yippee!

I got my first online donation! Thanks to the great Mr. Shawn Dunbar. What an awesome feeling. I don't think I can thank him enough. I still have so far to go though! I am going to be a fundraising nazi next week, though. I just have to get through this week of school and I will feel like a brand new person!

I ran a little over 4 miles this morning. I actually thought I was going to run more because I just ended up running to Cleveland Park and ran a little bit over there and headed back. On the way back I wanted to stop and let Bama play in the river, so I was trying to run as much as I could in Cleveland Park so I wouldn't have to tackle the hills downtown. But it didn't turn out to be as far as I thought. But still it was a good 4 miles and I was happy with that. 

Bama and I were just running along and I was off in La La Land and BAM! I ran right into Bama. She stopped to smell the flowers I guess and I wasn't paying any attention to her and I practically kicked her in the butt. She of course, jumped and looked at me like, "what the hell was that for? You were running slow, so I stopped to smell the flowers." If you know my dog, you know that her facial expressions can say a lot! So off we continued to run without another incident.

Running from Reedy River Park to Cleveland Park there is a model plane about halfway. On the way back I saw this little boy and his dad looking at the plane. They both seemed really engaged in the plane until I started to pass. I heard the little boy yell out in his best country accent, "I seen the puppy! Look! Look!" It was so cute and funny! I turned around and just smiled at him. It's so funny how some kids are so interested in dogs and others are so scared of them. But it definitely brightened up the end of my run.

Thanks again Shawn! For being the first person to donate, I will bring you back something special from San Francisco! Your donation really means a lot to me!
