Avon Walk Weekly Update
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.
Thoughts on training so far: This was another poor week for training. Hubby and I have both been sick (he even took two sick days this week – he NEVER takes sick days!) I had just enough energy to go to work and come home and that was it. I did try skiing for the first time ever on Thursday night. My legs were sore from that and I know I worked some muscles I’ve never used before. It was a good time. This week I passed the halfway mark on my fundraising!
Miles walked last week: 0
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: I spent about 2.5 hours learning to ski
Total $$ raised: $1,535
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.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Oh, Jen. Wow, I am so sorry to hear this. My heart breaks just looking at these photos. I can’t even imagine the emotions you and your family have felt this past year. I’m glad you decided to write and post your thoughts. It’s so important to get those feelings out—and it always helps knowing you’re not alone.
Tornadoes are horribly scary. We have our fair share here in Nebraska, and I work in disaster education and preparedness. Even so, they can occur so quickly and can cause so much devastation in such a short amount of time. And the recovery process certainly takes time. Sending a virtual hug your way!
What a strong and resilient community, so much has been done in only a year. God Bless to all who have toughed it out and rebuilt. So happy for you and your family for surviving this.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. My prayers are with you and all involved.
