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.

We who are about to die....

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

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."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."

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!

Go Snap!!! Collin is the worthiest of causes. Good on you a thousand times over for doing this for him.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

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!!!
