The 24-week training program for the 3-Day includes crosstraining 2x/week. Food for thought for everyone: Researchers at USC found that women who did high-intensity sessions such as swimming or running for at least five hours per week had a 20-30 percent lower risk of breast cancer than women who did moderate activities for less than 30 minutes a week. "Strenuous exercise can lower production of estrogen and progesterone. Increased levels of these hormones have been associated with a higher risk of breast cancer," according to lead researcher Dr. Leslie Bernstein. But even a small amount of physical activity has an impact on reducing risk according to the study. Amen for the pool at my place.
miles walked = 25 | miles to go = 620 | days till 3-day = 150
My name is Sharon and I'm walking 60 miles in November as part of the Phoenix Breast Cancer 3-Day to benefit Komen for the Cure. I have begun training for this event requiring endurance, a few nights in a tent, and $3000+. Please read about why I'm walking and considering donating. Every dollar benefits the cause. While you're here, please visit some of the links on the left and right, and come back often to check in on my progress. Thank you!
