This week my friend, Carole, and I started training in earnest for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Not ones to take things too slowly, we decided to plunge into a 10-mile walk on Sunday!
The weather was great, a bit cool, but much better than being too hot, and the trail from Campbell to Los Gatos was absolutely gorgeous. While we certainly didn't break any records, 3 1/2 hours went by quickly and we ended the walk feeling tired but triumphant!
The Avon Walk is coming up in July and I am beginning to realize that I am really going to do this. Back in January when I signed up, I think I thought in the back of my mind that, if my health wasn't what I wanted or if I just couldn't bring myself to ask for the money, that I could just quietly back out.
That was before I got a posse together! These ladies are fierce and determined! I've posted links for both Carole and Kelley's Avon pages to this page so that, if you'd like to sponsor an amazing woman, you can take your pick.
The next few months will go by quickly as we continue to train and raise funds for this amazing organization. I'll try to keep you posted. BTW, the next milestone will be 14 miles on May 3, wish us luck!

Hey Andrea,
I couldn't find the link to your friend's walk pages. Am I missing something? And BTW, 10 miles is a crazy first walk! Way to go!! I would like to ride my bike out some day to encourage you on! I could bring power bars and water! :-)
