73 Days and Counting...

Only 73 days until the big event! That is kind of scary seeing as how we haven't logged too many miles yet! Our team has reached $25,471.09 of our $45,000.00 goal. We need to raise $267.52 everyday from now until September 12th, in order to reach our team goal. We have some fundraising plans already set up for while we are at Affiliate Summit. Hopefully, that will help with reaching our goal.

Rain Rain Go Away!

Jen and I didn't make it out for any training together this week because it has been raining here everyday! We could have gone to the gym and walked on the treadmill but that isn't nearly as fun! I walked four miles on Monday with a co-worker who has been walking with us. Hopefully next week the weather will cooperate with us so we can walk around the lake at Cranes Roost Park. We are wondering how many miles our teammates are logging! Are they putting us to shame with training? Come on team...leave a comment and tell us how many miles you have walked!

Sticking to the Training Schedule...

Jen and I are going to try to stick to the training schedule this week. It will be the first week that we will ATTEMPT to stick to it! We would really like to arrive in Seattle in September and be in the best shape of our lives. We would love for the walk to be enjoyable instead of a struggle all of the way through! It is a little more than 21 miles for the week which is certainly attainable! Here is our training schedule for the week.

Countdown: 14 Weeks

Your Training Schedule for This Week:

Monday Rest
Tuesday 3 miles Easy walking
Wednesday 15 minutes Moderate cross-training
Thursday 5 miles Moderate walking
Friday 30 minutes Easy cross-training
Saturday 7 miles Easy walking
Sunday 6 miles Easy walking

Jen and I Get Soaking Wet In the Rain!

Jen and I headed back to Cranes Roost Park and managed to make it around the lake about 1.25 times before it started pouring down raining! We turned around and started running back to our car. By the time we got there we were pretty soaked and it stopped raining!

Jen's and My First Day Training Together

After work, Jen and I headed to Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, FL. Cranes Roost Lake is surrounded by a mile of walkway. It was a beautiful evening. It looked like it was going to rain but luckily it didn't! There was a cool breeze in the air, which helped us to get around the lake four times!

Take the Affiliate Survey and Give Back

NETexponent, a leading performance marketing agency is launching an affiliate marketing research study conducted from the perspective of affiliates/publishers.

The goal of this survey is to give the affiliate community a clearer understanding of:

• How best to communicate with affiliates
• What tools and information affiliates crave
• Better understanding of who affiliates are and what challenges they face

If you are an affiliate or publisher and would like to provide your feedback, I encourage you to take the brief survey. In exchange for a few minutes of your time, NETexponent will provide you with a copy of the survey results.

In addition, for every completed survey, NETexponent will donate $1.00 to Team Affiliate Marketing’s fundraising efforts for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day/60-mile walk!

What a great way to help shape agency best practices, strengthen affiliate relationships and help out a great charity at the same time.

NOTE TO AFFILIATES: NETexponent respects the privacy of affiliates and only aggregate information will be shared.

Shopping for Shoes for the 60 Mile Walk for Breast Cancer

Jen and I headed to the Track Shack in Orlando, FL on Saturday to shop for some shoes for the walk. The staff was ultra friendly and helped each of us fit a shoe to our foot type and the way we walk. We probably spent an hour trying on different shoes and walking around the store to make sure they were the right fit for each each of us. It is important to have shoes that are already broken in when we arrive in Seattle for the 60 mile walk. As new shoes would cause more blisters!



MarketLeverage will match all donations made to the Susan G. Komen foundation in Jen Fluker's name or mine, Debby Phillips.
