I finished the walk ...


Actually, the whole team finished and we're all still alive!

Here's us starting ...


The Intracostal at 8:30 AM. 45 degrees F, 7.2 C air temperature. Some of the walkers on the way back.

Another shot of the Intracostal for everyone up north or who's having winter!

The team at the finish line! 10:00 AM, 67 degrees F, 19 C

The South Florida Chapter of The Susan G. Komen Foundation raised over 1.4 million dollars for breast cancer research during this event. YAY US!

Thanks everyone!

That's an amazing result. You should all be very proud of that. Nice to se sunshine and palm trees, we've got now here and bitter winds!

Congratulations! We are currently in the big freeze with a dusting of snow.

What I wouldn't give to be there. :)

Hey, the shots of Florida are beautiful! I always loved living there this time of the year. No heat and humidity...just perfect!

Way to go, Sis!

" Well done all of you " I am rather jealous of the sunny climate, blue skies, blue sea... We got snow here and it's not at all nice!!

Akelamalu ~ Thank you!

Sage ~ It's really nice down there. Being by the water helps by keeping things pretty cool.

Chopper ~ It was a beautiful day and thankfully not too hot. I haven't seen snow in over 25 years!

Fire Byrd ~ Thank you! It's my pleasure to walk for my daughter and my friends.

Fat Controller ~ I posted the scenery pictures for everyone who's cold in the winter!

Suze ~ Thanks for stopping by! I didn't know that England didn't get much snow, I'll bet it was a great surprise for the children but not so much for the adults who had to get to work!

Ron ~ Actually, the weather was colder than normal so it was fabulous! Thanks, bro!

Loving Annie ~ Thank you! It's very satisfying.

Ronjazz ~ Thank you, hun! Why, yes! Yes, I believe you have. ;)

Trixie ~ We are proud and celebrated with a huge lunch! LOL

Spiky ~ Thanks, babe! And ... you're welcome!

Riff ~ It is a very beautiful area. The pictures are from West Palm Beach showing ritzy Palm Beach across the water.

Autumn ~ Our relay is in the fall. Not too many races in Florida in the summer! Thanks for the update on the date!

Indigo ~ Hopefully someday you can come visit this sunny climate. Just don't come July through October, it's like heated-up Hell!

Sylvanus ~ Thanks for coming by! We do good and have fun, can't beat that!

RHT ~ Thank you!

JsTzznU ~ WOW! Welcome back, stranger! Nice to see you here AND on Twisted Pleasures!
