A cold morning greeted 3 Day walkers at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Friday - but the mood was very warm.
A cold morning greeted 3 Day walkers at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Friday - but the mood was very warm. Lots of smiling, laughing and cheering marked the beginning of another 60 mile journey.

Day 1 is in the books! It was a little over 20 miles, and overall I think my feet are doing okay. We had a great day today, with really a perfect day for walking.

Day 2! The forecast was for scattered sprinkles or light showers, of which we did have a few today. . .but to start the day things looked pretty nice. Partly cloudy skies, once again upper 50s and low 60s to get things going, and dry weather off the start line. Another great day for a walk of any length.

Day 3! After 40 miles, it's the last time to get out and see San Diego by foot - the third day of the Komen 3-Day. The journey, for all of us, was about to wind up. Bittersweet, in that the journey to get to where we were this 3rd Day has been amazing and yet is coming to an end. It would be great if this really was the end of the journey for us - but until a cure for cancer is found, it's a journey that will need to be repeated.

After all the training it's time to rest. I made one last trip to the gym today for a final meeting with the treadmill followed by lots of stretching. Now it's time for a break.

So here we are. The Race For The Cure is now behind us and we are in the home stretch for this year's Komen 3-Day Walk. I'm ready. I have been training for months - either hiking the hills or hitting the treadmill - and my feet feel good. There's just one minor distraction... the weather.
The 3-Day is getting closer, and training more furious - and of course the pre-cursor to the 3-Day is the Komen Race For The Cure in Balboa Park.
The 3-Day is getting closer, and training more furious - and of course the pre-cursor to the 3-Day is the Komen Race For The Cure in Balboa Park. That was held this morning. Here at KFMB, we like to greet the walkers, runners, and volunteers early - so when I arrived this morning right at sunrise, you can see a little of the sun's rays already shining on the tops of these clouds.

WELCOME TO BUDDIES FOR LIFE
Breast cancer affects us all. It can strike any woman. Your mother... your sister... your daughter... your aunt... your best friend... even you. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women between the ages of 40 and 55. In the United States, 1 out of 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
We urge you to join News 8's Barbara-Lee Edwards and UCSD Cancer Center as we work together to win the battle against breast cancer. Our goal is to provide you with the most comprehensive information on the prevention, treatment and support of breast cancer. If you have any questions or comments, please email healthcast@kfmb.com.
For more than 25 years, Komen for the Cure has played a critical role in every major advance in the fight against breast cancer, transforming how the world talks about and treats this disease.
