walking

there's been a lot of discussion in our house the past few months about walking. ethan is learning to walk (and doing much better thanks to the amazing claudia) and i'm training for a 1/2 marathon. originally i was going to run it. i tried. my knee tried. i decided on behalf of me and my knee that it was better to walk. now i'm having a ton of fun. team in training is amazing and i'm gaining strength and miles in advance of the 13.1 race in january. the most i've walked at once is 8 miles. my knee is still a bit sore by the end but i'm really loving it. i'm meeting amazing people and each week i hear another inspiring story about someone that has battled cancer. today at the training i had to sign my recommittment paperwork which means that i'm in it for the long haul and if i don't raise the minimum amount...well it's up to me to pay it. i really need your support. i need the encouragement and it's really helpful to know that my friends and family are supporting me and on this journey with me. i promise to keep you updated on my progress. in the meantime, please consider donating by visiting my fundraising page http://pages.teamintraining.org/los/pfchangs11/ahytowitz. thank you to those that have already donated and thanks in advance to those that are considering it. all my love.
