On the way back to Phoenix

I'm at the San Diego Airport returning to Phoenix.

Check this out! Rocking chairs next to plugs. They are filled with happy laptop users.

Made it!!!

We are going through the end of the line, scanning in our credentials and picking up our victory shirts. The place is packed and we are just anxious to make it through the closing ceremonies and find our way to the hotel, a warm bath, a hot meal, and a soft place to sleep...not on the ground...and not with 5000 other people.

Pit stop 4. 1,3 miles to go.

One photo of the line of portajohns. While I often welcomed the sight of these (as they were at the rest stops) I will be glad to be away from them for another year.

Pit Stop 3 Pink Flamingo Dress Up

Check back for the photo! 2.1 miles to go!!

Life is tough!

Heavy fog

No photo this morning. Heavy fog has the area in a white out.
Visability is about 20'.

We had a pasta dinner last night then went to the tents. I moved from
my assigned tent with a stranger into Amy's tent in Samantha's place.
Sleeping was tough until I took my Advil.

Teammate Thea message: her feet were doing fine until after lunch when
she developed tendoniyis and swelling in her right foot. She continued
though to the end. You will need to ask her about getting kicked out
of the bar with a bunch of angels. 21 miles!
