Training and Soreness

So, I am officially out of reasons to put off training for the 3-day walk. The Fundraiser to combat breast cancer is in Novemeber, and I have to be ready to walk 60 miles over 3 days. I started training back in February, but had to take a break as I got more pregnant. But now the baby is here, and it is time to do my small part to make sure her world is breast cancer free. So, here we go!

I am doing a 16 week training schedule to get ready. I thought I would be behind, but they have a great training plan for folks that come on board late. Plus, one of best friends from Junior High and High School has decided to walk with me. Her name is Kari, and she is the beauty queen eating cupcakes with me in a picture right here on my blog. Kari and her sister Tobi lost there mom to ovarian cancer when they were 7 and 5 years old. I had barely mentioned the 3-day walk in casual conversation before Kari said, "Yeah, I'm doing that with you." She said it calm and cool and never looked back. We talked yesterday about how sore we ARE!! She just started her training too, and she said that last week she and Tobi did 15 miles from "right off the couch." She said it tore her up.

I am so excited to walk with Kari, my Aunt Sally and my cousin Kate in November. These are all very special women in my life. And two of the other most important women in my life will be up in LA watching my little ladies for me while I push myself to the limit and wear my shoes right out.

Stay tuned for blogs about my training and tiredness!!
