167 days to go...

OK...it's been a while, but I finally have stuff to report. I officially started training today with a 5-mile walk around Valley Forge Park. I met some very nice people that are also participating in the 3-day. I'd put their names, but since I can't remember all of them, I'd feel bad just putting some of them...so I won't. I have raised $708 to date, with about $353 pending in matching gifts from Quest Diagnostics.

My training goal is to walk 650 miles between now and the end of the 3-day. I'm going to try to post some sort of meter that keeps track of that on here. Another part of my training goal is to lose weight. I don't have a specific amount by a specific time in mind yet, but I will attempt to post weekly pictures starting today. No...I will not be posting my weight...at least not at this point...the pictures should tell the story well enough.

Training for this week will be 4 days @ 3miles each (Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun) with 30 minutes of cross-training (I'm going with Dance Dance Revolution because it's too fun!) on Friday. I'll actually be walking 5 miles on Saturday with my training team so that will be a total of 14 miles in the next week, putting me at almost 3% of my goal.

OK...time to figure out how to put a slide show on this thing!
