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 weekend was awesome. Special shout out to Hubby who went on a 9 mile walk with me on Saturday! I was supposed to go on a walk this morning, but that pain in the tendon on the top of my left foot has come back and more severe this time. I decided to give it a rest and walk tomorrow instead. I still need to figure out what is causing this pain!
Thoughts on fundraising: I had another couple donations come in this week and I’m almost to my goal!
Miles walked last week: 9
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,270
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 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. 






You know, I finally saw the cookie episode you keep mentioning last night. I caught it on right before bed! 🙂 It made me think of you.
Congratulations to Rachel!! And I would be sad that I didn’t win, but the day after I read your post I found the book at Costco and bought it! Couldn’t help myself. I had even told my husband about it knowing he would get it for Christmas or my birthday…but couldn’t wait.
And it is even more wonderful than I thought it would be! Thank you for the heads up. I don’t know what rock I had been living under, but I hadn’t even HEARD about this book until you posted about it!
And I am already anticipating volume two and three!
hehe – I just sent you an email! So excited to win something!!!
And yes Julie – I taped the cookie episode yesterday too. I always use the “Mrs. Fields/ Nieman Marcus $250 cookie recipe” but I will have to try Alton’s now that I have his book. =)
Thank you!!!!!!!
Yes, My DVR caught the chocolate chip cookie episode too. I can’t wait to watch it again.
I’m planning on reading this cookbook like a novel, front to back. There’s so much good info in it.
Congrats to the winner.
