After the 3-Day

I'm so excited to see a comment from Jenne Fromm on my post about the 3-Day. I heard you speak for the weekend in Arizona. Man, it was hot!

Here is your last update for this year about the 3-Day in Arizona.

I joined a team called CRBs (Chests Are Breasts) with 7 other women. The woman who started the team did so in memory of her brother, who lost a 13 year battle with breast cancer in 2005.

Our team fundraising total is currently over $24,400 and we're expecting that total to go over $26,000 by the time all our company matches come in. Yay!

From the beginning of training to the end of the 3-Day weekend, my team and I walked a collective total of well over 2,000 miles. Personally, I think I have walked about 300 miles since signing up for the 3-Day in July.

My aunt is doing fairly well, according to another aunt who keeps us all updated. Chemotherapy is a real beast, as most people have heard. I remember watching my Mom go through it and it was terrible. Of course, that was 20 years ago.

Which reminds me, the 20 year anniversary of my Mom's death is coming up in a couple of weeks. How crazy to think that she's been gone from my life for nearly twice as long as she was in it, yet I still remember certain things about her very clearly.

Anyway, I have a long list of things I need to get done. The 3-Day for 2007? Check! Where to next for me? Hm ... San Diego, 2008?!

First, though, I need to concentrate on school and work. I have a dream vacation planned to celebrate graduation next year. Macchu Picchu would be a heck of a training walk! :-)
