Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi Tess, Thats great! I hope you are feeling better today. I too did my walk in Syracuse NY. It was POURING rain and I was about to bail on it (walking slowly with a 21 month old in a rainstorm didn;t seem like a good plan). But then the sun came out!! It was cold and damp and windy, only a handful of people showed up, but it was nice to meet some new people. It was a friendly event. My little 21 month old girl wanted to walk instead of ride in the stroller but she is only 20 lbs and the wind might have blown her away. Maybe I should have let her push me in the stroller -lol. I was exhausted afterwards, but it was a good kind of tired and sore, like I accomplished something if you know what I mean. I am very grateful that I was able to do it, thanks to the encouragement of all of you!! > > > Hi Friends...I did the Arthritis Walk yesterday and made my one mile goal.
