I started training for the 40 mile Avon Walk for Breast Cancer yesterday. in one hour I walked 3.25 miles... not too bad for my first day. then at lunch today I went for 20 minutes and hit 1.16. I have been wanting to get back into a good firm shape and I think that this will help greatly, not to mention it's a great cause and a good bonding experience.
I decided to walk this year for a few reasons, one I have always wanted to but never wanted to do it alone, two it's such a great cause. My Aunt had a radical mastectomy several years ago and I have seen all of her struggle since then... I never want to see another person I know or love suffer through that. I know that walking 40 miles is a small part but hopefully I can raise enough money to feel like I made a difference. I will let you know how I feel over the next few weeks, with the daily walking and stretching I should feel this shortly. Oh and I get new shoes... thats always cool to a girl.
