Avon Walk Weekly Update
It’s time again for my weekly Avon Walk update. 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: Yesterday was the first day of spring and the weather in Boston was beautiful! Hubby is up north snowboarding, so my friend K and I went on a walk Friday night and Saturday during the day. On Saturday morning (before our Sat walk) I noticed some pain on the top of my left foot. It was worse when I walked quickly, so K and I had to have a pretty slow pace. We also took a break where I removed both shoes and rubbed my left foot about half way through our walk. I didn’t a quick internet search and it looks like it’s caused from not stretching your calf muscles… If anyone knows more about this, let me know.
Thoughts on fundraising: A couple more donations showed up this week, which is great! I’m getting very close to my goal of $2,500.
Miles walked last week: 11.7
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,170
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.

Oh my God! Oh.My.God. I have been looking for a strawberry chocolate chip ice cream forever!! Actually thought about making it myself.
Never tried Graeter’s but I love a good ol’ vanilla ice cream
Facebook follower of Graeter’s!
I love that you moved from Cincy to Boston… becuase I moved from Boston to Cincy! Haha. I do plan on returning to Boston at some point, but for now I can be happy walking 10 minutes to the Graeter’s shop near me. 🙂
Anyway, my favorite flavor is… well… a tie between black raspberry chip (duh) and toffee chip. Yum!
They all look so good, but I think I would try mint chocolate chip!
I love dessert hybrids, so blueberry pie would be what I would order at Graeters!
OOOOh Ice Cream. I love ice cream. I would want to try the caramel flavor (I’m in the middle of an obsession)!
