Me three. But I love reading your training reports, Snap. They're interesting, and they sound just like I think I would feel, if that makes any sense.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Great job, Snap! You're coming along nicely. Try soaking for 5 min. in an ice bath after those long sessions. It always helps my achy knees after long efforts. And you get a TNT sweatshirt? Cool! I need to do TNT again- I need a new sweatshirt.
(but I had just forgotten how hard it was to raise all that money...)

Way to go Snap!
Here's a tip on sore feet - get yourself a lacrosse ball (of something of similar size and density) and roll your foot over it after walking - it's a great way to give yourself a foot massage, and it really helps!
Do they recommend the double sock approach for your walking? I've have good luck with the wicking liners and mid-weight smartwool hiking socks - no blisters of hot spots at all so far.Keep calm and carry on...

I'll give the ball massage a try. Dang. That sounds slightly obscene.
Moving right along.....another thing the foot Dr told us about that is pretty cool (literally). Take a plastic water bottle, fill it with half water and half rubbing alcohol. Stick it in the freezer. After a walk, use it to massage the bottoms of your feet. He also recommended that we mark the bottle with warnings -- wouldn't want to accidently drink it. Although I suppose if you replace the rubbing alcohol with vodka.........
I haven't tried double socks, although I do have liners and socks from my hiking days. The Wright sox are pretty cool, they're double sox on their own. So far I've had good luck, no blisters. *fingers crossed*

Snap, my husband ordered these socks and it is a Smart Running, double layer, Cool Max running sock. Scroll down the bottom of the page to read about it. He's worn them for cycling and hiking and has never had a blister.
