Week 8: July 14
Today was my last official walk for this uphill battle fundraiser! And what a day to do this on: It was gorgeous weather here in San Francisco, an unusual occurrence in July when it usually is foggy. We’ve raised $768 so far! This is $232 short of my goal but still a very nice sum! Thank you to all of you who supported me financially and otherwise (you know that I would’ve snug out and taken the bus home a few times 
)! I very much appreciate it! And it’s not too late to donate either – I will appreciate the reward for a walking goal met!
Two things were different today: I carried a heavier load home (shoes and laptop) and I walked with a friend. We had some great conversations from religion to spirituality to relationships and alternatives to marriage. It was a very nice change of pace to be able to talk to a live person rather than listening to podcasts! I don’t have a podcast to review, so this’ll be a short note.

Congrats Rachel – on ALL the achievements! Plus walking in the company of someone else is a lot more fun, isn’t it?!

Yay, Rachel! I wish I had money to donate, but I am just scraping by myself.
But good for you for meeting your goal! And, also, how awesome is it that the walking stimulated some insightful conversation?
