[walking] Just over a month and counting...
Fundraising
As of this morning, I'm 80% of the way to beating my goal. Here's some amusing (to me) stats:
58 Donations from 10 States
MD is in the (#) lead with 23 donations
VA is in the ($) lead with over $1200
Average ($) donation is ~$40
Total Donations to date: $2,582.00 (80.7% of goal)
If, by some chance, you've been under a rock for the last 6 months and haven't seen it 25 times already, here is my donation link. If you'd prefer to donate in a non-electronic way, let me know and I'll mail you a form.
Mileage/Walking
Last weekend (3/19-20), I walked 8-10 miles/day each of the two days.
This weekend (3/26-27), my schedule exploded and I didn't increase my mileage much... but I did manage to get nearly 18 miles (after recount) on Saturday and ~5 more miles on Sunday before the ~40degree/10-15mph winds pushed me inside.
OTOH, I was *able* to keep walking in both cases. I wasn't to the point of "can't go on." Only the clock sent me away (to another obligation) on Saturday, and only the thought of getting sick (again) sent me inside on Sunday.
I'm actually psyched about this. I think I really can do this.
And thanks to the generousity of a whole bunch of friends, I may just hit my goal yet!
