    Well... the walk was good for the Team and not bad for the body too!!! Of couse, after all the good food consumed during the 4 days... I need to walk, like, 500 miles to work off the food. :D

    {EDIT} See... I wasn't the only one that thought about food and walking!!!

    It was a fun three-mile walk. Right about mile five I was feeling a little tired, but I made it through to the seven-mile halfway point. Long about mile twenty I caught my second wind and managed to finish the entire marathon. Turning around and repeating the entire process while walking backwards with a piano on my back and an anvil tied to each leg got to me, though.

    It was really cool when the Chairman of the Olympic Committee hung that gold medal around my neck. :woowoo:

    (I'm getting a head start on the storytelling exaggeration process.) :rockon:

    It was a good walk. I enjoyed talking to mtgoat. I got sun burned pretty badly though. Didn't even think about sunscreen.

    Hey Guys, Try some Aloe gel on those sunburns....
    It really does relieve the pain and will stop most of the pealing if you use aloe and moisturizer. Of course apply carefully so as not to irritate the sore areas.
    I have large aloe plants growing around my front porch and in containers, so I just cut a fresh limb that's full of juice. Split it down the middle and scrape out the jelly fron inside. Apply that generously to the sunburn. It's great for regular burns too. Helps stop scaring if you have bad burns or scrapes too.

    Got DogDragon's M.O. on Wednesday. He even included a few extra $$$. :D

    I'd like to not only thank him for sponsoring Team 93's SMx Project, but use this opportunity to remind everyone to keep his wife in our thoughts and prayers as she faces a difficult time.

    Fold On, teammates! :rockon::fold:
