Friday Friday Friday...more walking

i actually woke up before my alarm went off this morning, got up, and walked 3 miles before work. it was another beautiful morning along the Charles River. i tried to take a photo of Beacon Hill from the Longfellow Bridge, but alas, I fail operating my camera phone, so no photo. pity because it was a really spectacular sight.

thanks to Sarah Kurpiel of HSH, who donated to both mine and Kate's walks. =-D

keep those donations rolling (and the money came rolling in...)!

happy Friday!

quick lunchtime update

I walked 2.5 miles this morning before work. It was a beautiful morning for a walk by the river, through the public garden, etc.

You'd never know it was sunny this morning by looking out the window now - gloomy and drizzling. =(

Thanks to Arnie Bloch from HSH for his donation to my walk.

Thanks also to Gretchen Von Grossmann of Von Grossmann & Company and Dan Dulaski of Traffic Solutions for donating to my teammate Kate's walk. If there are others who donated to Kate and I didn't see your names on her honor roll, thanks to you too.

Keep those donations coming, and we'll keep walking!

training and fundraising updates

I'm over my minimum now, nearly $2,500 and counting!

Thanks to the following new donors since my last post:

• Neil Boudreau, State Traffic Engineer, MassHighway;
• Wood Hill Middle School, Andover, MA (and Mr. Brodeur's students); and
• Ocean State Signal Company in Smithfield, RI.

Dad and Rose have been here for the last 2 weeks, so not much training has been happening. Last weekend, we poured 900 lbs. of concrete into my front steps to replace a couple that were cracked. I guess the labor of mixing and pouring concrete falls into the "cross training" category. I walked 4 miles yesterday around downtown and the Back Bay. This weekend, I'll log in some more miles.

In other news, my friend Kate Monsalvatge and I have formed team Will Walk for Boobs. Kate still needs to raise a little under $1,000, so if you are considering donating, please consider donating to her and helping our team. You can search her name to get to her personal page or search for team Will Walk for Boobs. Keep those donations coming! We appreciate the support!
