Why this? Why now?
Honestly, my initial reason for doing this 60 mile walk is purely selfish and I’m not ashamed to say it. I needed a BIG motivational event to get my life back going where it needs to go.
The fact that 5 of my immediate family members have had breast cancer, made this an even more perfect choice. I have had 3 aunts who lost their battle, but my mother and my cousin are both Survivors. (My Mom is 25+ years in remission.)
But I’ve been a procrastinator my whole life. Which most of the time does not get me into too much trouble – I work well under pressure. But I realized that I’ve actually been PROCRASTINATING MY LIFE. I have been sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else have a life. I know one of the reasons I stopped going to church as often was that I kept seeing young people coming in with their families and looking happy and I still have no one. I teach in a position that is not my calling. (and haven’t done anything about it yet.) I still live with my parents (largely due to the job I have not paying enough). I am not happy with my weight, yet I procrastinate about that too. I had huge success but then let it all slide. I find myself being envious of people with significant others and families — and feel left behind by many of my friends, but yet I do nothing to change that.
THAT ALL CHANGES NOW.
I’m taking control of my life and going to DRIVE.. instead of using cruise control. I will DO what I want. I will DO what needs to be done to get what I WANT.
NO MORE EXCUSES!

Welcome
Pink Pear 60 is about my training and preparations for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure 60 mile walk. In addition to raising $2500, and training to be able to walk 60 miles in 3 days, I will be working on losing weight once and for all.
