Notes
Strictly walk-only. We weren't even finished, coming up the last half mile stretch, and heard the organizers of the race calling out the winners. It was insulting, because they knew that we were walking and they also knew me personally, so they knew I hadn't finished yet. They didn't track age groups or official times for anybody but 1st place male / female. Knew it was a fundraiser, but it was clear that was all we were there for.
My toes went numb, broken metatarsal started aching, and right arch feels like it it swollen with fluid underneath. Walking since then has been really painful.
I was really in it for the miles, the tshirt, and the company. I had a friend walking with me for the first time. :) I hate running alone.
For the rest of the day, I was coooold.
