farewell my lovelies. I leave tomorrow for the Avenue of the Giants half...gimpy knees and all. Do you believe in miracles? :rolleyes:

I'm walking this puppy...maybe a little run/walk, we'll see how the knees are. I have my handy KT Tape (it's red!) and my taping instructions.

I hope to finish early enough to stumble back to my hotel, clean up, then go to the Eel River Brewing company. Or not. I may collapse in my room until dinner time.

My reason for walking:

Have a great time, Snap and please, please try to make it to the brewery (it's a great spot)! That is a beautiful course; mature redwood forests are amazing in so many ways. Walk if you want, run if you want. Enjoy and think about that little bundle of cuteness. :)

Snap, I'll buy you your first beer (I mean, I swear I'll send you the money afterwards if you make it to the brewery!).

Have fun, kiddo. Good on ya.

Of course we believe in miracles - the picture proves it. Some miracles come in cuter packages than a half marathon, but that's okay. Sweat still counts as a miracle. ;)

You'll do great! If you walk, you have more time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you run, you make it to the beer faster. Either way, win-win!

Adorable indeed! I just had to go donate to the cause for that cute face!

Good luck and I'll have a beer in honor of your half tonight! :)

Good luck, snap!! You'll do great.
Just remember: sometimes it about the journey- not the destination.

This is a journey. No matter how long it takes. No matter how fast you move. No matter what you feel like when you're done. What matters is that beautiful boy and all those who you're doing it for!!! Your battle will be over quickly, but the good you've done will help others continue the battle and WIN one day!!!:D

GO TEAM!!!

It was very difficult. The course wasn't bad, Nike in San Francisco is harder, but I have not trained enough. I'm web and photo Captain for my team this year, so I spent a lot of my training takiing pictures and not training. It's OK, I knew it would be hard.

I finished, slower than my Nike times, but finished non the less. My knee held up all 13.1 miles, now it's not happy. We went to the Victory Pary, then a few of us shared a bottle of wine, now I think I'll decompress then go to bed.

I'll get some pictures up in a few days.

I went to team track training (say that three times fast) tonight. I did one lap. :rolleyes: My knee is still bothering me, I need to pull my foam roller out and work on my IT band....I'm procrastinating, it's gonna hurt!!!

If you're interested, here is the Picasa site (http://picasaweb.google.com/TNT.Web.Captain/20100502AvenueOfTheGiants#)I set up for the team. Feel free to nose around the other folders too, if you like. :cool:
