Loc: Pleasant Hill, OR
In May, 2009 I decided to sign up for a marathon (Team in Training) for my 55th birthday. I began training as a power walker.

It was turning out to be done of the best decisions I made in a long time. I was eating healthy, getting very toned, and dropped 40 pounds. Whooo hoooo!

Then all hell broke loose. About 3 months into the training I broke my ankle. Two weeks later my dad was diagnosed with small cell cancer. Four weeks later he transitioned.

Since that time (October 2009) my mom has been very, very ill. In the hospital a lot in the last 2 1/2 months with me staying at her home a great deal of the time.

I live 500 miles from my mother but am able to run my business wherever there is Internet connections.

With all that occurred I stopped my power walking and am now ready to get back into it.

I figured by "putting it out for all to see" I will be even more committed.

And there you have it!

Today I walked my "you know what" off. I was exhausted but happy I did it. I walk nights now because in daytime it's over 100* and too darn hot. I have started walking in place again and thats always a success.

Walking is the exercise of my choice since several problems keep me from other types of exercise. I am walking every morning for 30-40 minutes, although I have yet to see the results. But it does give me a better start to my day.

Hooray for all the walkers. Don't give up.

WB & I walk a great deal because geocaching requires it. So doing that sport is not only fun, but it's good for a person, too.

Kathleen...I'm sorry to hear you and your family have gone through so much but am happy to hear you are continuing with your dream...that shows what strength you have and you're an inspiration for me to get up and walk. Keep smiling and keep walking...very proud of you.

Kathleen,
Sorry you broke your ankle; sorry to hear about your daddy
and momma. Glad you're back walking again, however. It hurts
more to see someone we love have difficulties, than when
problems fall on us personally. God's blessings!

I hope you are getting around okay Kathleen. I broke my ankle at the same time I badly sprained the other one and the broken one didn't hurt as bad as the sprain.

I agree. I sprained my arm once and it killed!
