Avon Walk Weekly Update
It’s time again for my weekly Avon Walk update. If you’d like to see my full training calendar, check it out here or on the left sidebar of my blog.
Thoughts on training: The weather this week was great here in Boston. I was able to get outside with some friends for a couple long walks. I wish it hadn’t been pouring all weekend though… I’m hoping spring will come (and stay!) soon enough so outdoor walking can be a regular event.
Thoughts on fundraising: A couple more donations showed up this week, which is great! I’m only $350 away from my goal.
Miles walked last week: 5.5
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,150
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.

I love that your readers’ favorite recipes are both savory and sweet. It looks like you had a wonderful year in the kitchen and I’ve enjoyed following along!
Great roundup! I still want to make that berry cream cheese.
That lemon cake looks divine!
My favorite is the brownies!

I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight of the coconut layer cake with lemon curd. Just pinned it for the world to see – and for me to make!! ~Megan

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoy the posts 🙂 Happy New Year
I made the braised beef for a special occasion and it was AMAZING! Thinking I might need to make it again, now that you’ve reminded me…

I’ve reminded myself to make it again as well! I can’t believe it’s been a year since I made it.
