10 More Days to GO!!!!!!

Yikes!!! It's get soooooo close and I am getting really nervous. I know that I can do it, shoot, how many times have I chipped through Woodbrook, up Frederick Street and over the stage for Carnival? :) I know this is definitely doable. Getting these donations in isn't easy either, but I am definitely getting there!! Thank you folks for all of your encouragement and support. If you're in the Fairfax/Falls Church area this Thursday, stop on in at Chevy's for lunch with the fundraising flyer to the right. Chevy's will donate 25% of your food bill to my walk. Thanks folks!!!

Late night 3-miler

Yeah, got it in! Have to get these legs conditioned for the real deal. Wasn't easy on the lungs (these allergies are killing me), but it felt good everywhere else.

Folks - thanks for the support, but throw it up on the blog and spread the word to keep the donations coming in.

Peace
Regards,

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Well thank you all friends and family for wishing me well today. It's a wonderful feeling no-doubt to know that there are people who really have you in their hearts and thoughts. With that said, I am very appreciative of all of you folks who have extended your support through donations, kind words, advice and motivation. Please come back to this page frequently to look at my progress and offer support. Training walk tomorrow, RAIN OR SHINE!!!

Uh Oh!!!! First injury :-|

I was being SOOOOO careful for months. And if you know me, you know that it has been a great accomplishment (well except for my two bowling incidents). Anywho, I have an 8-mile walk in the morning that I am really looking forward too, except I think I may have a nagging injury that may get in the way. I stubbed my toe REALLY HARD on a cabinet at work, and I am not sure that I will be able to withstand the constant impact of my toe on the inside of my shoe for 8 miles. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ugggggghhhhh, I think I'm coming down with the "sickness"

Well folks guess what. All that pollen from last week broke through my daily dosing of Zyrtec. I do believe that the "sickness" is upon me. Believe it or not, it's good to know from now, because I will definitely be amongst quite a bit of "nature" on those 3 days. While I do feel a bit fatigued, I still feel that I will be able to do an 8-miler on Saturday morning through a scenic Mt Vernon Trail, along the 14th Street bridge, around the National Mall and back. I just need to remember to charge the batteries to my camera (let me do that right now). Hopefully I'll still be able to put on my dancing shoes for later that night!!! Don't worry Lane, your Hyperion WILL get done. Once again, thank you folks for the donations! They are coming in one by one. Your support is truly appreciated!!

Thanks for the donations!!!

The donations were slow-coming at first, but I see the faith you friends, family and great supporters have in my effort. THANK YOU!!!

Keep those donations coming in, and encourage your friends.

If you have items in your basement or attic that you haven't used in years, call me and I'll pick them up to auction off on eBay. I'll gladly donate the proceeds in your name and forward the receipt to you for 2009 tax deductions.

Thanks folks!!!

WOO HOO!!!! My first 15-miler!!!

Phew!!!! Can I say whooped???!!! Yeah that would be what I am right now. I am finally arousing from my mid-afternoon nap after doing a 15-mile walk completed in 5 hours. Yes that’s what I said 15 MILES!!!! Yes in 5 HOURS!!!!!! If you know me, you know well that I do not really do mornings very well, but thanks to Nico (yes the pesky mutt) I was up by 5:30am (on a Sunday morning none-the-less) and on the course by 6:45 am.

I was skeptical as to how I would feel starting out, but it HAD to get done, if I am to properly prepare for my 3 days of 20 miles/day. I trained with 4 amazing women who in one way or the other was affected by breast cancer personally. The lady who led the training walk is simply amazing to me. She is so inspired and continues to inspire. She has ALWAYS been a survivor she said. She just kicked cancer’s butt last year just before her first 3-day walk. She doesn’t walk for herself, or her first sister who beat it once, or her second sister who shot it down twice, or her mother who jump-kicked it twice as well!!! She is walking for her daughter, her nieces….and your daughters and your nieces…maybe even mine one day. J Her family has a mutation to their BRCA1 gene.

Folks, I am training, fund-raising and walking for your daughters, your nieces, your aunts, your mothers…and maybe even you one day. This year, I am dedicating my birthday to YOU and those you love…in hope to give you ALL many, many more birthdays. Please support me in making this a highly celebrated birthday, by donating to my participation for the research in not only helping people diagnose faster, but actually finding that cure.

Please donate now (there are many payment options), and continue to track my training progress on here my blog. I will also continue to blog while on my actual walk so that you may track that progress as well. International donations are also welcomed. Please feel free to post your comments, encouragements, tips and motivations here.

Thank you those who have donated and thank you in advance for those I know want to help me make a difference.

Thank you for the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER in advance!!!

I'm back!!!!

Yeah, I did drop off of posting for a bit (and training to be honest), but I am back and getting ready for the count-down. Yes, just one month before the big event and I need to get my mind and body right. The donations are finally beginning to trickle in. Please do not forget to click on my link to the right to make your donation. You have options, and this is tax-deductible folks. You can make it. I started getting my camp gear in order as well today. Yes, I finally made the decision to camp out instead of being a punk and coming home everyday. Thanks for loaning me the sleeping bag Shaynie!! Yeah, I'll be roughing it. Check out my regisitry on www.REI.com to let me know if there is anything additional I should add, or even to purchase an item for me. Well, I will be going to my first packing workshop tomorrow and getting at least 5 miles in. Shout me out if you can!!! Laterz
