The Second Day.

The second day we travelled through Kenmore and Bothell. We spent some time on the Burke Gillman Trail shown below. I never knew Seattle had so many hills!! I was experiencing some pretty annoying shin splints starting the day and by time I got to the pit stop I had to goto the physical therapy tent for medical attention. They tapped me up right nice and I was on my way. As you can see this technique is not a ladies best friend when trying to get a nice tan! I am so proud of myself that I got through the whole day with minimum whining and finished the walk in the top 700! Considering there were 2,700 walkers I think I did pretty good... Although, I was being passed left and right by ladies 3 times my age and size!! I have to admit I was so proud of everyone out there. The young and old walking together for one cause.

Just a few interesting facts:
The oldest participants ~ Mary Ann Allmann and George Nummer at 74
The youngest participant was Stephanie Klingsporn at 16
The oldest survivors ~ Vonis Schroeder (69) and Suzzanne Matzen (72)
The youngest survivor was Dawn Griep (23)
There were a total of 293 survivors at the event!

Simply Astonishing!!
