My feet are begging me to lay down. I've taken more Ibuprofen in the last 24 hours than my kidneys can process, but I'm alive and I actually walked 19 miles yesterday with 78 4th grade students and several parents. I loved it. It was worth every agonizing second to have my son wanting to walk right next to me the entire time. I'm SO glad I went. I'm so glad I did it. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. And honestly, it was fun. I would do it again (good thing because we will get three more chances to do this before our elementary days are done.)
We left the school at 9:30 yesterday morning and we were at the pick-up point at 5:20 yesterday afternoon. We broke for one hour for lunch and a few other shorter breaks along the way for water, etc. It was 86 degrees here yesterday, but we were in the woods a great deal of the time. I honestly did not know a woman could smell as bad as I smelled by lunchtime. And by the time we got back to school, I couldn't even stand the smell of myself. Let me just tell you now that Secret Pl@tinum is not designed for intense activity! :)
I hope you all have a great weekend. I will be sitting here with my feet up eating bon-bons if anyone wants to stop by! :)

SNORT!!! Oh my goodness I laughed so hard when I read that! Good for you for completing this challenge, and doing so with your son. That is awesome O!
I'm so happy you're non-committal. It's great to have you back in blogland!
See you in June!

GREAT job Ondrea!!! YOU ARE SUPERMOMMY!!!! Proud of you.
Rather you than me :) Well done to both of you. I doubt I could currently walk for 19 minutes, never mind 19 miles!
I love fourth graders and the mom's that will follow them that far on any given day, plus stink as a result. You go girl!
