OC Heart Walk
Michelle and I walked in the OC Heart Walk last Saturday morning. It was hot and the walk seemed a little easier than last year. Last year they had bibs, this year they did not, so it was kinda odd. They let everyone begin the walk at the same time, instead of letting people go in groups. It was difficult walking in such a huge group of people. All in all, I’m glad we did it, and it was a great way to start the weekend. I didn’t see anyone else from my company there, but at least 7 other people should have been there.
