I Am Walking the 3-Day, You Can Just Give Me Money

This made me laugh. But chaffing is a serious matter, folks. And I’m about to find out all about it the next three days. I’m walking in the Seattle Breast Cancer

Although I’m a little pissy about the fact that the SEATTLE 3-Day starts in freaking BELLEVUE. Uh…not cool. Not cool at all. But my team is very cool, as you’ll see the next couple days. We raised an assload of cash (over $80,000), and we’ve all been training like mad. Yes, you have to train to walk. 20 miles a day ain’t no joke.

I’m not worried about the walking, I used to bartend in platforms. Sure, there will be blisters, but I’m most worried about the food. And something needs to be done about ending the day without beer. How can you expect me to walk that far without a beer at the end…Yes, something must be done about that…

Oh, and do you know what you do to prevent from chaffing? Yep, Vaseline and baby powder. Though my team prefers Bodyglide and Gold Bond.

You can still give me money by donating to the Susan G. Komen foundation HERE. If I can walk 60 miles for breast cancer research, the least you can do is donate 4 times the price of your daily latte.

I’d like to thank my unofficial sponsors:

Big 5 Sporting Goods (Yes, walking shoes are butt ugly, but here they are cheap.)
Kitty Harbor (the carrot at the end of my 14 milers)
The Stephanie Miller show (how would i get through those boring training walks without it!)
Laughing Buddha Ginger Pale Ale
Hotwire Coffee
Too Beautiful Too Live (it’s growing on me)
The Long Now Foundation (I heart Nassim Taleb.)
And of course, ALL OF MY AMAZING DONORS!

    Can’t remember if I donated before, (I donated to SOMETHING…..?) With all the grappa, it’s hard to keep things straight. If I did, oh well, here’s some more $$$. If I didn’t, here’s some $$$ and pardon me for being a slacker.

    Maggie use cornstarch instead of baby powder it works much better, just ask anybody in the back of the house. ps if you ever use the restroom in the kitchen of a restaurant look around and I.m sure you’ll see an open box close at hand. Just don’t use it to thicken a sauce
