miles) but stopped for lunch and called our parents to come get us. We were pooped and our feet hurt bad!!! It was to raise money for our yearbooks. Haven't done anything like that except Disney since!!!!

[nativetxn]

Sorry that I missed this, Bean. You must have a wonderful feeling of accomplishment after doing this.

I'm really proud of you cutie but I'm not one bit surprised. I knew you would finish this walk. When you say you're going to do something you always do it :)

Congratulations!

[jonb]

I wish I could find time to walk a mile never mind 10

Wow Beanie that's great, they would have had to call a wagon to get me over the finish line. Congratulations.
