August is almost over and I have been training every week. On Sunday's we do the long walks. This last weekend we walked 16 km. But the weekend before that we walked 24 km in about 4.5 hours. Not a very fast rate, but we completed the walk. Training is tough at times, but not as tough as what those who have cancer have to go through. To date I have put both my pelvis and right knee cap out of alignment. But it was nothing that a trip to the Chirpractor couldn't fix.
We are down to the wire for fundraising, so any of you who are thinking about sponsoring me, please click on my link and donate. The cut off is October 1/10 and our event is on October 17th. Please help me beat my goal and to do this in honor of my friends and family that have been touched by cancer.

Sunny Weather
Wow, it sure is great to have the sun... hope you are all wearing your sunscreen. On this coming Saturday I am having a Quilter's garage sale, but there will be other household items too. Look for it on Craig's list and in the North Shore news. Training is coming along. This coming Sunday we are doing 10km and it's gonna be warm. Thankyou to everyone for the donations so far, keep them coming.

Beautiful weather for a walk
Hi everyone,
On Sunday we did a 6 km walk and then went to the office where the Team in Training staff gave us some great fundraising ideas. Who is up for a bowling night? What fun would that be! We could have a fun family even of bowling. I will check this out and send out the invites. You get to have a great afternoon with you family, friends, and kids, and at the same time support a great cause.
My other fundraiser that I have going at the moment is a draw for a quilt. Tickets are $2.00 each, or 3 for $5.00. I will post a picture of the quilt as soon as can either figure out how to do that on this blog. lol
Also, anyone who wants to help me meet/beat my goal, I am collecting pop bottles etc. I would be happy to come to you to pick them up, or you can drop them off at my place.
Until next time,
Kate

Training is in full swing
Hi everyone,
Welcome to my Blog Spot. I hope you are able to use the link above to sponsor me for this wonderful cause.If not, please leave me a comment, and I will send you the link directly.
Training is in full swing. I have been walking two to three times a week. Sundays is our group training where we get together at Graville Island. What a beautiful city I live in. This last Sunday I did a 10km training walk. Have to eventually make my way up to 21.5 km for the big day in October. On Wednesday's I have been walking around the Boulevard here, in North Vancouver. Round trip from home is about 3.5 km. Now to start the hill training... walking home from work should give me some good hill training.
Check back often please as I work on my training.
And thanks for supporting me.
