One Step at a Time

It's been a long hard week of training.  I'm not going to lie, my legs have felt like jello on more than one occasion.  It's getting more and more fun as I get ready though!  I can't wait until July!!!!  Its amazing to me how many people will be affected by the money being raised for this organization.  Thank you for the continuous donations.  I couldn't do any of this without all of you.  I'm going to continue to work hard on this project everyday.  The more training that I do, the easier it will become.  So far I've been walking about 4-5 miles everyday.  Every other day I'm walking outside (with miss Bristol) with ankle weights on.  On the days that I don't walk outside, I'm walking with my mom on a treadmill with hand weights.  It's time consuming, but to think that just by participating in this walk I'm making a difference, it seems more simple.  Can't wait to start walking 5-6 miles next week :)  !!!!

Snowy Walk

My furry little companion (Bristol of course) went on a nice long training walk with me tonight.  Let's just say ankle weights, Bristol and snow on the ground make for a rough winter walk.  My legs are getting stronger though and I'm well on my way to getting ready for my 60 mile walk.  Thank goodness I have the puppy to keep me going though!  Thank you for the donations this week!  I couldn't do this without you!  

Training Day 1

Today's the first day of traning!!!  I guess I have to bundle up really good though seeing as how its only nine degrees outside.  The Ipod and puppy are ready to go!  As unappealing as it sounds to start walking in the freezing cold, I'm really excited to get going.  I still need as much help as possible with the donations.  Anything you can do would be more than helpful!  I do want to thank my mom though for helping me out as much as possible with all of this.  She will be helping me train by walking with me as soon as the weather warms up (at least a few degrees haha).  Today puppy Bristol and I are starting with our usual 4 mile walk.  Wish me luck :)!

Just Getting Started

Hey Everyone!

Incase you haven't heard yet, I'm joining hundreds of women in Cleveland July 29th-31st for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk for the cure.  During these three days we will each walk 20 miles for a total of 60 miles at the end of the weekend.  This walk is to raise money for the continuing research of a cure for breast cancer.  Each participant must raise a minimum of $2,300.  However, I can't do this alone.  I need the support of each and every one of you.  Any donations possible would be greatly appreciated.  I will begin training for this walk at the start of next week.  Please help me on this amazing and exciting walk by donating and telling others about what I am trying to do.  No donation is too little!  "alone we accomplish little, but together we accomplish much!" -Helen Keller
I will continue to post on here the amount of money that I have raised as well as how my training is going.  I will keep this updated almost every other day so feel free to leave questions, comments or pictures as you feel fit.  Thank  you for all of your love and support!!!
