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: The weather this weekend was awesome. Special shout out to Hubby who went on a 9 mile walk with me on Saturday! I was supposed to go on a walk this morning, but that pain in the tendon on the top of my left foot has come back and more severe this time. I decided to give it a rest and walk tomorrow instead. I still need to figure out what is causing this pain!

Thoughts on fundraising: I had another couple donations come in this week and I’m almost to my goal!

Miles walked last week: 9
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,270

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.

    Happy blogiversary! What a fun giveaway. I would choose Baking Illustrated from Cooks Illustrated since I already own Dorie’s book, don’t think I’d make cake pops and although I love Alton, don’t think I’d use his cookbooks.

    I keep doubting about starting a blog. And here you are already three years running! *applause*

    I too would probably go for the Baking Illustrated book, because of (hopefully) the extra information to make me a better baker!

    Our Little House — August 9, 2010 at 2:10 pm

    I’m torn! But after serious thought, I think I would choose Baking Illustrated because I love Cooking Illustrated, so this book must be great. Or maybe the donut one…mmmm…donuts…No, def Baking Illustrated!

    Good Eats! Cake Pops! Good Eats 2! (Is it legit to choose three?) If I had to pick just one, I’d probably have to go with Alton Brown. Love Alton Brown. Book 1, since I don’t have it and should probably start at the beginning.

    Happy blogiversary! Great cookbooks…it’s a tough choice between Donuts, and Cake Pops. Both would be lots of fun for me and my girls in the kitchen! They’d probably give the slight edge to Cake Pops just because the end result would be so cute. πŸ™‚

    I would like Baking Illustrated because I LOVE Cook’s Illustrated and I’m sure they have everything down to a science.

    I am SO GLAD I found you by stumbling over here when looking for chocolate peanut butter cupcakes!

    And you are the first blogger I ever emailed about something random – the salted caramel cupcakes that are the only thing I’ve tasted that’s better than your oreo cupcakes.

    Murfra — August 10, 2010 at 9:40 pm

    Hey Jen, what a cool idea! I just found your page today and am loving it!
    As for the cookbook I would choose, it’s hard to pick–especially since I am a cookbook collector and just LOST all my cookbooks when our basement flooded during one of the spring storms we had here in MA! They were in boxes b/c I had moved recently and they were all just destroyed…and it killed me to toss them!
    So, I think Dorie’s book looks very interesting so that is the one that I would say I’d choose! Good luck to everyone!

    Three years! Really hard to believe, but then again, all those good recipes you’ve posted could fill a book – maybe you should think about publishing one of your own!
    In the meantime, I’d love the Eary Years cookbook by Alton.
