May was a terrible month for training (and accountability) but I am back! I didn't have a stellar week but I walked more miles than was called for this weekend. It felt good. After pushing the boys for seven miles yesterday, today's 4 mile walk was a piece of cake. I invested in my "hydration system" -- who knew there was such a thing? And picked up some different brands of socks to see which ones I like the best.
I'm really looking forward to next weekend when we have some "girl walks" planned. It's been a busy couple of weeks for all of us and I've missed catching up with my friends.
On the fundraising front I am less than $600 away from exceeding my goal of raising $4600 and Linda's Ladies has raised $10,703.28 I am just so proud of us. If anyone has any experience in getting corporate donors/sponsors will you drop me a line? I'd love to pick your brain.

Milestones
It's a big week for Linda's Ladies. It's a big week for me.
When I set out on this journey last year I committed to raising $2300. I was nervous. I hoped I could do it. I was prepared to put my own money up if I couldn't meet that minimum. This week I crossed the $4000 mark. It's unbelievable to me. I am so grateful that others believe in what I am doing. I am so grateful that others share the goal, the desire to find a cure and beat breast cancer once and for all.
When I set out on this journey I did it alone. But I wasn't alone for long. And today, I am teamed up with five other wonderful women who are passionate about this war. And as we linked our arms our impact grew exponentially. This week my team, Linda's Ladies, crossed $10,000! It's amazing. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it. And then I think that we are just one team amongst hundreds of teams and millions of individuals who are joined in battle and the weight of what we are doing towards a collective goal leaves me speechless.
Today I am taking a few minutes to enjoy how far we have come. I am taking a little time to give thanks for the generosity of friends, family, and even a couple of strangers. Today I will celebrate all we have accomplished.
And tomorrow, well tomorrow I'll march on and look back on this milestone week fondly but push towards greater things! Tomorrow I'll keep walking towards a cure.
