It's been a busy week. I know, what's new about that? Right? This weekend I led back to back training walks. There were 25 walkers in Mukilteo (16 miles) on Saturday and 9 of us in Snohomish on Sunday (14 miles.) Both groups were great! Our weather was good, the walkers cheerful and it was actually fun! I did add to my blister collection however so I think I'll be heading to Nordstrom for my old standby shoes - New Balance 1220's. They were really good to me last year and my feet are in the mood to have someone be kind to them!

Speaking of being kind, on Thursday I skipped my lunchtime workout to attend a going away luncheon for one of the gals. Well, while we were sitting at lunch the co-worker that so generously pledged $100 a few weeks ago made a point of asking me how my training and fundraising were going. It was a great opportunity to tell my co-workers what I was doing and how they could help. Guess what? I ended up with 2 checks and promises of more! I probably wouldn't have been nearly as comfortable if I had been the one to bring it up but she gave me such a perfect opening and I am so grateful!
