Day 1 complete!!

Hey everyone, finally have a chance to sit down and type a bit before I nod off to sleepsville. The Long Road Home officially began at 9:45am on the Belmont pier this morning. There was one photo-journalist from the Long Beach Press Telegram there for the kickoff. Story will be out in their papers tomorrow, which is cool. I am running each day in honor or memory of a person, couple, or group that has impacted my life. Obviously, my first day was dedicated to Mom, because, without her, this would not be. Although, I think she was more nervous and wired this morning than I was. I was just ready to start running. Got to meet the Executive Officer of the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station, and got him on camera. After the interview, he presented me with an official patch, and the Executive Officer's Coin, which was quite unexpected, and a wonderful honor. After day 1, my body is definitely feeling the effects of the stress I just put on it, but I'll manage. Tomorrow is day 2, and that will tell me more about how my body is going to recouperate daily. Pretty tired now, think I'll go check for holes in my eyelids.
