This year vs. last year

I need to start working on my Komen fundraising. I just looked it up. At this point last year, I had already raised $2,055!!! I'm definitely not there yet.

I had also walked much farther last year by this time: 44.7 miles. More than twice what I've walked so far this year.

The nice thing is that I still have plenty of time. But wow, by the end of February last year, I had raised the minimum $2,300 needed to qualify me to walk (actually more than the minimum)!

My walking has been going well, I feel good and my foot is not giving me any problems. I am starting to find the excitement I had last year for doing this event again. The walks are peaceful and my two goals for this year are to actually lose weight while doing my training, and to try to increase my walking pace a bit so I don't feel like I'm constantly at the back of the pack in November.

I hope you are excited to see me doing this event again.
