Wow, I can't believe we are now winding down the training. This last Sunday we walked just short of 20 km in 3 hours 40 minutes. It was a great day for a walk. It started off raining, but by the time we got walking, it had stopped. The sun just started to peek out from behind the clouds as we were finishing up. So it wasn't too cold, and definitley not too hot. Our walk took us from Granville island, over the Burrard street bridge and around Stanley park. The scenery here is fantastic, and my walk mentor is the best. We have great chats as we are walking and before you know it, we are turning the corner to cross the bridge one more time to go back to Granville island.
In the next few weeks we will be tapering down our walks, so we are ready for event day.
Thank you everyone who has donated, and are helping me to reach my goal. I am half way there, and will continue to raise funds for about a month after the event. So if you have a friend looking to make a donation, let them know, it is never too late.

I am training and raising funds to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada's Team In Training . I am completing this event in honor my friend Penny Crockett who passed away this last winter and in honor of Mike Pachon a person I consider family (my brother's father in-law)who was recently diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. I hope you’ll visit my blog often and see my progress. Thanks for your support!

Long Weekend
Yesterday was another amazing walk. We completed 19km and had our best time yet, 3 hours 40 minutes. Now I know if you are a runner, that is a long time, but for a walker, like me, that is a pretty good time. The weather has been great for training, and recovery Mondays have been getting better. After such a long walk, you can imagine what my legs feel like the next day, but compared to what those who have cancer go through every day, it is nothing.
We are getting closer and closer to our event date, and I need everyones help to reach my goal, so dig deep in your pockets and help out. Every dollar brings hope!
