Where the heck has she been!?

Okay I’m back. I took a small vacation to my couch with a box of Kleenex for the past several days.  I haven’t had a cold in YEARS and this stupid thing knocked me silly. I didn’t want to go to the doctors but I finally dragged myself there only to have them minimize my misfortune as the ‘common cold’. Really? There was nothing common about sleeping 13 hours at a time and being unable to walk in a straight line, ah well.  I’m on the road to mending and finally made it to the gym this morning.  I haven’t walked any further than the kitchen in a week so it’s time to get back to training!  I hear we will have some beautiful weather this weekend and I’m looking forward to getting back on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail soon!

Free massage? Yes please!

Now, I consider this spring weather! Sunday I went to the Kickoff Training events sponsored by New Balance.  Can you believe I actually won another 1 hour massage??  This here is one lucky (soon to be pampered) lady.  A lot of people showed up for this event, sounds like we will have a lot of company on this walk in July.

Above is a shot from the 2010 walk, my walking partner Christina, I and the New Balance shoe – sporting non other but New Balance shoes love it!  Looking at the absence of sweat and the fact that we still have smiles on our faces I would say that this is earlier on Day 1 (pre-blisters and ankle injuries).  That was the easy day.  We were running on little sleep and pure excitement!  

As of today my fabulous donors have brought my fundraising totals up to $600 wahoo!! At this rate I’ll make my $2300 goal in no time. I’m starting to get super excited and anxious for July to get here already!  Thanks again to my friends and family for their continued support.
