Getting There is Half the Battle

Well, my friends, I wanted to report that as of this weekend, I have logged in 106.5 miles of training walking. WHEW!!! This week Brian and I are committing to walk Monday - Friday for 3 miles each AM. Now here in Arizona, that equates to getting up everyday this week at 4:15 AM to ensure we are out the door no later than 4:45 AM. This past Saturday was heavenly. The weather was cool and half way through, there was a wonderful breeze. It was overcast the entire way and my 7.5 mile walk was way more tolerable. Keep those prayers coming. They are appreciated. I am just $1000 from my goal now and am trying to think of ways to get that accomplished as well as raising funds for Brian, Beckie and Lizzy. Yes, Brian has put in his registration to be an official part of the walk. He is out with me everytime I walk and on the rare occasions that I don't go, he is still out there. Way to go Brian. Beckie and Lizzy are getting their training done at different times to accommodate their schedules. We all need donations, though, so please help in any way you can. It is to help wipe out this horrible disease. Remember that "Everyone deserves a lifetime."
