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: Another slow wee training wise. I have a coworker who walks every day during lunch so I joined her once this week. Was able to get 3 miles in that day. I’m going to try to join her more often.
Thoughts on fundraising: I had another couple donations come in this week and I’m almost to my goal!
Miles walked last week: 3
Minutes doing cardio: 35
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,340
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. 
Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your site! I’m in Beantown also. 🙂 I was just wondering what kinds of baked goods you’re looking for. I’ve heard before that they prefer not to have things with chocolate if it will be hot over there (due to melting).
Hi becca – last time I sent chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies. Sturdy cookies or bars tend to do well, but yes chocolate can melt. The FAQ has some other ideas as well. Some people send prepackaged protein bars or other items the soldiers can’t get over there. Feel free to email me if you have other questions.
Thank you for organizing this!! I signed up a few days ago and am really excited to start assembling my package for Jon and his friends.
