Hello everyone and thanks for checking in. This is my first time ever doing a blog, so bear with me. The purpose of this blog is to log my endeavors on the road to doing the 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer in Philadelphia this year (2007). At the moment, I have no idea when the walk is scheduled b/c I cannot access the 3day website at work (damn firewalls). I'll get that info tonight at the library.
Website for those of you who might be interested is: www.The3Day.org
My road to this 60 mile walk should be an interesting one. For starters, I am not exactly in the best shape of my life. I am currently at 230 lbs! It was my own issue with weight that got me thinking about breast cancer. Being overweight puts you at increased risk for breast cancer (among many other health issues). It also makes it more difficult to detect lumps. So as much as I enjoy the fact that I actually HAVE breasts now that I'm fat, I have made a decision that they need to go (not them exactly, but the fat that fills out my bustline!).
I stumbled across information about this 3 Day Walk while web-surfing and thought "what a wonderful idea". I dislike pretty much all forms of exercise except for walking. Most weekends, I will head into Center City, park my car along South Street, and then walk for hours. Granted, most of it is a leisurely pace. Obviously I will have to step it up a bit in order to survive the 3Day. I will use this blog as a way to document my progress and challenges in meeting my goal of completing my first ever 3 Day Walk.
I hope you will take this journey with me.
