Making a difference, one step at a time. Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Training on Vacation - Part 2 - Owasso, OK. Still on vacation here in Oklahoma, though now we've moved from my parents' home out in the country into a relative "big city" feel here in Owasso, a suburb of Tulsa, at my husband's parents' home. We woke up this morning bright and early again at 7:00am or so, and were out the door for a walk by 7:40am. We saw a mama duck and her 6 babies, so small and fuzzy. The mama was carefully watching th...

Making a difference, one step at a time. Saturday, July 3, 2010. Training on Vacation - Part 1 - Rose, OK. I'm on summer vacation with my husband and kids, taking 2 1/2 weeks away to visit family across the country. Will I still be training for the 3-day while on vacation? First stop on the trip is a few days at my parents house out in northeastern Oklahoma. Mom and Dad live off the beaten path - ok, they live off the paved road! After an hour (3 miles), we stopped at home for a break. I wanted to do mor...

Well, quite a bit of time has passed since we did the DC 3-day in early October, and I'm just now getting around to finishing up the recap. Sorry about that, for those who are following the saga.

The Big Walk: Thank you Dave!
http://the-big-walk.blogspot.com/2010/10/thank-you-dave.html
Making a difference, one step at a time. Monday, October 11, 2010. I am home now from completing the Washington DC 3-Day for the Cure walk. It was wonderful. It was impossible. It was the hardest thing I've ever asked my body to do. It was an emotional roller coaster. It was a weekend full of touching moments. It was amazing. I have a lot of stories to tell, a lot of special memories, and I will write about them in due time. But the first thing I need to do is say THANK YOU to my husband, Dave. He showed...

60 MILES for BUSTS! Susan G Komen 3-Day for the Cure, here I come! Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Okay I know I'm a chick, and chicks are known for being emotional. but sheeesh! Today I am bummed. Today I am bummed because:. I could not get my 4 mile walk done (go back to school kids! After contacting at least 15 businesses for donations I didn't get a single yes. Just those two things? Feels like so much more. I was truly expecting that to be a much longer list of bum-worthy events. But it's just two. On Sun...

The Big Walk: October 2010
http://the-big-walk.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Making a difference, one step at a time. Saturday, October 16, 2010. My Official Recap - Day 2. Day 2 - Sat October 9 - The Longest (Shortest? Woke up at 5:15am, was a bit chilly at about 52 degrees. Headed to the shower truck. Really impressed by the facilities – a tractor trailer held 8 or 10 individual shower stalls, each with its own dressing stall. There was lots of hot water, good water pressure, and it was nice and clean. Also took advantage of the towel service. The walk on this day left directly...

The Big Walk: August 2010
http://the-big-walk.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Making a difference, one step at a time. Sunday, August 22, 2010. Headed out for a training walk. Even though it's really, really humid and I'll be a stinky, sweaty mess before I get past the bottom of the driveway. Even though I am tired already. Even though I have a slight headache. Even though it will take up all the free time in my Sunday afternoon that I could be using for other things. Even though my feet and ankles are sore from a short but ill-advised walk in flip flops yesterday. OK, I'm off.
