I started out my day yesterday by getting up at 3 am. I met up at my friend Laura's house and her friend Billie took us to Tarrytown. There we met up with another walker, Kathy, and her sister drove us down to Pier 84 in NYC. The walk started around 7 am and was a little slow getting started. Our group decided to stay on the fringe of the crowd so we wouldn't get stuck on the pier. It turned out to be a great idea! We crossed the Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and George Washington Bridge. Got to see lots of cool sights and fun people. The cheering stations were the best!! They definitely helped pick up your spirits!! I finished the 26.2 miles around 5pm (had multiple breaks and lunch in between). Thankfully there were "tent angels" at the Wellness Village that set up our tents for us. I could barely move. I was able to get in line for the showers rather quickly, eat some dinner and hit the sack. I was in my sleeping bag by 6:30 pm but couldn't get to sleep because of all the noise and the pain of the hard ground against my aching body. I had earplugs in, but could hear everything like it was in my own tent!!! I think lights out was around 10 pm, then I got to toss and turn....now I remember why I don't go camping!!! Ouch!!! Then around 5:30 this morning, people thought it was time to get up and make noise! When I finally drug myself out of my tent around 7:30 I could barely move and some of my team mates had already left. My friend Laura offered to come pick me up in Jersey (she had went home for the night....has a bad back and knew she couldn't stand the camping out part). I couldn't get a hold of Chris so I took her up on it. It felt so good to get home and take a shower in a "real" shower and take a nap in my comfy bed!!! Some of my team mates went on to complete the additional 13.1 mile today and to them I say congrats and make sure to take your Advil tonight!! I can't wait for my massage tomorrow...and hopefully my blisters heal quickly! At least it was all for a good cause! Next time I'm doing a smaller walk....thinking maybe the Susan G. Komen 5k walk....can definitely handle that!!</span>Marlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594166079191545492noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25642859.post-82179190245357917102007-10-07T15:05:00.000-07:002007-10-07T15:22:29.958-07:00Avon Walk for Breast Cancer NYC 2007<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXQCNpCU-ZtVJTNvVnrGQnAw-nVyIx0Jpi6qfQvFrNqrI0sR7CCz37mt6-YtnaRBxMleFKUt2QgFDSOZz3oAd72DMbtNCGx4MN049aLV7Hv9fM5GyqKJlt3d-PBWzdoCRLHnUQ/s1600-h/Laura+&+I+halfway.jpg"></a><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Tc8_QoqreatbtlT3nhvr7gJrwm5NIrPpPuqWWpeRtMbvTe4IemCRYRwjDQkTYd7GdrHbnI9M6aSt97vDTFPM_UfLAyRKx7tDEjXGGO4YdTQRSnUPThIVpO8QuLbNlJnesHJS/s1600-h/westchester+walkers.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118720604378504018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Tc8_QoqreatbtlT3nhvr7gJrwm5NIrPpPuqWWpeRtMbvTe4IemCRYRwjDQkTYd7GdrHbnI9M6aSt97vDTFPM_UfLAyRKx7tDEjXGGO4YdTQRSnUPThIVpO8QuLbNlJnesHJS/s320/westchester+walkers.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Westchester Walkers</span></strong></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">L-R: Marla, Laura, Liz, Kathy, Karen, Jenn, Nancy</span></strong></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Here we are on Pier 84 ready to get this walk started!!!</span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnIzD0UOqZ_WU_5FOo7sw-6YVfrWxeD4zUhucZl9-p3BLBVRbtbdOW4OKMiCBCXWP9-mlVNkXRB6uHFQJowmcVmMhevRYeNb7qfvVcWpJtwpBkK_hgI8LbLl60dCgN3dR2Bgv/s1600-h/ready+for+the+Manhattan+Bridge.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118720608673471330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnIzD0UOqZ_WU_5FOo7sw-6YVfrWxeD4zUhucZl9-p3BLBVRbtbdOW4OKMiCBCXWP9-mlVNkXRB6uHFQJowmcVmMhevRYeNb7qfvVcWpJtwpBkK_hgI8LbLl60dCgN3dR2Bgv/s320/ready+for+the+Manhattan+Bridge.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Ready to cross the Manhattan Bridge</span></strong></p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><span style="color:#cc33cc;">We crossed three bridges....this was the first...