Karen’s Training Log
Training log for Avon Walk for Breast Cancer 2008
Follow along as I train for the Avon Walk 2008 in New York. I will be updating this information periodically, so check back to see my progress.
Earthbound Angels makes the list
Earthbound Angels made the latest Avon Teams newsletter. We are one of 47 teams who have more than 10 members. We currently have 16, which means we have preferential tenting on Saturday night. A few of our team members have already decided on the team-hoteling option. As far as I’m concerned, Marriotts are only a half step above camping. I’ve been a little spoiled with business travel, having stayed at the Ritz Carlton, W, and similar hotels. Of course when it’s my dime, I stay at Comfort Inn or similar establishment. 
You’ve got to love some of the team names. People are so creative.
From the newsletter:
TEN TEAM MEMBERS, ONE HAT AND YOUR OWN ROW OF TENTS!
While there are benefits of being a team, there are even more benefits of being a team of ten or more. Team Captains with teams of ten or more walkers will receive an exclusive 2007 Team Captain Hat! Teams of 10 or more are also eligible for TEAM TENTING. Team Tenting provides you the opportunity to choose your tentmates before the event and they will already be assigned before you arrive! This will help cut down on check-in time for large teams and ensure that everyone has side by side tents. I’ll be distributing more specific information to eligible teams as we get closer to the event.
