Getting going.......

We did our first official training walk this weekend and it was awesome! When I walked in 08, doing 5 miles exhausted me. This year, I did 5 miles easily, we kept a great pace, and then I came home and cleaned the house, quite a different feeling this year. I'm super excited about walking this year because I think I'll be able to enjoy it more because I'm definitely in better shape and I know what to expect.

Fund raising is going awesome as well. My Mom starts her "Jeans Day" fund raiser this week and her co-workers are also graciously having a bake sale and donating those sales to me as well. I've also reconnected with a friend from high school who is using her home business as a method of getting donations as well. I'm feeling very blessed with incredibly generous people in my life right now! Sarah and I are doing a bowling fund raiser. This is a 1st for both of us and we are both super excited so stay tuned for more details. We're REALLY hoping that our bowling fund raiser will be our last fund raiser this season.

I've also signed up to be a Training Walk Leader. I don't know how many walks I'll lead but I can back up Sarah and our teammate Cheryl. Plus I get a fun little orange badge to wear on the 3 Day as a Safety Monitor :)
