The Breast Cancer 3-Day
|
Please support me as I take for the second time an amazing journey in the fight against breast cancer!
I'm walking 60 miles in the name of Tita, my Mom, who is a cancer survivor and for all the cancer survivors out there...the ones today and for all of us that will survive breast cancer tomorrow....
This Breast Cancer event is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.
Please help with what you can...

Wish me luck on the training!!!
I did this 3Day Cancer walk in May 2002, I was few years younger and few pounds lighter-:).....and that time I started training 6 months prior to the walk.......this time on the other hand I only have 15 weeks to get ready.
I started training this weekend on walking 3 miles on Saturday 4/11 and 3 Miles on Easter Sunday 4/12....I know it wont be easy, my legs hurt...but in looking at the big picture my pain is nothing compared with what breast cancer victims go through.....
Stay tune....I'll keep you posted on my training progress

I walked 4.7 miles on Saturday and I'm not sure how many miles this morning but at least 6 miles....all I know is that we walked for 2 hours around town.
I found a group in my town that is doing the 3Day walk in July and I joined them to do all the long training walks on the weekends.....
Next week I need to do 3 miles per day during the week and then long 6-8 miles on Sat and Sun.......I need LOTS of Tylenol-:)
13 weeks to go....
