The Day After

For half of Team Udderly Pink, today started with waking up in our own beds.  For the other half, today will be travel back to their own homes with tomorrow being the waking up in their own beds day.  But the best thing is how quickly we will all forget the agony of those last 5 miles and just remember the good and happy times.  Our taped and bandaged feet may tell a different tale, but in our hearts the last three days was just a stroll through D.C.

Will we ever do another one?  If you asked us while we were trudging through those last miles, our answer would be a resounding NO!  But even as we celebrated our team finish, we were talking about "the next time."  Do we have one actually planned?  No, but I think we might be open to the idea.  All it would probably take is somebody saying, "Let's do it again."  Fortunately, no one is saying that now.

In the end, we're all thankful for the experience and the memories we made during this weekend.  We just wish we didn't have to have this type of event to raise funds to end this disease. We hope a cure will be found and women and men won't have to suffer and even die because of breast cancer.  But until then, we'll keep our hearts and minds open to whatever we can do to find a cure.

Even if it means lacing up our sneakers for another stroll through another city ...

Today was a great day because:  I woke up in my own bed; got my laundry done; caught up on some household tasks; picked up Lindley at school; had some Lindley and Everley time; Sam picked up Baha for dinner
