This week, from Monday through Thursday, I walked 34 miles in new loafers over the cobblestones of Berlin. Walked so much I have some weird muscle strain across the top of my foot. On Friday, of course, we flew home.
There was a cancer research fundraiser in Stamford today — a 5K walk, a 5K run and a 10K run.
So naturally we went out and ran the 10K.
I do not know what is happening.
Signs from the groups massing for the walk:
Big hugs after the finish line:
Mid-run thoughts: Every uphill is just a downhill you haven't met yet.

Supporters along the way. Some days they boost the morale more than others:
In the little festival area they had near the finish line there were boards with markers and posters and note cards. People were coming through and writing the names of the people they were running and walking for. It was quite moving.
If you want a little feel-good emotion wake up early some weekend and volunteer at a cancer run. It’ll change your day.
