Spring Is In The Air.


It's the perfect time for team training. If you haven't yet returned your questionnaire sheet that was included in the team packets, please do so asap so we can finalize the most efficient training schedule.

Please feel free to leave comments here with information if you are planning some of your own training walks this week so that other team members may join you.


And don't forget, the Avon Expo is scheduled for Saturday, April 19th in San Francisco. For those of you who have never participated in a walk, I would highly recommend attending the expo because there are some great workshops that will help you answer questions regarding training, packing, and preparing for the weekend of the walk. Prior to the Expo there are 3 training walks scheduled. Do It !!!! We did the 12 mile one and it really prepared us, giving us a taste of the hills of San Francisco AND it feels REALLY GOOD to know that by April 19th you CAN walk 12 miles!! :)

Expo Training Walk "A" (12 Miles) 7:45 AM
Expo Training Walk "B" (9 miles) 8:45 AM
Expo Training Walk "C" (6 miles) 9:30 AM

Follow this link to find additional training walks in the bay area and to RSVP for the above Expo walks: http://walk.avonfoundation.org/site/PageServer?pagename=sanf_training_walks

Personally, I won't be able to attend the training walk this year because I am attending a wedding that day but I do know that both Sandra Stultz and Maria Silva-Martinez are planning on attending. Again, leave comments here if you would like to attend / participate in an EXPO walk and coordinate car pooling!!!
