Training Update

It's been a few weeks since I've posted an update on how my training for the 60 mile walk is going. This past weekend I did a LONG hike - I think it was 8 mles or more but my trusty pedometer isn't working well. I'm averaging 3-4 miles a day, and am trying to step up my pace.

I did a beautiful, peaceful walk along the Potomac River while visiting my friend Liz in DC two weeks ago. So my progress is steady - the biggest issue I have is finding the time, so on weekends I try to take advantage of the situation. Don't you hate it when works gets in the way of real life?

Yesterday I went for a 20+ mile bike ride up in Ft. Collins. I was puffing and panting at the end but amazingly I'm not sore today. Thank you Dennis for making me do that!!

In Vegas for most of the week so I will have to hit the gym at the Westin since it's 108 degrees in the shade. You know what they say, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."

WOW!

I'm totally blown away, I just learned that I was nominated for and received the "Spirit of Cisco" award for my efforts in raising awareness for breast cancer!

The award was announced on a Cisco TV broadcast today by our US Channels VP, Wendy Bahr. What a way to start my week! Woo hoo!! What a journey this has been since February. I'm still continuing to train for the Susan G. Komen 3Day Walk for the Cure and I'm now up to 30 women who have gotten their overdue mammograms - thankfully all of them had a good outcome! So far I've raised over $5,000 and I'm the top fund raiser in Denver!! Thank you to EVERYONE who has donated in my name to this worthy cause.

Just so everyone can see how healthy I am, here's few photos from my son Andy's going away party on Memorial Day weekend to wish him Bon Voyage for his summer internship at Yelp! in San Francisco . . .

Cupcakes anyone?
