Hello Ladies! The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is only 10 days away! What should you be doing from now until then?
1. Keep up with your training, but remember to decrease your training as it gets closer. If you have not done much in the way of training, go on a 15-30 minute walk each day to get your muscles moving and to break in all of your walking gear and shoes!
2. Stay hydrated in the days leading up to the walk.
3. Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine, if you can.
4. Don't change your diet in the 10 days up to the event, especially during the final week. Although you should try to eat less protein and more carbohydrates.
5. Check the packing list in the Participant Guide that Avon gives you and on this blog and make sure you have everything you need.
6. Have some stories in mind to tell one another - we have 39.3 miles to chat!
7. Stretch and take care of yourself - we don't want any injuries before (or during or after) the walk!
8. The night before the walk, eat a meal high in carbohydrates and get a good night's rest - we have to be at Solider Field by 6:00 a.m. on the Saturday of the walk.
Can't wait for us all to cross the finish line!
