Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

I have agreed to walk in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in LA on September 11 and 12. It's 26 miles over 2 days. Those of you who have met me know that I am not in the best of shape so this walk is a huge commitment. It is important to me.

A couple of years ago, one of the most dynamic women I know got a breast cancer diagnosis, emailed her friends and clients and walked out of her office to battle it. She is now a survivor and I will be walking with her.

If you want to support me, there's a button on the right. My Walk page is here and I will be updating it. It will also become a button when I have personalized it some. If you head over right now, you'll see the list of contributors. One form of blog advertising!

I'd suggest training hikes. Walking uphill is a bit more difficult than flat walking. Try jogging - at least downhill unless too painful.

La Canada is nothing but hills! Of course when we hit record highs like today, I'll be on the treadmill INSIDE.

As for jogging, well when I exercised an hour and half every night and had 8 % body fat, I couldn't jog. My gait isn't right I think. So I'd best not try it now.

Apropos of nothing, I biked from the Griffith Park area to north North Hollywood at noon today.

OTOH, I hiked from the end of Lake Ave. to Inspiration Point (about 4 miles/2800' of gain) around 2pm on a hot day last year. There was no one else around, and it took me a very long time to make it the last 100' of gain. I thought I was in trouble, but I wasn't going all that way for nothing.
