Before I started my last leg of 4.8 miles I was informed by one of our runners that she couldn't do her last leg which was the one after mine so I volunteered to run her 3.4 mile leg in conjunction to mine. I started out wit serious cramps in my side around 5 am with 48 degree temps. I was exhausted to wake up from a sleeping bag with 4 hours sleep and then jump up and try to get your legs moving was impossible! I'm glad its over.

4 hours, huh? I only got 45 minutes and I was like a SPRING CHICKEN!

From Walter on Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 19:02:45 from 24.10.169.110

Yeah yeah Kelli, I was so tired after the second run the only thing that woke me was your driving on the rumble strip and waking to your daughter screaming thinking we were going off a cliff or ditch or something. Tell little britches thats the only time she will scare the crap out of me.

From Kelli on Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 19:04:36 from 71.219.99.30

She came home and slept 16 hour straight. Oh how it would be.

Happy Father's Day!!! :)

From Walter on Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 20:47:00 from 68.171.235.77

Kelli, she was flat out amazing! You tell little britches I'm proud of her!

From Walter on Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 20:47:56 from 68.171.235.77

Teena Marie, Thank you for the wishes. I appreciate that.

Just hoping that Walter James is being spoiled rotten is all! :)

Seriously, hope you are having a great one!

(and get some sleep)

From Walter on Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 20:54:42 from 68.171.235.77

TM, I got to sleep in which was much needed. I've been spoiled. Except for the massage. I'm still hoping for that. Lol

sleep overrated....I ran two of my legs on 5 total hours of nap sleep since Tuesday and 1 hour sleep before my last leg...but yes it does reduce leg turnover and mental stamina...oh and I am sure my IQ was way down...BUT Look at that YOU still ran rather quickly, not being used to no sleep and all, of course!!!! Great two legs in a row there!!!

From Walter on Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 01:22:39 from 68.171.235.77

Thanks Julie! Btw I never caught you on your second leg did I?

From Kelli on Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 17:09:08 from 71.219.99.30

Walter is just a big baby. He slept more than anyone else in the van with all of his naps laying across everyone in the back seat and his long slumber on the grass.
