Back in the gym...

Finally back in the gym and getting my butt kick by Joe my personal trainer. He has worked me out twice and today we did legs. now I have pretty strong legs, but right now they feel like noodle, they are so limp...I guess it will be all worth it in the end.

Today also marked the start of the training walks. I did 2 out of the 3 miles I was suppose to do on the treadmill before my training session :). Pretty proud of myself.

Game Night Success...

Last night's game night was a success. It was a small intimate gathering, but I managed to get over $200 to go towards my walk. I also got the chance to network with a few employees of the Boys and Girls club that could help me in promoting some of my other activities....YES! The boys and Girls club rocks!

Also I donated my bingo game to the club as a small token of my appreciation... I will need to do more for them in the future...:)

Jamba Juice....

The manager at my local Jambe Juice is the coolest personin the world right now....The will be handing out smoothies at my fundraising event.

The fundraiser will be a small one, but it will be intimate and alot of fun. Right now I think my problem is getting the word out. I thiought that doing activities that would be fun or that people would get sosmething for paying a minimal amount would be a good thing, but funraising is still hard work.

My right foot.....

Last year about 3 weeks before the 3Day walk I broke a bone in my foot. At the time I did not know this (never broken a bone before) and so I continued to train daily. About a 5 days before walk I was exeriencing the same pain so that Monday I went to the doctor after falling down the steps.
The xrays did not show a fracture so I was ordered to wear my orthotics, but could not due to my swelling feet. I walked! I did 60 miles! After the event I followed up and afer 3 months (and a bonescan) I was told a possible break in my foot. I was put on a Cam walker (Dec. 18, 2008).
Well Wednesday I got the clearance to discontinue the boot! So I can start some moderate walking. I will be taking it easy for about 6 weeks.

Scared

Getting really nervous about my game night fundraiser...
I have 50 tickets to sale and have only sold 2 on my own. I do have a few friends selling tickets for me, and I hope they are being sold..............

I am a nervous wreck
