It’s hard to believe, but I’m back to the starting point already. According to the materials, the loop we walked was three miles long. It didn’t seem like it though. Next year I may measure it using SmartRunner.
It was a fun event and I look forward to doing it again next year.
Zeus here was one of the many dogs who joined us for the walk. His human said she had to collect his sponsors for him though.
Lots of shirts. There are some creative people here.
Well I got here and checked in at about 9:15. I was worried about finding the field house, but I should’ve known better. I just had to follow the crowd.
Inside the field house, things are really bustling.
I hope to get pictures of some of the teams’ tee shirts. Some of them are pretty creative.
Well, I’m already up and showered. Unfortunately, registration for the Walk doesn’t open for another hour and a half. In the meantime, I thought I’d write a test post from my phone, just to make sure it works.
No picture to post at this time. I’m sure there will be plenty when I get over to RIT though.
Tomorrow is the big day! Around 8:45, I’ll be driving around RIT, trying to find where I’m supposed to be to sign in for the Walk to Cure Diabetes. I’m both excited and nervous. As this is my first time, I have no idea what to expect. But I’m trusting it will be a great experience.
I admit that I haven’t done as many posts on this blog as I’d have liked. I had plans for posts about the costs of insulin and diabetic test supplies. I had hoped to talk a bit about the artificial pancreas project and what exciting news it holds for people dealing with type one diabetes every day of their lives. But life got in the way, and things didn’t go as plans. No matter, though. I will be doing this again next year, and I can do those posts in the meantime.
I want to thank everyone who supported me and donated to me. Thanks to my generous friends, family, and coworkers, I was able to raise $280 for the JDRF. I feel that’s quite an accomplishment, and am grateful to all those who pitched in.
Tomorrow, I hope to liveblog the event, sharing photographs that I take and upload to the blog using my cell phone.
