3 Day Blog Round Up for July 23rd - 29th!

I'm almost caught up!  Just one more post after this and we'll be back on track!

Speaking of inspiration, Jenny, of the blog The Big Walk, shared the moving story of Donna H and her husband Jason, the inspiration for her 3 Day walk in this post.  Jenny has been training hard and shared the story of powering through her first 12 mile training walk in this post.  

This past weekend wasn't just the Boston walk, it was also the Atlanta Preview Expo!  Tammy K  of the blog My 3 Day Journey, talks about her experience at the Atlanta Expo here

Cat, of the Fat Girl Walkin' blog decided to give the gym a second chance.  Find out how it went here

As of this past week, the Boston walk is in the books and the recaps are starting to roll in!

First up is John of the 60 Miles 3 Days blog.  Follow these links to read about his experience on Day 1, Day 2 (where my teammates and I make a cameo appearance!) and finally, on Day 3

Caitlin, the Energizer Blogger for Boston who blogs at The Komen Experience has also posted her thoughts on the Boston walk.  Her summary for Day 1 can be found here and her summary of Day can be found here.  Caitlin also reflected on her experience in Boston and the true meaning of the Discoveries flag that she carried during Opening Ceremonies in this great post

In the last of the Boston walk recaps, Lisa of the blog Whining Causes Blisters reflected on one of the highlights of her time in Boston in this post that really hit home for me.  As she says, it's all about the giggling.  

Finally, while reading all of the stories and seeing the pictures of the Boston walk is fun, it is important to remember the true reasons that we are all on this journey.  Ellyn, of the blog Life After Breast Cancer, reminds of those reasons and remembers her friend Lori who recently lost her battle with bresat cancer in this beautiful post.
