Walking Map

The 3 Day has posted a map of where we will be walking this year! Please view the map to see where else we will be, besides the cheering stations. Maybe you would rather hang out and watch all the women who are walking 60 miles at a location other than the cheering station? Last year there was one cheering station that, no joke, had people lined up for over 1 mile. Talk about a pick-me-up! I hope there is another one like that this year! So, get yourself out there with all your friends, maybe grab a few treats for us walker, and cheer this strong group of people on! It is not easy to walk 60 miles over the course of 3 days.

I hope to see you out there!

1 Week Away

The walk is now 1 week away! I cannot believe that it is here already. I don't know if I am ready or not ... Seeing how I haven't walked in almost a week it is not looking like I will be as ready as I was last week. Right now my foot is kind of hurting so everyone is telling me to not walk too much before the walk. But it is taking all of my willpower to not put on my sneakers and head out in the morning for a quick 3-5 miles. Hopefully, my foot will feel better tomorrow and I can walk to the SBG International Convention. But at the rate its been going it doesn't look like Will is going to let me walk. He is the one who yells at me when I want to walk. I'll just do the best I can.

Enough complaining... the PINK SPRINKLES HAVE RAISED OVER $12,000! and we have all made the minimum goal to walk! GO PINK SPRINKLES!

Last night the Pink Sprinkles finally gathered as a whole team at Jill's house to decorate our tent covers. Last year we did white shower curtains with pink dots and poofs all over it. This year we are "sprinkling" pink ribbons all over the tents. So, each of the tent covers has pink ribbons all over them. We are also making a "donors" tent and a "fighters" tent. The donors tents will list everyone who donated to the pink sprinkles as a thank you for their support. The "fighters" tent will list anyone who has faught breast cancer. We are in the process of collecting names for our "fighters" tent. So, if you have a name you would like us to add, please just post a comment and we will add it.

Thank you to everyone for your support!

Don't forget to come to the cheering stations next week!

Cheering Stations!

Well, the 3 day is now just 12 days away. I have just about met my goal... after I actually transfer the money we raised from the silent auction to the donations. Thank you to everyone who has donated! It is greatly appreciated. Now, here is the information you have been waiting for... the CHEERING STATIONS! Yes, they have been posted! Please, please, please consider coming out and cheering for the Pink Sprinkles! If you have ever run a race, walked for a cause, you know how much cheering stations mean. Now think if you had to run that race for 8 hours a day for 3 days...

Here they are:

Friday, August 21
8:45a - 11:00a -- Lake Harriet Bandshell! I get to walk close to my house!
11:15a - 3:00p -- Gold Medal Park at 2nd Street South and 11th Ave South (so if you are at work in downtown, try to make it there!)
Hint: we are ending our day at Macalester College ... so maybe you can make your own cheering station around there?

Saturday, August 22
7:15a - 9:15a
Holiday Inn Express in Vadnais Heights 1100 County Road E
10:45 - 3:30
St Paul Regional Water Services

And... if you want to come to the final ceremonies they are going to be at the State Capitol at 4:30. If things go like last year, I hope to be at the Capitol by 2:30! Lets just hope I can make it all 60 Miles again! With your support at the cheering stations, I know I can do it!
