I'm keeping up with walking, on the weekend I make sure to walk with my team mate once as well... our time to update each other on fundraising plans/happenings as well as to stay in contact with any new info or interests plus to catch up. This weeks walk together was at the green belt in Scottsdale. Such an awesome walk it was cloudy the whole time definitely welcomed since we usually are walking in the bright hot sun. Monsoon season has officially arrived I'm really hoping for the rain to keep coming we definitely need it here.

Stopping by to see my most favorite Hair Stylist this Friday who happens to be the Owner of her own Salon to run by a fundraising event I would love to have at her Salon. Shave & a Haircut for the Cure ~ it would help me get closer to my goal and bring in clientele for her Salon... definitely a win win situation all around!! Crossing my fingers :)

There is a Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the CureTM Preview Expo on Aug. 8th that I'm attending with my team mate such a great opportunity to meet other Komen 3-Day for the Cure participants, attend informative workshops and practice putting up my tent so there are no surprises when the 3 Day is actually here. Can't wait very excited it's my 1st Walk so all this is new to me and I want to take as much as I can in... It's a Journey of a Lifetime!!

Ta Ta for now :)

past the mile mark

YaY I have finally reached 2 miles in just over an hour since my back injury.... Woo Hoo!! I was a bit sore but that quickly went away after I stopped walking. So excited finally geting back to normal and can train more often :)

Short Walk

Finally able to walk since my back injury it was shorter than I wanted to go but it went well... still going to take it slow ~ making sure that I'm not over doing it :)

Meeting with Flicka's in the next few weeks to go over Oct. 23rd Battle of the Band Event that is being held at his bar & grill.

Also having a Happy Hour fundraiser at Toby Keith's very soon... going to be lots of fun while bringing in $$$ for a great cause!!!

A true blue hero

With only 80 calories per cup and virtually no fat blueberries also have antioxidant properties!! Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals which are unstable molecules linked to the development of quite a few diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease and other age related conditions like alzheimer's. Let us not forget they're also a great source of dietary fiber, & an excellent source of manganese... gotta love those blueberries!!

Set back

My training walks have been on hold for a week now due to slipping on a wet spot on the floor.... UGH!! I instantly felt a shooting pain go across my lower back and new that this was not going to be good. The first thing I thought of was that walking is out of the question for a bit which was not something I wanted to do. As the days add up without walking it just tears me up inside that I'm not able to be outside hitting the pavement... I know that healing is necessary before I start back up with my training so that I don't prolong the process of being 100 % again, so I grit my teeth and find things to keep my mind off of it.

What a week!!

Went to the Get Started meeting for the 3 Day definately gives me that much more motivation to do THE Walk... the speakers name was Liz I am so inspired by her determination... since 2004 I believe she said she has either walked or crewed in the 3 day event and has raised over $19,000 OMGoodness that is AMAZING "3" cheers for her and the men and women who "support" her efforts.
.
Also this week I talked with Flicka's and secured a date for the Battle of the Bands FUN~draiser the Bouncing Buddhas will be hosting ~ Oct 23rd, 2010... what a night this will be. Flicka the owner is doing so much for my Team to help us reach our goal, he's an unbelievbly wonderful guy who already does so many other fundraisers with 3 day walkers around Arizona, donations of food, sponsors walkers, gets other companys involved in the cause the list goes on. More details of time, directions to Flicka's and the exciting fun to be had with this Event as the it gets closer!!!

I have started an Adopt a Mile facebook Challenge on my facebook page for all my FB friends to have an opportunity to show their support by adopting 1 or more of the 60 miles I'm walking on the 3 Day if this is done by June 3rd at 3pm I will be coloring my hair PINK the evening before the 3 Day Walk starts... WOW this is huge for me because as my friends know I'm not real fond of the color PINK and I'm very picky about my hair and who cuts, styles or dyes it.... don't get me wrong the color has grown on me since my Mom was diagnosed with bc but let me just say I will be extremely happy when pink is just a color again and the cure is found!!!!

I have a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow so I plan on making up for the walking I was unable to accomplish during this week... and enjoying every bit of the time I have with my Hubster! Hope you all have a fabulishous weekend :)

God Bless

YARD SALE results :)

WOO HOO!!!!!! So excited to say that the yard sale was a HUGE success we raised over $930 to help fund breast cancer research, community programs and screenings that are so desperately needed!!!! So proud of the Team in all our efforts and hard work :)

Here are a few pictures before the sale started... Melissa & Elise discussing how it is a bit early to start eating all the cupcakes the sale had only just begun :) Elise was a bit tired at 6am but definately ready to start selling at the bake sale section.... how adorable!! Once it got on it's way we were way too busy to take anymore pictures... which is a good thing we did not have much left for items the community definately came through for us.... A Big Thank YOU to all who were involved with this event without you who donated the items for us to sell this would not of been possible.
