Affected by Arthritis personally, I have taken on a challenge of training and fundraising as a member of the "Joints in Motion" training team in support of the Arthritis Society. I look forward to completing a marathon in Lausanne Switzerland in October 2012. So please help me and my team raise funds and awareness for the Arthritis Society, a cause we are passionate about, for so many reasons.

Behind on blogging but still workin out and walkin!
It's been awhile since I've been able to get online and do some blogging.
It's been a bit of a crazy couple of weeks but I've still been busy with walks
and gym workouts. Melissa and I did do our Sunday walk and our last one before
Easter Weekend was 17km. It took us about 3hours and 20min and both of us were
a bit sore after that one. I ended up taking Mon and Tues after that as rest
days just to make sure my body was recovered. We left for vacation just before
Easter and so my workouts have consisted of walks along the West coast on
Vancouver Island (I could definitely make a habit of walking in places like
this, so refreshing and peaceful). Gym workouts have been in hotels and the 8
floors of stairs was a great workout for the legs. Oh and I'm not sure how many
stairs I've climbed to the waterslides..lol A few more days and then it will be
back to regular gym workouts and walks. Just alittle over a month to the half
marathon in Calgary.... Kind of excited and kind of nervous!! I have high
expectations for myself for the half marathon. I want to be back at the weight I
was when I did Athens (and holy man being on vacation isn't helping that I'm
sure..lol) and I want to finish the half in 3.5hours. I've done it before so I
hope I can do it again !!!! I am super excited that my teamy Tracy is gonna
walk it with me... our trial walk to the full in October!!!!
