It was a GORGEOUS day in Florida today (in the 70's and sunny) and I was suprised to see Leeza awake already when I got home from taking Sean to school.
After a breakfast of the NEW yummy Banana Nut cheerios, I decided it was a good time for a walk-you know, to "train" for the 3 day. Leeza had decided that her doll needed a bath (in Miles water dish) so she came along too because I thought maybe the sun would dry her out.
So, "baby" kept Leeza entertained,(she talked her ear off the entire walk) and off we went around "the hood".
I am SO VERY talented that I can not only walk "baby", Leeza, and Miles, but I can also take pictures, email them out,write a chant,and email them to my team, WHILE WALKING AT THE SAME TIME. It's too bad that no one pays for me very vast talents, because then I would be a total zillionaire and I could fly us all together to do our training walks.
Here are a pair of my "oh so fun" "Fit Flops" (please ignore my horrendous pedicure, it's been over a month since I had one) that SUPPOSEDLY tone your legs while you walk. I just wear them cuz they are super comfy for those of with the "inflexible big toe" issue, and plantar fascitis, and if I can get toned in the process..than I am ONE LUCKY LADY INDEED. I still remember very well my extreme foot pain at the end of day one of the Tampa Bay 3 day walk in 2005, so I am hoping that wearing Fit Flops may help that. Plus, I swear I have seen them in pink patent leather, and that would be a FABULOUS thing.
Interestingly enough, I heard the advertisement for the Tampa Bay 3 day three times on the radio today. :)
I will close with the chant I came up with while walking with my crew today. I think "baby" helped motivate me, cuz she kept looking at me...kinda creepy...
Chant number 1:
We're the KaZ mamas yes we are
To find our kids we traveled far
Determination and strength are no strangers to us
60 miles for a cure's no reason to fuss
We love boobs oh yes we do
We won't stop til cancers thru
Wow, Susan, you don't waste a moment getting down to business! I wish I could multi-task as well as you. I totally dig the sparkly fit flops -- tres chic! Thanks for sharing the fun photos and all your great ideas. You will put a pep in our step for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan for your great post! I am waiting for Tougy to wake up so we can go for a walk at the Y this afternoon. I'm looking forward to warmer weather up here in Maine so we can get outside and do some walking like you and your buddies.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to try on some of the Fit Flops, but the only store in Maine that carries them won't have the sandals until the weather warms up some more. : ) Oh well...
I got out for a couple mile walk today with Ellie leading and Rustam on my back. We walked up a giant hill and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Is that a good start? Good thing I am starting now. Glad to see that you all are, too!
ReplyDeleteNow, i need a pic of that...Rustam getting a piggy back ride.
ReplyDeleteHey Sara..is this a hilly walk? Florida is like, WAY FLAT, so let me know if I need some hill training. :) We have some big ass bridges that I used for hilly marathon training that i can go revisit if necessary. :)
FYI..I did the fit flop thing in last year's walk but they did not work well for me.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER,for a week after the walk they were the only shoe I could fit in!
