If you want to heat the pepper + contents, I’m sure that would be delicious too. I was just too lazy 😉

    I haven't done the 3-Day but I did do the DC Avon 2-Day walk last year! I trained for about 4 months and slowly increased my mileage. I think that reason, along with plenty of cross training (elliptical, YOGA, pilates) and good shoes helped me avoid injury. Good quality running socks kept my feet comfy and she should train (and walk) in running shoes over walking if she has the option. I'm happy to share more of my experiences offline too!

    I love stuffed peppers. Last time I made one I put smoked salmon, white beans, and corn inside of it. Delicious!

    YES - feta cheese, such a good idea. I had stuffed peppers on my meal plan for tonight and now I'm totally going to pick up some feta on the way home from the library.

    Haha, OMG I just made stuffed peppers tonight! We must have been telepathically channeling our food cravings. That's so weird! :) I commend your friend for participating in this worthy and amazing event. My friend does this every year too. I think one of these years I will join her! Hope you're having a great week!

    Thank you so much for the support Anne, you are so freaking amazing! And thank you to all of your awesome readers for their words of encouragement, this will be fun but tons of training. Thanks for keeping me company over the phone on my walks so far and you know there are more to come! 60 miles, here we go! I think Im more worried about the camping in Seattle part...yay rain!

    I'm sorry to hear about Jessica's Mom, we are all cheering for her! I donated! The 3 Day is intense, I have only done 1 day breast cancer events so far but I hope to do the 3 Day soon. Best of luck Jessica! :) Cya in August!
