Avon Walk Weekly Update

Sunday, June 6, 2010

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: This week we had family in yet again. I was able to get a few shorts walks in. Yesterday, Hubby and I did the Great Urban Race and I’m not sure how much walking we actually got in… Today my friend KT and I headed out for a walk then got caught in a thunderstorm about 5 miles into the walk. So that was a bummer.

I did make a decision this week that instead of getting a second pair of walking shoes, I am getting a pair of walking sandals. I ordered quite a few pairs online and will be deciding which one to keep this week. I’ll let you know which ones I decide to keep.

I also wanted to let everyone know about the bag I mentioned last week. It’s great and kept all my stuff dry in today’s down pour. Here is the link to my bag from REI (I got it in grey/black).

Thoughts on fundraising: I got a couple more donations this week. So I’m ALMOST to my goal of $2,500. I also found out about a glitch in the company matching process. Talking with the Avon Walk people, I was able to come up with a solution, but it was frustrating to find out about this issue…

Miles walked last week: ~13
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,464

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 love the tiles behind the stove. Are those tin? It’s all beautiful. I’m totally jealous, and can’t wait to start projects of our own.

We have the exact same set up with the stove, near the radiator which is under a window. I sent my husband a link. We want to gut our kitchen and start over someday

Love what I see so far! The cabinets are beautiful and any extra counter space-even lower-is a bonus!

We redid our kitchen this summer as well and I love how it turned out! It’s so much more fun cooking in there now 🙂 Yours came out great!! I love the idea of moving things around to get more light and counter space 🙂

We’re thinking of possible implementing something similar for a radiator under our kitchen counter. One question. How have the cabinets handled the heat and humidity from the radiator over time?

I have the faucet that I got from Home Depot. If you still have the part number and manufacture of this product could you please send it to me. Little note if you have a leak above the nozzle take the nozzle off a replace the wiring

Thanks
