July 8th: Kicking into High Gear!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to give you a little update on my progress. I have had a little bit of a slow start as far as training, but I am kicking things into high gear. Today I did a 11.2 mile training walk, and my body really felt it. It just reinforced the fact that I need to get out there more regularly and start increasing my mileage. It felt really great to do a big walk like that though. I know I will be ready to finish that 40 mile walk come October. I am really starting to feel the excitement about the upcoming event. It is only 91 days away! I can't believe it!!

Thank you to everyone who has donated, as well as to those who have offered their emotional support! So far I have raised a little over $1300, with just $500 to go to reach the minimum requirement of $1800. I truly hope that over the next 3 months, I will far exceed that minimum and match my fundraising achievement from the 2004 walk of $5000.

Even though I have participated in this event before, I am still a little overwhelmed. I am also truly moved and thrilled to be able share in and contribute to something so important. We will find a cure for breast cancer, as well as the other forms of cancer in the world.
