Fund raising

Thanks to everyone for your last minute donation blitz! I really appreciate the support, and I'm sure the animals at Best Friends, the nation's largest no-kill animal shelter do as well. If you love dogs, be sure to watch "Dog Town," the show about the dogs they rescue and rehabilitate. They famously rescued 3 of the Vick dogs, though they also take all animals from all types of situations.

Even though my training is over, the donation site is still active until mid-July. I guess I thought it would take me that long to recover. I am experiencing the post-race blues, where I'm kinda aimless, not doing a whole lot and not feeling very useful to anyone. I have to ease back into exercise and not lose all my gains. The days of lounging on the couch are about over, my guilty conscience is telling me. I will also put a new goal on the calendar, namingly, the 13.1 Marathon (a misnomer) in October here in Atlanta. I'm trying to convince my trainer Shaka to do it with me. She is a sprinter, so we'll see whether she can stand running for that long without getting completely bored out of her mind. As for me, I need to get back to doing something...motivation, please???
