First attempts

My friend Jaime suggested I start a blog.....so here I am. This October I will walk an average of 20 miles per day for 3 days to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. My co-workers think I am crazy, shoot even strangers think it crazy. The only people who don't think it insane are other walkers, past and present and their family and friends. I managed to find one other person in the area (Huntsville, AL) to make a team. Now we have to raise this crazy amount, of which I am worried I won't be able to....$2200. That is more scarey than walking 60 miles. 

I am determined to do this though, I have friends past and present with breast cancer. My co-worker has just started her journey and with prayers and medicine hopefully she can beat the odds. On another level, I need to do this walk because I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. If anyone knows anything about it, or someone with it who could offer suggestions I would so greatly appreciate it. I am a very active person, or I was....until I started feeling like I was 90 years old and my bones and muscles hurting to the point of tears. The medicine Lyrica seems to work and I have been able to resume my training. I walked 7 miles today in 2 hours. I will let you know how I feel tomorrow or if I am walking like Frankenstein :)

If anyone reads this, please let me know what type of information you would like to see on the site or if you have your experiences from a 3 day walk with the 3 day organization or with Fibromyalgia.

Until next time
