Weekly wrap-up

It's finally Friday! This week has been wonderful. I was able to have some "down time" and relax. It's amazing what a little peace and quiet can do for your mood.

Despite the snow and cold, it's actually not bad training outside. Once bundled up and walking at a decent pace the cold air hitting my face doesn't bother me. I walked 15 miles this week and will ad a few more miles on this weekend. On Wednesday I went walking with my team mate Liz at Gallup Park (our usual training spot.) She had some a prior engagement so after 1.5 miles she had to leave. I continued on. It was very quiet out, not many people on the paths since it was icy. I love times like that. I stood at the water edge for a while watching the geese and swans after my walk. Truly it doesn't get much better then this I thought. I think life gets so hectic sometimes that we forget to just stop for a minute, take a deep breath, and take in the scenery around you.

I've walked 80 miles since deciding to walk the Breast Cancer 3 Day. I am really proud of myself. It's nice to have the support of friends and family too. Some of my friends are joining me on walks even though they aren't going to do the 3 Day walk. They are there for support, stories and laughs. This has been a great experience so far. I can't wait until official training walks start next month. I am eager to meet new people and share this experience with them
