Aloha Minnie,
I am doing very well and my foot is almost completely healed. Been getting my mileage up with the walking again, but will probably only do the 13.1 miles the first day as I have not been able to do the longer distances. Me and my team are less than 3 weeks now until the Chicago Avon Walk and have raised over $77,000 so far! We will be over $80,000 after we get to Event Eve!

Good to hear that you are cross-training while you are travelling. It's actually very good for your body and will help when you do the actual Avon Walk. I suggest it to everyone on my team and others because too much training of one thing can lead to injuries sometimes.

I would love for you to join our team if you decide to walk in Chicago next year and definitely want to stay in touch. We will meet somehow, right? :) And yes, I am on Facebook so look me up or I'll see if I can find you.

I wish you continued success with your fundraising and hope you and your friend enjoy the wonderful journey you will are experiencing!

Take care and see you on FB,
Aloha,
Michelle :)

Aloha, Michelle

How are you? Sorry we missed each other when you were here in Hawaii. Glad your foot is healing. Got your voicemail..I've been travelling in the last 2 weeks from SA, Gettysburg, DC and now I'm in Arkansas visiting my daughter. I'll be back in Hawaii on the 9th of May. Haven't done a lot of walking.lately but doing more of the cross training stuff because of my travelling. I hope you're doing well! My friend and I are thinking about going to Chicago or San Fran for the next Avon Walk next year! Stay in touch my frined. Are you on FB?


All the best,
Minnie

Hi Minnie,
WOW!! I wish I could be doing all my training in Hawaii. Guess I'll have to stay longer next year. :) How are you? I tried calling and left you a voicemail....did you get it? I hope you are doing well and staying on track with training and fundraising. We have just 33 days left until our Avon Walk in Chicago now. My foot is healing, but still not 100%. I will walk as far as I can and hopefully can finish 13 miles (halfway) the first day....that is my goal. Drop me a line when you can....I'd like to stay in touch.
Aloha,
Michelle :)
