Hi,
I did the walk in 2005 and I am doing it again this year. It's a little harder to train this year because I have 2 kids now instead of one. LAst time the most I did was a 17- mile training walk in August and the heat about killed me. After that I walked about 8-10 miles every sunday and smaller walks in between. I was able to complete all 60 miles without a problem, except it was hot! SO far this year I have been walking 6 miles 2 times a week. When it cools off in the morning and at night I will start doing more. I would like to do a couple of 10 mile walks back to back. If you go on the website they have training walks listed all over the valley. They also have ideas for fundraising. Most of my donations have been from family. Our team will probably do a fundraiser in September.
I'm not sure if I helped, but if you have any questions, please let me know.
Also, what part of the valley are you in?
T.