</span></p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"></p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><br /></p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6x6iFQfylZNLePq0nXYxIkewxBl25Z0V6LMJAVgfaDTWATvQvEts541q_ag1t4fXMMZZPhLuqqX_f-xEvIpNLO5OMeSt-wmF8_XFrjcaJuDCwA3-_6dsydpqrUiBsDifDZ7E/s1600-h/Brooklyn+Bridge.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118720617263405938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6x6iFQfylZNLePq0nXYxIkewxBl25Z0V6LMJAVgfaDTWATvQvEts541q_ag1t4fXMMZZPhLuqqX_f-xEvIpNLO5OMeSt-wmF8_XFrjcaJuDCwA3-_6dsydpqrUiBsDifDZ7E/s320/Brooklyn+Bridge.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">The Brooklyn Bridge</span></strong></p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><span style="color:#cc33cc;">This was the second bridge we crossed....it was pretty cool!!</span></p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"></p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZp9eeNS0szLgrDDSW7fi9cBSaQHhNh7LLk4h3f-j4DdvR01dW62xpJyHB47VFNHOYZ5Wo2wPwXh3to-_EAVYdkHApJU3LhDJ6wi17HNKs_BaLDLTKQt8BOyZzqmn9FarwiIfQ/s1600-h/walking+across+the+GWB.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118720621558373250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZp9eeNS0szLgrDDSW7fi9cBSaQHhNh7LLk4h3f-j4DdvR01dW62xpJyHB47VFNHOYZ5Wo2wPwXh3to-_EAVYdkHApJU3LhDJ6wi17HNKs_BaLDLTKQt8BOyZzqmn9FarwiIfQ/s320/walking+across+the+GWB.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Crossing the George Washington Bridge</span></strong></p><p align="center"><span style="color:#cc33cc;">This was the last bridge we crossed.

This is such an important cause to me because this year, an estimated 40,000 women will die from the disease. Breast cancer takes another life every 14 minutes. Another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 3 minutes. An estimated three million women are living with breast cancer. One million of them don't yet know it. As part of the event, I pledged to raise money. People can make donations on my behalf, so that I can reach my fundraising goal. With the donations raised, the Avon Foundation will provide support and resources for women affected by this terrible disease. This will help so many people in our own community and throughout the country. Any amount you can give is great; I just appreciate your support. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.Thank you for supporting me always, but especially in this challenge; you really do make a difference.<br /><a href="http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR?px=3622153&pg=personal&fr_id=1285&s_tafId=154272" target="_blank">Click here to visit my personal page.</a>If the text above does not appear as a clickable link, you can visit the web address:http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR?px=3622153&pg=personal&fr_id=1285&s_tafId=154272Marlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594166079191545492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25642859.post-50634706523452510402007-08-01T18:17:00.000-07:002007-08-01T18:20:32.695-07:00Big scareWell, quite a few of you know about my recent scary experience. I was going down the stairs to our basement and my foot slipped and I tumbled down the stairs and CRASHED into the cement wall. I almost blacked out. Chris took me to the ER - 4.5 hrs, an X-ray and CT scan later they determined that I just had a concussion and cervical neck strain. Thank God! Since I work on a Trauma ICU my mind was immediately thinking the worst....subdural hematoma, etc. So glad it wasn't. I'm still a bit sore, but was able to work yesterday and today.Marlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594166079191545492noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25642859.post-33521325427501744182007-07-06T11:31:00.000-07:002007-07-06T11:53:44.914-07:00OBX Fishing Trips<div align="center"></div><div align="center">This trip to the Outer Banks I decided I wanted to go fishing too!!

Mom had put change in them. Vincent had a lot of fun finding them and Colson enjoyed putting them in his mouth! :) Then some of us watched the Veggie Tales Easter DVD. I say some of us, because several of the others were napping! Matt & Miriam (my cousin) came over with their family in the early evening for supper.

