Finally! A fundraising walk on a Saturday instead of a Sunday!

http://www.teamspiritonline.org/

From their website: Come join Team Spirit and friends for this annual 10K walk!

2009 marks our 10th Anniversary of the Team Spirit Breast & Ovarian Cancer 10K Walk and again promises to be the premier walking event in the Long Beach community. Enjoy the scenic route, which winds through beautiful Naples Island, Belmont Shore and the Peninsula boardwalk, offering walkers and volunteers alike the opportunity to enjoy a first class fundraising event in one of the most picturesque settings in Southern California.

100% of the donations will go to the Memorial Medical Center Foundation to fund support groups, treatment and clinical research at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.

I've been telling myself I need to sign up for one of these things so I have to force myself to get into better shape. My morning walks are going okay (even though I'm bored), but progress is slower than I imagined it would be. But I certainly ought to be able to manage six miles at a brisk pace by the end of September.

Anyone local is welcome to join my team (that I haven't started yet). I'll be registering myself when I get paid on Friday. *sheepish grin*

On an only-slightly-related note, does anyone know where I can find some good walking/breast cancer/ovarian cancer/tennis shoe icons for LJ? Cleese will do for now, but if you have recs, please let me know!
