My Last Training Walk

I did it!!!!  I went for a 14 mile walk on Sunday which took me four hours.  I didn’t break my stride at all (except to go to the bathroom).  It was a gorgeous day and I felt really great.  I ended up walking right in the midst of the Westchester Triathlon.  People were cheering and I felt the excitement until they saw me walking away from the other competitors then the cheering died down.

The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is this Saturday and Sunday, October 6th & 7th.  I’m ready, I’m psyched and a little nervous.  There will be thousands of people walking for the same cause.  I can tell you from past experience that it will be a very emotional and long weekend.  However, it is a great experience.

The baseball playoffs always take place during the Walk and this year is no different with the Yankees and Red Sox making it to the postseason.  There are a lot of Yankee fans walking that walk and we long to hear scores from people coming out of sports bars.  My husband calls me often and keeps me posted.  When he gives me the updates, I yell out to the other walkers and we either cheer or become anxious.

I am quite proud of my fundraising efforts although I wasn’t as agressive as I’ve been in the past.  To date, I have raised over $3,100 and the donations are still coming in.  I thank all of those who have supported me for this very important cause.  I will let you know how the weekend turns out.  Stay Tuned!!! :)
