Welcome!

Hello everyone, and welcome! I've created this blog as a way to track my progress training and fundraising for the 2010 Chicago Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and continues to support my efforts for this amazing cause! I truly appreciate it!!

If anyone would like to help out, please visit my walk site here: tinyurl.com/tanyaavonwalk



I went out for my first training walk yesterday, and though it was snowing lightly and pretty gloomy, it made for a great first walk. I started in Wicker Park and headed east along North Ave. toward the lake. I walked about 5 miles in just over an hour. It was a good pace, especially considering that it was along city streets which meant stopping at crosswalks and waiting for vehicles to pass.

Here's a photo I took en route of downtown Chicago from the North Ave. bridge along the Chicago River:





I'm excited to document this process and hope you all will follow me along the way!
