Gearing Up for the 2016 Avon 39

Gearing up to take on this challenge again in 2016!
With the Avon 39 just over 3 months away it's time to kick things into high gear and get my fundraising going!

This time I'll be doing the event in New York City, October 15 & 16. I was in NYC last week and it was hard to imagine that in just a few short months I'll be returning and seeing so much more of the city and in a very different way than I ever have before!

Last year to prepare for my inaugural Avon 39 in DC I diligently followed a 16 week training program. Since I have some experience under my belt, and it's completely gross hot out of these days, I'm going with a 12 week plan.

Just like last year I'll have training walks on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, with the Saturday and Sunday distances gradually ramping up to get me ready to walk 26.2 miles on day 1 and 13.1 on day 2 of the big event.

My training plan kicks off in 15 days, which is 12 weeks out from the event and I'd love to have 12% of my required funds ($216) raised by then. 

Donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated and can be made on my personal fundraising page.

Like last year I'll be tracking my progress during training and fundraising with this blog and hope you'll follow along as I prepare for this huge challenge a second time!
