I would walk 500 Miles

Will the real Pretenders please stand up?!

As you all know my beloved and I are walking 20 miles this weekend. We two, out of shape beer swillers, are planning on setting out in the 90 degree heat at approximately 2100 hours on Saturday evening on an, as of now, unknown route that will weave and twist it's way through Manhattan's borough’s leading us to the much hyped and eagerly anticipated closing ceremony which starts at 5am Sunday morning. We could not embark on this journey if not for the loving support from all of our terrific and generous friends many of whom are on The Neatness, and for that I think I can speak for both of us when I say, "Hey, Thanks guys"! In preparation for this great undertaking, beloved and I have done nothing. No training, no stretching, just a lot of fundraising. With less than 24 hours until the commencement of this great moment our plans are as follows: 1. Purchase a Nintendo Wii. 2. Play it. 3. Watch movies and eat popcorn. 4. Sleep until noon. 5. Find Tyler's running sneakers. 6. Go walk 20 miles.
Lucky for those of you who have any curiosity as to how this whole escapade will go, Tourist Tyler will be creating a photo journal of our experience, and thus will be handling the post walk, uh, post.
Wish us luck!!
