With a goal of eventually going back to Spain and finishing my Camino, I needed to take steps to walk on a more local level! I have to admit that I have not been the most active since returning last year from my aborted camino. I had made it as far as Pamplona from St. Jean Pied-de-Port in France, which was probably the furthest I've ever walked. Took about 5 days to walk about 37 miles. So this walk over two days will be more than I walked in Spain! Although, there was a lot more up and down with walking thru the Pyrenees!
So today is day one of my 226 days until I start my walk in NYC on October 17. My first day will be 26.2 miles (marathon distance) and then 13.1 miles the second day (half-mile, obviously!).
There are many different types of walks one can do in the US, but this walk for Breast Cancer is more personal to me. I am, thankfully, the daughter of a Breast Cancer Survivor. It is 10 years now that my mom took up her fight against her first bought of cancer (She has beaten cancer 3 times! and I think with her inner strength, she could fight any professional fighter!). I always knew my Mom was a strong woman, and this only solidified my admiration.
Won't you join me in supporting this event!
