Half-Time!!!

Today I received a donation that put me exactly 50% of the way to my fundraising goal --- thank you to everyone who has supported me so far, I truly appreciate you!!

If you have a someone you'd like me to add to my "I'm walking" list on the left -- please email and let me know!! I will be carrying all of these names with me on the walk and would be honored to remember your loved ones too.

StepToIt.org -- Coming up soon!!

I am getting good at finding fun things to do that involve walking! I signed up to be part of "steptoit.org" which will run from May 17 - June 13. This even pits 18 communities in Hennepin county against each other to see who moves the most! It's sponsored by the Minnesota Twins baseball team and even the Mayors of the various communities have bets going.

Check it out here.

If you haven't checked out "Meetup.com" in your area -- you really should! There are so many great groups to join -- with interests in everything from walking to politics to beer tasting to coffee to dancing to bowling... you get the picture.

This week I joined a couple different walking oriented meetup groups -- so that will help keep me motivated and out there moving my feet!

This morning I did an event for the American Heart Association called "Start! Heart Walk". It was in Uptown and they gave you little maps to follow and businesses along the way offered discounts. I saw some very interesting sights, found a "free" bike that I took home to ride and tried bubble tea for the first time -- and I got in 4 miles of walking!


In addition to this event, there is a big walk on June 5th that I'll be participating in with my company. The American Heart Association is another cause dear to my heart as my dad is a survivor of a triple bypass and I lost a few of my grandparents to heart disease.
