One foot in front of the other

Last Sunday I did AIDS Walk NY with 45,000 other New Yorkers in Central park.  Thanks to my dear friends, family, clients and random strangers I raised enough to be a star walker again this year.

Star walker status gets me in the tented check-in which was huge with the rain this year, the nifty goodies and the breakfast tent.  Some people really do take that whole free breakfast thing seriously, charity or not.  Little lesson for you all, never get between a queen and her pastry.  I may have a life long bruise.

There were a bunch of famous people at the opening ceremonies.  I'm not a big network TV watcher so I really have no idea who they are I'm sad to say.

Its hard to really describe 45,000 people inside central park all walking in the same direction, to the same destination for the same selfless cause.  But this is a glimpse of what some of it looks like.

I wish it hadn't been raining or that spring hadn't been so confused this year.  My sinuses couldn't really hang for the after walk festivities.  But I had a blast.  I'm hoping that next year I can have a nice star walker buddy to come with me!

I poked around Central Park for a little bit and then headed home.
