Training Begins              
                                         A few weeks ago as I was checking my facebook status I noticed that I got a friend request from my cousin Ashley but when I accepted it I didn't have any clue as to what she was planning until I saw some of her posts about her MS awareness walk that she was organizing.  My heart beat with excitment because it was my chance to participate in a walkathon just like I have always wanted and the location was perfect so I sent a notice to Ashley telling her that I was interested in joining the walk.  She replied that she would like to have me but that it is a 3 mile walk and that I was free to stop at the half way point if I wanted to.  It was almost like she thought I couldn't do it and I laughed and I replied I am going to start and I am going to finish, with a little training I can do it.  Yesterday when I asked mom if it was okay to do this walk she said it was more than OK but I will have to practice and I nodded and smiled and I said I'm doing it now and yes, that means I am still walking.
                                It's funny because the other day I tried my fitness feature on my MP3 player.  It tracks how many steps you walked, Distance, Time, ect.  For the record the other day I walked 2.86 mi and took 5,121 steps and burned 227 calories.  Pretty amazing huh it seemed to surprise mom lol. It seems like I always surprise everyone in cases like that because when 3 miles seemed to sound like a lot to her but maybe because she doesn't walk as much as I do.  Unfortunately though 2.86 mi wasn't 3 miles and my goal is to walk 3 miles around our neighborhood before the walk but I have till the 28th to achieve that goal so wish me luck! Do any of you notice the changes I made in the blog?  I kind of like it I know it's not that much but I like the little change LOL.
