Avon Walk Weekly Update
First things first, HAPPY 4th of JULY!!
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: Well this time in a week I’ll be on day two of the Avon Walk! Wish me luck! I am not too nervous yet and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing… I will be sure to post a recap when we get back from the trip.
Thoughts on fundraising: Thanks again to everyone who supported my walk!

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your site! I’m in Beantown also. 🙂 I was just wondering what kinds of baked goods you’re looking for. I’ve heard before that they prefer not to have things with chocolate if it will be hot over there (due to melting).
Hi becca – last time I sent chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies. Sturdy cookies or bars tend to do well, but yes chocolate can melt. The FAQ has some other ideas as well. Some people send prepackaged protein bars or other items the soldiers can’t get over there. Feel free to email me if you have other questions.
Thank you for organizing this!! I signed up a few days ago and am really excited to start assembling my package for Jon and his friends.
