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. 






Jen hope you have a fun weekend at Sunday River!! Jene great to read about your life with an engineer in the kitchen. sounds like its always an adventure!
found the post that’s missing some links to it.
You don’t need to be an engineer to throw baking soda on a fire just someone who doesn’t panic. But the yogurt machine and hotplate now that’s interesting engineering. I’m guessing a chemical or materials type engineer. LED colors have different temperatures but I don’t think they freeze. Maybe I need to learn more about LEDs which will be showing up more and more in our life.
Mixie – Sublime? I need a new KitchenAid so it’s good to know you’re happy with that one. And I think I need a gnocchi lesson from you.
(Jen – hope you are having fun skiing!)
Fun feature! I was able to overlook the fact that it’s from a Yankees fan…. 🙂
I feel like we are the same person. I have a little boy named Charlie who would be the kid peeing his pants over the fire truck sighting and I’m married to an engineer who would really love to get his hands on my kitchen aid to “make it better”. I so get you. 🙂
