2664 Training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer : Motivated and Dedicated

Training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

Posted on September 3, 2007

I’m getting ready for my fourth Avon Walk for Breast Cancer on October 6th & 7th.  I will be walking that walk for approximately 39.3 miles over the course of the weekend (26 miles on Saturday and 13 on Sunday) and raising over $1,800 (which is the minimum requirement to participate in the walk).

Over the past three years I have walked over 100 miles not including my training walks.  I’m walking with three other women this year.  The first year there were eight of us, the second sixteen, last year eight and this year four.  The bigger the group the more camraderie but the bottom line is the true meaning of the walk and that is to raise awareness to this terrible disease called breast cancer that has become an epidemic among women and yes men alike.

 I usually start training for the walk in July but I got off to a late start this year.  However, that will not deter me from reaching my goal of 39 miles.  I started training in early August and have been somewhat inconsistent.  I walked 9 miles last week and need to keep it going.  Today is September 3rd and I will have to put in some serious mileage starting this week.  I will be keeping you up to date with my training routine and adventures along the way (as I always have some funny story to report back to my husband along my walks). 

 Stay Tuned !!! :)
