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: I really picked up the pace this week. Big shout out to my friend K for walking 17 miles with me yesterday. We’ve had great weather in Boston this week so I was able to get some short walks in during the week and that long walk yesterday. AND, I went to REI and got a backpack for the walk. I was able to use it on the long walk yesterday and it went really well!
Thoughts on fundraising: No new donations this week.
Miles walked last week: 28
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,440
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. 






Welcome back! Glad to hear that things are going so well for you, and even happier to hear that you should be posting some new stuff soon. Also, good for you for taking the time you need. We women don’t say “no” enough and often we end up suffering because of that.

Thanks! It’s good to be back.
Sounds like these past few months have been filled with lots of great things! Good for you for taking time off. I completely understand; I’ve been MIA from blogging for awhile due to a move. How I’ve missed it! I’m hoping to get a post up soon and was planning to post pics of what I’ve been up to lately, too. Looking forward to more posts from you, Jen!

Thanks! Sometimes life just really gets in the way of our little hobbies, huh?
So excited to see you back in action! I can appreciate the honesty around working on your relationship – my husband & I are coming up on 12 years together ourselves (married for almost 6), and I agree that things can get pretty tough! We did a few months of counseling to see if we could work through things, & while we still have some work ahead, we’re doing a lot better now. So glad that whatever you guys have done, it’s been helpful!
Can’t wait to try the Food Lab cookies. 🙂
