Week 24!!!!

So today begins the 24 weeks of training (according to the 3 Day training schedule)! Only 24 weeks to go? Don't panic! Get going Chestie Besties!

So last week i bought some new shoes, body glide, & a waist pak! (waist pak makes me feel a little like i'm in the army since it has 4 small bottles - pic coming soon!) Jaret was with me & I think the shoe guy made him nervous when he was telling us how he admires the walkers because he couldn't walk for 3 days & how he is happy that i'm starting to train & that i have a team around me. Jaret was really quite as we walked out of the store! he is excited & proud of the Chestie Besties! hopefully the guys will be home from the UK to be at the finish line!

On another note...so i've been walking a few times over the last week. i go to the gym & that is an easy walk with all the action, etc. i walked outside on Thursday - alone. i realized that it is lonely with no radio & no bestie. (i gave in & put on my ipod!) i also realized that there is a lot of yard art in the world! basically if you are in to something, you can have yard art to commemorate it. if you like sports, get yourself a metal golf bag rain gauge. if you like animals, well you can have your pick of just about every animal God created in every sort have material! if you want to tell the world something, you can have a sign such as 'love grows here.' you can have metal, wood, a wind sock or a small church replica with a glass steeple. very interesting...

well, i'm off to find me a metal replica of a Chestie Bestie wearing a waist pak for my yard!
