8, 10, 13, 18 miles....can do it!!

Well, me and Jen did our 8 mile training walk on 4/10. It was the first time I really walked any inclines in my training walks, so it kicked my butt. We had a blast though, we saw rain, snow and sun all in a few hours time!! We were the ka-boose of the walk(the last ones to make sure everyone was on track).

I went to Vegas this past weekend and had a great time. I did ALOT of walking between the strip and the Grand Canyon. It was alot of walking crammed into 3 days.

This weekend is the 10 mile walk! I think I should be fine. I did 8 miles without any major problems, so I think 10 should be good. I don't think I will have my partner in crime for this one, so it might not be as much fun, but I will make it fun if anything!

Graduation in 3 weeks!!! Only two more weeks of lecture and then I am done!! CAN'T WAIT! Then I can focus on getting my training going!

If you are able to donate, please support our other walkers - Shari, Jen and Amber! We can do it!!

Thank you all for your continued support for our team!

What a great weekend!

Well the fundraiser was a hit!! I think we had over 150 people show! It was a great success and went off without a hitch! We had great baskets for auction and a great group there! I am so happy it went well and so proud of all of those who helped me plan and get everything going! Shari and Jen worked there butts off at the door and were great! Balee was the best and helped me so much with getting everything together! My parents were crucial in getting everything done too! I wouldn't have been able to do it without all of their help!

So I met my goal and was able to help out two of our walkers, Shari and Jen who helped me out immensely. We have 6 walkers and two of us have met our goals. Now we just have to get the other 4 there too! So if you are interested in donating, please donate to Shari, Jennifer, Karen or Amber! You can go to my team page on the 3 Day and donate to one of them. Any donation would be appreciated!!

Now to focusing on graduating in a month! And training of course! I have an 8 mile training walk that Jen Jen(Jennifer) and I are going to go to. Should be great! And now that the weather is better and the big fundraiser is over, I can concentrate a little more on the working out and training aspect of everything.

Thanks again to all of my supporters who made this weekend's event a success!!

Let the FUN begin!!

I can't believe my fundraiser is in two days!!! Two of my best friends are coming in town today and tomorrow, Balee and Shari! Shari flies in this morning and Balee is driving up tonight/tomorrow. I can't wait to see both of them! We are getting final preparations done for Saturday tomorrow after I get out of work.

I did alot of running around after work yesterday and before/after class. Tonight is prepping my house for my houseguest for tomorrow night. Not that there is that much to do, but gotta do my basic cleaning.

I haven't really had time this week to do any training walks, but I will be getting them in hopefully after this week. I have an 8 mile official training kick off walk next weekend, so that should be fun! Then two weeks from today..I WILL BE IN VEGAS BABY!! I can't wait, should be a blast! My cousin Jill is getting married in Vegas!

So much to do and so little time! Atleast after I graduate (need I mention that will be 5/15!!!) I will have more time to do what I have to do.

I hope to see lots of family, friends and new friends on Saturday! It will be a great event!

Thanks to all my supporters!!

Is it really April already?!?!

Ok, so we have 17 more weeks until the 3day!! 8 more weeks till my vacation to KY and TN to see my two besties! 5 more weeks until graduation(think that is the most pressing right now)! 3 more weeks till Vegas!! ONE WEEK TILL THE SPAGHETTI DINNER ---- what a countdown!!

I can't believe I have one week until the spaghetti dinner!! So much to do before then, but I have a great support system that has been helping me through the process! Wouldn't have been able to do it without my bestie Balee and my wonderful mother!

So far I have about 130 people for the spaghetti dinner, so it should be a great event!! I can't wait!! It has been alot of preparation, but will all be worth it in the end!!

Training has been going better, I was able to get in a few walks when I was on spring break. And now that we have some nicer weather I can get some walks in when I am not working and going to class! I just can't walk after class because it is too late by the time I get home. So until 5/15, my walking is going to have to stick to Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Then after that, I can dedicate my time to training. Thank god for nicer weather too! It is going to be in the upper 70s today!! WOOHOO!!

I saw the HUG LADY at Pat Catan's last night and it totally brightened my week! I was having a bad week up until that point and a hug from her made it all go away! I can't wait for my hugs after 20 miles each day!!

Mammaritaville has grown even more since the last post. As of right now we have:
Crew - Balee, Leslie, Gina, Andrea, Terri, Kim, Jeff
Walkers - Me, Shari, Jennifer, Amber, Jaimie, Karen
We have a great team!!! I can't wait for our team to get together and meet each other too since we are all scattered around.

Mom #2 and my dad are doing good! So things are pretty calm on the home front for me right now as far as that. Besides work, school, fundraising and attempting to have somewhat of a social life!

Hope everyone has a wonderful easter!!!

Talk to you all soon! Thanks again for all of the support and encouragement!!
