3-Day Update and a Giveaway
By Laurie | June 24, 2010
I am starting to get geared up for serious 3-Day training in the next few weeks. I believe there are about 20 weeks until our event in Dallas. As you might expect, it is HOT here. That makes training a lot more of a challenge. I plan on trying to get out as the sun is setting and at least get in some 3-4 mile walks. It is harder, especially when I don’t plan out my week though. The good news is that 16-week training kickoffs will be happening soon, so I will be able to renew my enthusiasm.
On the fundraising front, I am only about $650 shy of the minimum needed to participate in the event. I am looking forward to being at that goal so that I can focus my attention on training. $2,300 is kind of a daunting amount of money to raise, but I have been very lucky to have great friends and companies who have helped me out. Obviously I still have until November, so I am optimistic. We have been busy with fundraisers, which you can read about and follow on our 3-Day for the Cure blog. I car hopped at Sonic over the weekend with Nikki and our husbands! Yes, in the heat! It was a lot of fun! Craig and Nikki had pink glittery hair. There are a few pictures up on the blog.
| Also I wanted to mention that Deuce Brand has designed a Komen Pink Ribbon watch and will be donating $2 from the purchase of each (they are only $20) to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I love mine, and they are offering to give away two to my readers. Hop over to Our3Day.com for the details on how to enter.
I have been wearing it everywhere and am getting so many complements. It is perfect for working out, and raising awareness at the same time. They also come in a rainbow of colors, and I have to admit I’m tempted to buy a bunch of other colors to coordinate and accessorize. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week! |

I’m starting to struggle in the heat too … I carry water and try to go out early or later but some days it is a push! That is an interesting looking watch – is it like a bracelet?
Posted by: FionaHi Fiona! It has been especially difficult because I get up for work at 5 AM, so early walks for me are nearly impossible. Of course it would help if I wasn’t up late like I am now. Ha!
It is like a bracelet. It slips over your wrist like a bangle. It reminds me of a silicone awareness bracelet, but much thicker and more durable. Definitely a perfect workout watch.
