Team Tough Titty: The Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure: San Diego, 2012

I'll never forget Gina telling me that she would never walk 60 miles...or when she told me--after watching closing ceremonies--that she would. I understood how closing ceremonies had changed her mind, and I couldn't wait to share the whole 3-Day experience with her. I knew it would be an experience she would never forget. Little did we know that we would end up walking to honor BOTH of her sisters, too...

One thing that Gina didn't change her mind about, though, was sleeping in a tent. She never once considered it, and so she spent her nights at the local Hilton. I, on the other hand, was just as happy to have a tent all to myself! I love the tenting part...being in camp, showering in the trailer...all of it.

I was also happy that Gina did not have her heart set on walking every one of the 60 miles. Many walkers pressure themselves into doing so, even though it is absolutely not necessary. This time, we were gonna jump on sweep vans whenever we wanted, and eat when and where we wanted. It was a good plan!
