Avon Walk Weekly Check In

It’s time for my weekly checkin for how my Avon Walk training. If you’d like to see my full training calendar, check it out here or on the left sidebar of my blog.

Miles walked last week: 5.1 – I decided to move today’s 3 mile walk to tomorrow because we’re really busy today and I have some free time tomorrow night.
Minutes doing cardio: 78
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0

Thoughts on training so far: I didn’t get any blisters this week, although I did all my training on a treadmill. It’s been really cold here in Boston, so there’s no way I’m walking outside at this point!

Total $$ raised: $570

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! If you’d like to donate to support my walk, you can make a donation on my Avon Walk page. If you donate at least $5 by the end of January (today is the last day!), you will be entered to win a very cute tote.

    Love those cabinet shelves! They look like a great space saver. I’ll have to look into those.

    Shadow – They are part of Pottery Barn’s Daily System. The post coming tomorrow will actually go through how we made the shelf and include a link to the spice jars themselves.

    Thanks for the info about the spice jars! They’re actually $10 off right now too, so you get 15 jars for $19!!!

    …I might have bought two sets… 🙂

    Can’t wait to see how you guys set up your shelf.

    Hopefully Hubby doesn’t hear the price went down so much. He about had a heart attack when I told him I was spending $120 on spice jars!

    jenshowme – this is the paper towel holder. It’s a bar that gets attached on one side and has an arm sticking out that the paper towel goes onto.

    Use tiered cosmetic cases!
    They’re absolutely great. You can compartmentalize your things easily everything stays together. =)
