One of the best parts of the 3 day were the cheering stations. I was always so glad to see this cheerleader even if he was more excited about the other people cheering and carrying on.
We also were so glad to see these two cheerleaders. Anderson and Maggie brought us some yummy yummy pre-mixed Gatorade. This blue gatorade was another best! We learned that powder gatorade can be a little hard to get just right in mass quantities. Sorry, 3 day your Gatorade was the worst!Happy late Birthday Mags!
I would have to say another 3 day worst is putting up your own tent.... Seriously...I wimped out and went home so I could take a hot bath, but good grief! I do not think you should have to walk 20.2 miles and then lug your suitcase to row I site 22 and put up your own pink tent. The best was when some athletes from Brookhaven College came and helped us. It was also the best that Annalee loaned us her air pump to blow up our air mattresses!
Although the 3 day Gatorade wasn't my favorite I would have to say that the other snacks were awesome. My friends Annalee and Tobin who have already done the walk warned me the snacks would be good and boy girl were they right. I have never been so well fed while exercising in my life. We had a pit stop where you use a port a potty, WORST, get a drink and a snack and stretch, etc. At those they had snacks galore. I LOVED the uncrustable PB & J and of course was thrilled that I was being encouraged to eat lays chips as a snack. Not the baked ones, the GOOD ones. SO great. I also really loved the cold orange slices and grapes.
It was also the BEST to get so many texts from all of you while we were walking or resting up each night!
It was the WORST to not walk all 60 miles. It was so frustrating to get on the bus to lunch and have them hand me a pin like it was a treat, I cried. It was also the WORST our bus driver took 40 minutes to get us to lunch, it was 2 miles. I had grand plans to get there early and get ahead of my team and instead met them at lunch. So, then I walked another mile and had dad and Michael pick me up because I wasn't sure if I could make it to the next stop almost 4 miles away. I know I am 21 weels pregnant yada yada but I was not raised to be a quitter and that is how I feel. I am still not sure I shouldn't have tried to do more on Saturday, but shoulda coulda woulda I guess.
It was the best to have Dad and Michael take such AWESOME care of Avery all weekend. Avery had a blast and I loved knowing he was getting tons of attention and play time with 2 of his favorite people.
Everyone's clever Breast Cancer Slogans, outfits and cars were the best...
Here are some of my favorite slogans from the weekend...
Save Second Base!!
Help Heal the Hooters! ( I love alliteration)
BEARS (this was a men's team, they even had a flag) Boys Excited About Racks
A man's t-shirt that just said I Heart Boobs (so honest)
Another poster with two holes cut out that the guys heads stuck through "These Boobs came to cheer you on as you walk for Boobs"
Help Stop the War in my Rack
You Can Do It Put Your Rack Into It
What did one saggy boob say to the other?? Perk up or they are gonna think we're nuts!

Congratulations on everything that you accomplished! What a feat at 21 weeks of pregnancy! Baby #2 Womble will be so proud of his/her mama, just like Avery!
cracking up at the slogans. super CLEVER!
and all this uncrustable talk has me really craving one. i'm about to break down and eat one outside of a 3-day event.
WORD on the uncrustables!!!!!!! I crave them often and when I see them at Costco I'm so tempted! Oh how I miss the 3day. Sometimes I put on my fanny pack just because I like how it feels on my back...so comforting to know you have water and gatorade at your fingertips! Oh and congrats on your new baby!
