So, I've been encouraged by a couple people to do the Avon Breast Cancer Walk next July. Even thinking about something like that makes me feel anxious. A full marathon (26.2 mile) walk the first day, and an additional 15 mile walk the second day in San Francisco. I do like the fact that it's walking and not running, and I do have a goal of completing a full marathon before I'm 40 (3 years to go), but now I've heard from several different people of all ages and shapes that I could totally do this if I just started training. *sigh* It seems so overwhelming to me, but at the same time, what a HUGE accomplishment that would be!! I would also have to raise $1800 to actually do the walk. I might attend one of the informational meetings to find out more about it. 39 miles in 2 days...I would never think in a million years that someone like me could actually accomplish something like that!
My friend is also challenging me to do 52 flights of stairs with her for the American Lung Association next year. Maybe my friends just want me dead from a heart attack. LOL!
