Well, here is another update to my AVON Breast Cancer Walk in May.
Fundraising:  I am still far away from my $1800 goal, but I've planned to make lunches this week at work and sell them for $5 each and hopefully can add another $200 or so to my fundraiser.

Workout:  This is where I'm really excited!  Because the weather was so nice yesterday I did a 7 MILE walk outside.  I found this great site, mapmywalk.com and I made a path from my home and around by the water, through town and back home, which was a 7 mile path and I actually walked the whole thing!!!! in 2 1/2 hours!  I took 2 breaks and rested about 5 minutes each and stretched!  I am amazed at myself!!  I know it's far from the 39 miles that I will be walking in May, but I didn't think I could do it and I was able to prove myself wrong.

So here's my mantra for the day:
If you don't try, you won't achieve!!

Lisa you are truly an inspiration! I cannot even phatom walking 7 miles! I checked out the url you gave and did map out my walk yesterday which was a measely 1.3 miles to your 7! LoL!

39 miles is a lot and I wish you much success with it! Keep up the training and I'm sure you'll make your goal!

Congrats to you!
