What a difference a few hours makes. My walking partner/tent mate/
best friend is out. She caught a bad cold two days ago and still
walked. Unfortunately, the walk took it out of her and she had to go
to the ER. She got a clean bill of health, but can not finish the 3
day. She worked so hard, training and raising $2500 for the event,
only to be stopped in day one. This event can be heartbreaking to
those unable to finish, and my heart is broken for her.I finished the first day and because of the delays I was the last one
to camp. The sun was setting and I still had to pitch the tent. A crew
member came over, saw that I was alone and pitched the tent for me.
The girls in the next tent over inflated my air mattress for me. Then
I took a shower and cried.I am now going to get dinner and then go to sleep. Tomorrow I walk
without my best friend, but I do not walk alone.
