Over the past few years I have always had a desire to walk in the Susan G. Komen 3 Day for Breast Cancer. Despite a hectic schedule, I signed up for the 2009 walk in San Diego Nov. 20-22. I will be walking 60 miles in 3 days and I will be camping out in tents with thousands of other people. I am really excited and I've been trying to train as much as possible, even if that means walking on a treadmill in my hotel. It has been a struggle trying to train in cities I'm not familiar with, not knowing what areas are safe and walker friendly. My goal is to walk at least 2 miles, 5 days a week with one long walk of 5 miles or more. 2 weeks ago, Carly and I walked round trip from Grandview to Swamis (Leucadia-Encinitas) which was about 6 miles- quite the adventure. We felt really good after and really enjoyed ourselves. I am hoping to raise $2,300.00 for the cause. I am walking in memory of my Grandmother who was a survivor of breast cancer when I was a child. If you would like to donate to the cause and help me reach my goal please follow the link below.
