I walked the whole four miles.

I wasn't the very last one in, probably because there were still marathon runners coming in.  I did get my medal (everyone who finishes gets a medal) and I did hear my name over the loud speaker, probably because there wasn't anyone else coming in at the same time. I started out in a group of 3,200 but walking into the ball diamond there were only about four of us in a very loose group. A couple of people along the way told me I was an inspiration. Nothing like gray hair and a cane to get the sympathy vote. But the big question is will I walk the Fort for Fitness four mile walk next year? Nope, not planning on it. Maybe I'll be one of the volunteers passing out water or beer. The beer was handed out somewhere in mile three, and, even though I'm not much of a beer drinker, it tasted wonderful. Maybe I shouldn't work the beer stand.
