First training walk

I did it.  I singed up for the komen 3 day.

First it means a lot to me.  Cancer has affected so many people that I care about.  Breast cancer took a dear friend of mine.  Her cancer was diagnosed at stage 4.  It had already metastasized an there was very little they could do for her.    A yearly mammogram saved my own grandmother. Her cancer was found very early.  A lumpectomy would have probably been enough but she wanted to be sure it was all gone.  She has been cancer free ever since.

I was working on physical fitness already.  Komen supports its walkers in their efforts before the event.  They provide a training schedule to make sure every walking will be ready.   My first training walk was today.

3 miles.

I will be walking in a week, what I walked all last month.  Yikes.  12 miles the first week with 3 cross training days and one day off.  I can do it.

One step at a time.

The mountain I need to climb isn't the walking.  I can do that.  60 miles in three days is huge but I can do that if it helps find a cure for cancer and gets more women screened.  After all early detection is they key.  The hard part is fund raising.

$2300

WOW!  That is a HUGE amount of money.  That is more than two months rent.  Add the truck payment into that and you would be getting close.

I have a plan.

SEW! ! !  

Baby clothes, dresses and pillows.  Aprons and anything that can be embroidered by machine!

One project at a time.

Breath...  I can do this.
