Avon Walk Weekly Check In
It’s time for my weekly checkin for how my Avon Walk training. If you’d like to see my full training calendar, check it out here or on the left sidebar of my blog.
Miles walked last week: 5.1 – I decided to move today’s 3 mile walk to tomorrow because we’re really busy today and I have some free time tomorrow night.
Minutes doing cardio: 78
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Thoughts on training so far: I didn’t get any blisters this week, although I did all my training on a treadmill. It’s been really cold here in Boston, so there’s no way I’m walking outside at this point!
Total $$ raised: $570
Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! If you’d like to donate to support my walk, you can make a donation on my Avon Walk page. If you donate at least $5 by the end of January (today is the last day!), you will be entered to win a very cute tote.
After Super Storm Sandy hit NYC, I was amazed how many people were willing to give to my collection to help friends in need. I’m glad I have a chance to return the favor. I wish all the best to your family, they are in my prayers.

Thanks for the thoughts. Everyone’s thoughts and prayers have been very helpful this week.
I am so sorry to hear about your mom’s home. My parents, grandma, and brother and his family all live in Washington. I am about an hour south. My brother lives a few blocks the tornado path and mom and Grandma were at Crossroads church which was really close to it. If there is anything that my family can do to help your mom, please let me know. My parents are volunteering and looking for people that they can provide assistance to.
