Did 4.5 miles easy running around Wheeler Farm tonight.

I noticed the Walk to Cure Diabetes is there tomorrow and looked it up on the Internet. So - maybe this is just me being fussy, or maybe this is a sign of the obesity times. When I was younger and they would have 'walks' such as this, people would get pledges by the mile and people would walk between 15-30 or more miles in a day for one of these. Now, they are 5K's. So - no one is really putting forth an effort, just money. I was wishfully thinking it would be one of the old 'by the mile' walks and I could go and do a 50K run at the park to earn money.

Maurine,

One of my all time favorite childhood memories was raising money while doing the March of Dimes "Walk-a-thon." Did it with a childhood friend when we were 12. And you are right ... it was a long walk ... it took us all day! :)

Hope you are having a fantastic evening.
