When I was having a coversation with Sandy the other day she was feeling good. I was thinking what can I do to help her feel good when her body is working against her after her next treatment. So I had her local florest take her a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She told me she was going to take them and put them on her dresser in her bedroom if she gets as sick with the next treatment as she did with her last one. She told me she was a flower person and loves them.
Lesson learned: You never know what one thing you do to make a difference with be the one thing that really does make a difference.
I am having trouble getting out walking so I did something proactive to help give myself the push I need. I set up a meet up group in my town http://www.meetup.com/ to have people join me in my walks. The first day I had 4 people interested. Now my walks won't be so boring and I will have company during my training.
Soon I will be having a link set up here for people to be able to contribute to my fundraising for the walk.

Be the change you want to see in the world
Today I saw this quote and thought how true. If you want something in your life to change, you have to be apart of that change. The money I raise for my walk will help make a difference.

Week 1 day 2 September 14
I have been away getting our house in Florida we purchased recently ready for future visits. While I was away I did not train at all. I did get in exercise by walking at Disney and fighting the waves in the ocean so it was not a total loss. I found a training guide on the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer website that I will use as a guide. Today I walked 2 miles at level 3.
This is the site that has the training schedule if you want to check it out.

On another note I talked to Sandy and she had her first Chemo treatment last week. It was rough for a few days and today she is getting her hair cut. I can not imagine how difficult this must be for her, my brother and nephew.