I figured it was a fool proof plan....the meals were all there, I just had to pick which one I wanted for that specific meal. No thinking of healthy foods to eat, just focusing on my school work. (Only 38 days until the final, by the way!!!!) Today was my second day eating their stuff. I ate their chicken salad on melba toast today for lunch. Approximately 1/2 hr later I noticed my scalp was extremely itchy. Then I happened to look down at my arms and saw big welts forming. Then I looked in my rearview mirror and saw my neck was covered in hives and my face was starting to itch and turn red as well. I quickly stopped by Stop & Shop and picked up some Benedryl (the kind you put on your tongue to dissolve....I figured the quicker it gets in my system the better). I quickly called my doctor/boss and he told me to take 2 and call him if it wasn't better in 10 minutes. I continued to drive home and by then my tongue was starting to swell and my chest was feeling tight. The itching was getting progressively worse and my face was all red & puffy. So, I took a detour to Putnam Community Hospital ER. After 2 1/2 hrs in the ER, 500 mL of saline, 50 mg of Zantac, 125 mg of Solumedrol and a nebulizer treatment of Albuterol & Atrovent I was released. Thank God for the TV in the room - it helped pass the time! The whole episode was definitely scary! (Side note: my dad has been rushed to the ER on several occasions for anaphlyaxic reactions and I don't want that to be handed down to me via his wonderful genes!) As soon as I got home I called NutriSystem and cancelled my account and got the okay for a refund (after I send it all back). I'm sure the shipping isn't gonna be cheap....imagine....a huge box filled with 5 weeks worth of food! Oh well....at least I'm not trached and on a vent somewhere!! :) Oh....and I'm STARVING!!!! Thankfully I have lots of fruits and veggies to eat!!Marlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594166079191545492noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25642859.post-13652449655970176922007-03-19T14:43:00.000-07:002007-03-19T14:54:57.177-07:00More Pics<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdNfht5pGD6kPmZAwcpc2YUdrve4HT2WDT419oOf8uFuGCcRWo6y_zEBxNlxbh9oh-3okLTrm7fAKChcvMIPqGpti9xhXtR1Unsv7gpU2OhRGp_5F3azEyC5V6oU5N3tkkZnQV/s1600-h/botanical+gardens+12.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043757101246104146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdNfht5pGD6kPmZAwcpc2YUdrve4HT2WDT419oOf8uFuGCcRWo6y_zEBxNlxbh9oh-3okLTrm7fAKChcvMIPqGpti9xhXtR1Unsv7gpU2OhRGp_5F3azEyC5V6oU5N3tkkZnQV/s320/botanical+gardens+12.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58Zj-BCTRm4ZfruX6Ls2MCrQAvwTAy8KQegcYQqnjsLeZxylwnnzhzC9a-26KmZsCEMoqvxx-hA8kX-sj1DvWvg2xjK_8YdcFbh0GAsRGBURNmJunIRp9f2YlTOn61ijKQbsQ/s1600-h/elephant+baths+5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043757105541071458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58Zj-BCTRm4ZfruX6Ls2MCrQAvwTAy8KQegcYQqnjsLeZxylwnnzhzC9a-26KmZsCEMoqvxx-hA8kX-sj1DvWvg2xjK_8YdcFbh0GAsRGBURNmJunIRp9f2YlTOn61ijKQbsQ/s320/elephant+baths+5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiluqSTJKZOnIG58SttLgQmcUVaLW0YrnJHbPBduZCnpxabM5fWpBtEPld3KB92e55f68bKlnWcff3Zp4aUdNloPbPIyAB9mDv_r-zOM_Dp53zEFYMxSOJtemxBc3Tq4u7ypmIo/s1600-h/downtown+chiang+mai.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043757114131006066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiluqSTJKZOnIG58SttLgQmcUVaLW0YrnJHbPBduZCnpxabM5fWpBtEPld3KB92e55f68bKlnWcff3Zp4aUdNloPbPIyAB9mDv_r-zOM_Dp53zEFYMxSOJtemxBc3Tq4u7ypmIo/s320/downtown+chiang+mai.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctrZhwdBoHg9hDxo5RSLIE3yhNrVM70P-RjPxc62O3lnCY5TYDYkOjWYrl1zQRS8IEviDvY61mw3YOuTprCxCJ32sMLI872hroaalSXA2oqnozA8oSUA9zDNvFRnbkZrx16wc/s1600-h/flower+market+9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043757122720940674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctrZhwdBoHg9hDxo5RSLIE3yhNrVM70P-RjPxc62O3lnCY5TYDYkOjWYrl1zQRS8IEviDvY61mw3YOuTprCxCJ32sMLI872hroaalSXA2oqnozA8oSUA9zDNvFRnbkZrx16wc/s320/flower+market+9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZRqmcBeMHSutTe1LNHl5FKdhqCXayEfF0OKfdtELmL-A65s0ILJl3Qwajsh7k3Neyz0OokfHInSCH2mbSAhVhEyseIa4Sh5XYUKw3a1vOJa9QqqVkcyLh7zquJwhQr1s1-xzw/s1600-h/night+bazaar.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043757131310875282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZRqmcBeMHSutTe1LNHl5FKdhqCXayEfF0OKfdtELmL-A65s0ILJl3Qwajsh7k3Neyz0OokfHInSCH2mbSAhVhEyseIa4Sh5XYUKw3a1vOJa9QqqVkcyLh7zquJwhQr1s1-xzw/s320/night+bazaar.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>More Thailand Pics!
