A stroll in the Park

Golden Gate Park in SF certainly looks different walking back into it after logging about 39 miles in the 29 or 30 hours since we walked out. It is sunny, vibrant, active and loaded with people doing their thing. When we left if was foggy, quiet and relatively empty, save for the 3200 walkers trudging through it, of course.

Barb, Sally, Holly & I were very happy to see the park and know that the finish line was in the distance. It is a lot more than just about being finished with the walk (although that is a welcome component); it is about recognizing how good we are at getting something done when we put our minds to it.

A lot of good lessons come out of the Walk...the most poignant of which was a sign that was posted on the course, "Blisters don't need chemo".

With that perspective, our two days of walking really was just a stroll in the park.
