When walking 26.2 miles in one day, 13.1 can be seen as an accomplishment, but isn't the point of complete celebration.We hit the 1/2 marathon marker sometime after 12:30 or so; not too bad in terms of overall time, but not at the absolute front of the pack. Sally was our official time/position checker, she would check with the counters at the entrance of every rest-stop to see what number we were in terms of overall walkers. We typically hovered in the 1300's, with the one exception when it was 3200-something...there is probably a story in there somewhere.
We had a nice visit at lunch (which was the stop prior to our 13.1 milestone) from Sally's family (Denise and Nikko) as well as Miss Gabe, who hobbled out on her crutches to say hello! It was a very festive event with the walkers enjoying a bit of fresh air on the peds and a clean pair of socks.
Always looking out for the feet, we are!
