https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/Did-it/m-p/1184#M105 Congratulations. You should be very proud of yourself. That is a huge effort.  How long did it take you to get over the soreness and blisters, or were you tougher than you thought? Are you signing up for next year!

I surprised myself that I'm not still sore!Could hardly move on Monday but I got up and walked the clampett's at 6.30 yesterday and today(very slowly!).Not one single blister!Amazing when you think I only got my shoes last Wednesday...Ellie decided to add her own design to my ones I was going to wear! At this stage I am going to do it next year,planning on trying to run it.next challenge I've set myself.Probably fooling myself but this time last year I wouldn't have given myself much chance of walking it. Again,thanks for the support,Margaret Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:23:11 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/Did-it/m-p/1185#M106 margro 2009-03-11T01:23:11Z https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/Did-it/m-p/1186#M107 WOW...Congratulations!!! What a great effort. An Inspiration. Great mention in the Sun Herald too. Flying the Flag HIGH. I am sure Ellie -May and Jed were with you in spirit. Keep up the good work and thankyou for the enormous fund-raising effort. Please send me the photo of you crossing the line?Cheers,Helen Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:24:11 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/Did-it/m-p/1186#M107 2009-03-11T01:24:11Z https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/Did-it/m-p/1187#M108 Thanks Helen, I don't think the photo is a good idea,thinking of putting it on the front door with a sign saying "this is the person inside",better than a burglar alarm!!! My next fundraising idea is a lot less physical! Margaret Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:25:11 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/Did-it/m-p/1187#M108 margro 2009-03-11T01:25:11Z
