I have got to get better about writing in here!

This weekend was almost completely devoted to 3 Day stuff. Saturday morning I got up bright and early, met Danielle in Snohomish and then carpooled to Bellevue for the Seattle Expo. We got there early to help set up. Controlled chaos would be a good description! I spent the majority of my time manning the training table. I met all kinds of folks including some of the walkers that will be camping with me next month. It was fun to put names with faces! The last 1/2 hour I spoke at the Fundraising Clinic with a couple of the other houseparty speakers. We had full house and I think we all did really well. I did hear good feedback later which was great!

After the Expo Danielle and I rushed back to Snohomish where I met with 11 other walkers and led a 10 mile training walk. 10 miles feels so good now. No blisters, no sore feet, lots of energy when I got home. YAH!

Sunday morning I had 9 walkers that completed 16 miles in Mukilteo. The weather was good and we had a very pleasant walk.

My team is growing again! I invited several more folks to join Kindred Spirits this weekend so now we are up to 15 with a couple more maybes! I booked 2 more rooms at the hotel for Day Zero.

Tonight I have my last Orientation. I'm a little sad because I've enjoyed them so much. On the other hand my family will probably be glad to see a bit more of me at night. I also have a feeling that Houseparties are going to pick up speed as we get closer to the end! Only 52 more days! WOW!
