I have been training for the 39.3 mile, 2 day, Avon Walk for
Breast Cancer. This will be my 2nd year to participate in the walk. Last year was a very emotional and
psychically taxing. I made it through the first 26.2 miles on the first day
slowly but surely. I opted to stay in
the tents last year, and won’t be doing that again! After walking 26.2 miles
and sleeping in a tent, getting up to walk 13.1 the next day wasn't happening!
After about 1 mile the following day I reluctantly called it quits. I called my dad and had him meet me at the
next rest station. He tried to pick me
up on the road, but I wouldn't let him. I sobbed like a baby for about 30 min
feeling defeated and like a failure. One
time I tried to get out of his truck and continue but the facts where I just
couldn't go on. This year will be
different. I will finish. I will stay in
a comfy hotel with a hot tub. I will be
the top of my game the next day to finish! I know that I must take training
seriously to get ready for this grueling walk. I am up to 6 miles so far, and
I'm set to clock 12 miles total this weekend.
I will be ready.
I also have a challenge of raising at least $1800 to
participate. As of right now I only need
$467 more to reach that goal! I you would like to donate please follow the link
