We made it! We started off strong (well, comparatively) at the back of the pack. After a few pit stops we really were at the very back (except fo the blind woman who we lost sight of a few minutes into the walk).The police car (that goes last so that traffic can be reopened) was on our heals as we exited the I-90 tunnel. We kept swaping last place with "big blue", as we called him. It turned out in the end that we probably weren't the very last of the half-marathon walkers to finish, but we were certainly close!
Katie's left leg was giving out (entirely, 3 miles from the end), so we barely made it, but we did make it! And we have the medals (and lots of pictures, including one of a dead rat in the road) to prove it!
