Avon Walk Weekly Update

Sunday, March 21, 2010

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: Yesterday was the first day of spring and the weather in Boston was beautiful! Hubby is up north snowboarding, so my friend K and I went on a walk Friday night and Saturday during the day. On Saturday morning (before our Sat walk) I noticed some pain on the top of my left foot. It was worse when I walked quickly, so K and I had to have a pretty slow pace. We also took a break where I removed both shoes and rubbed my left foot about half way through our walk. I didn’t a quick internet search and it looks like it’s caused from not stretching your calf muscles… If anyone knows more about this, let me know.

Thoughts on fundraising: A couple more donations showed up this week, which is great! I’m getting very close to my goal of $2,500.

Miles walked last week: 11.7
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,170

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.

My last huge successful meal is the crown roast from Bon Apetite magazine. I almost canceled making it when I found out how much it cost, but ended up making it anyway. I’m glad I did, everybody loved it!

My last hugely successful meal was sundried tomato and artichoke stuffed chicken breasts for 60you people! I have never cooked for that many people at once but with the help of my Mom we pulled it off! 🙂

I’d have to say my Christmas Eve meal. Yummy pork tenderloin, baked cauliflower and my grandma’s spinach that was all on the table within 20 minutes of my planned dinner time. I’d call that a success!

The last hugely successful meal I executed was actually a cookie swap party. I asked people who RSVP’d to bring only a dozen cookies. Everyone brought so much more and brought snacks, too. I was so worried there wouldn’t be enough, I made too much just in case. Instead I had to have one guest make sure no one left without a good supply. And we helped each other set up trays for relatives in nursing homes, nursing home staff.

The spirit of the holidays was incredible and brought a bunch of strangers so much closer. (We’re all snowbirds in a campground in Mississippi)

I made slow roasted pork chops with apples and onions, scalloped potatoes and I baked Italian bread. So simple yet delicious!

I am a vegetarian, but I made Christmas dinner for our family and successfully made the ham. Everyone loved it, thank goodness! 🙂
