To sleep or not to sleep (in a tent), that is the question...

You may be asking yourself, 'What made Beth and Tracy decide to take on the challenge of training to walk nearly 40 miles and raise at least $3600 collectively in a mere 12 weeks?' Trust me, we asked ourselves the same question...

When deciding to participate in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, one must ask herself:

1. Do I have anything planned the weekend of the walk? (Easter is the week before and we're not in/attending any weddings... check.)

2. Am I comfortable with being decked out in pink? (Minor sacrifice... check)

3. Am I capable of walking over 39 miles in two days? (Guess we'll have to start the training to find out...)

4. Will I be able to raise $1800 to participate in the walk? (With the amazing support we've already received from friends and family, we're well on our way :) But another donation couldn't hurt. Visit our personal walk pages by clicking on the links to the right of this post to make your contribution and join us in the fight against breast cancer)



5. Do I have to sleep in a tent???

Nope! You can reserve a hotel room instead of sleeping in "Friendship Park." Which is in Maryland and I'm sure is charming, but for us it sounds only slightly more appealing than sitting through the Justin Bieber movie. So that means we are able to come home, take a bubble bath, open a sophisticated Pinot Noir and have our roommates bring us the Colletti's Smokehouse from Good Stuff after a long day of hoofing it around Washington in our finest pinks.

After carefully assessing the most pressing questions, and guided by our muses from Saved by the Bell, we decided to Go For It!
