If anybody wants to review an entire 10 pg report from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research & National Cancer Institute that concludes oral contraceptive & induced abortion is associated with elevated breast cancer risk, pls let me know
I can send you a link to the report published in Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prevention Journal 09: 18 (4) Apr 09
At top of left column on pg 1163 from line 3 - 5:
"Induced abortion & oral contraceptive use were associated with an increased risk for breast cancer"
Talk to the other thousands of awesome inspiring people devoted to the cause on the way... the more the better. The stories you'll hear... The friends you'll make...
If you're even considering skipping camp and staying at a hotel, stop thinking it immediately... Camp is probably one of the greatest parts of the whole experience!
Train on hills - You think I'm talking about going up... I'm not! Train yourself how to walk DOWN hill when you are exhausted (not as easy as you think, but will save your life)
Get used to porta-potties - Do your squats when your legs are tired and do them for a LONG time! You will thank me for that one when you don't have to sit on a porta seat because you just can't hold the squat as long as you need to to completely relieve all that fluid!
Bring extra memory cards and batteries for your camera. You'll need them... but don't forget to take it all in lens-less sometimes because it's those views you'll truly remember... the pics are just reminders
If you can bring music and strap it to a camel pack or something, you'll be one of the most popular people on the route... I tried to stay with the walking boom boxes as much as possible... you'd be surprised what doesn't hurt so bad when you're distracted by music!
Embrace the community and crew out there supporting you... they can't be beat! they make it worthwhile... hell they make it POSSIBLE!
Don't be too proud to take a sweep van if you're injured, particularly in the first day or two. Crossing the finish is what counts and you can't do it with a serious injury
I promise you, you will not physically hurt at closing ceremonies but you will cry. If you don't, you missed out. Screw tissue - they give you a long sleeve Tee at the end for a damn good reason! haha! Directly after, go ahead and hit the ibuprofen before the adreneline wears off ;-)
Above all, HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE! YOU WILL NOT EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE THIS UNTIL YOU DO IT AGAIN!!!
So what's your donation site??? Feel free to post it!!! Good Luck!!!
