Wow! As a mom of a preemie, I commend you ladies. I am going to look into when they'll be doing it in our area. ROFL Probably won't be until middle of July. I think it should be warm enough then.

My walk is only 5 miles and I have been tring to train to do it, but the weather won't cooperate. It is either raining or snowing. But I am going to do it. I hope that others have checked into this in their own cities it is for such a good cause.

I wish you both the best of luck and think you are awesome for what you are doing! I recently just walked the "relay for life" for cancer research, it basically meant getting a team together and walking non stop (taking turns) around and around a recreation park for 20 hours. I did this with pride, no sleep and no complaints...you get such an indescribable warm fuzzy feeling (and of course a few tears here and there). Once again..Well done! Good people with good hearts!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
