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.






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. 






I would tackle this cookbook with my best friend! A joint custody kinda deal 🙂
I would keep it for myself but with no special inscription. Just to me.
as a pioneer church planting missionary in rural Paraguay i would have to use the book myself (although i may share with my team mates on occassions). the inscription: May you bless others through your hospitality and food.
I would keep this book for me and the inscription would read “To my favorite paper crafter – keep sharing your creativity. “
(a gal can hope right )

Definitely me! Just signed by her with no inscription – seems weird to tell someone to write something.
