I did it.
I'm registered to participate in the Susan G. Komen race for the cure on Monther's Day as part of the team for the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists.
I am also supporting the team from Valley Forge Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc of which I am a member.
That was the easy part. Now I have to get ready for the five-mile walk. So far, I've only walked about one mile one day last week before the snow and the rain. (I've got lots of excuses.) But I do plan to get out tomorrow morning, especially if it's sunny.
When I finished my radiation treatment, I promised myself that I would do two things: work with students on a convention newspaper and walk on Mother's Day. I've done the newspaper and now it's time for the walk.
My husband, son and daughter and planning to walk with me. And friends and family who can't walk have promised a pledge. (I'll be seeking you all out this weekend.) If you are thinking of registering, you can go to phillyraceforthecure.org.
See you on the parkway.

I bought leggings for the walk. We should wear matching outfits.

Hi Sandra! The Race for the Cure is a 5K, not 5 miler! So only 3.1 miles!!!! Thought that might make you feel a bit better about your prep! And make sure you sign up as a survivor, the procesion of Survivors is one of the most moving things I have ever seen!!!! Best of luck to you, see ya on the Parkway!!!
