"Aging is an Endurance Sport... I'm just trying to keep up!"
I am training for my first Olympic-distance triathlon: 1 mile swim; 25 mile bike; 6 mile run. This crazy adventure is a fundraiser to honor the endurance and courage of the seniors I work with at the Sno-Valley Senior Center.

Banner Day!!



Well, HUH-llo, today kicked off my fundraising efforts with a BANG!
You folks donated $325 today toward this effort!! I found out about it while I was out on my run, and lemme tell you, it made me kick my heels up with glee (and pick up my pace too)! That brings my total so far to $410. Already!!

AND today I got new running shoes!! (don't worry, no funds donated were harmed in this purchase). This may not seeeeem like all that big of a deal. But. Take a look at them there treads.
Yeah, I know - there are no treads. These puppies are OOOOLD.

Shoot, I was going to upload pics of the new shoes - but apparently 2 is all this post can handle. I'll show 'em off later.

Thanks again for the donations!!
