That's right. Crutches, boot and all I did the Relay. Not your typical multi-leg relay, no baton either. Instead Relay For Life is all about walking, or running if that's more your speed, around a track in order to raise funds for cancer research and education.
So, why would I be involved with Relay? Simple, it's a good cause, and apparently I'm a "good boy". Even if I can't run it, I can crutch it bitches! And crutch it I did.
My Relay results:
total time cructhing: 2 hours (in one hour segments)
total distance crutched: 4 miles (2x2mile repeats)
average speed: 2miles/hour
My personal gremlin was with me the whole way. I walked with others on the team, and they kept saying "we can stop when you're tired" or "can you do another lap?" damn if my gremilin didn't want to scream back "I can go as far as you" or "This ain't nunthin!" oh well, sometimes the gremlin is good for you, I know tc's killing hers..but mine is as strong as ever, and it helped me get some fairly impressive results.
I think those results are pretty damn good, it justifies all those donations that folks made (not hat any justification was needed). Thanks everyone.
