6 Days to Go - Kicking it Into High Gear

So I'm starting to feel the pressure. First off, I'm being forced to fund raise for not one but TWO sources. Mom's got about $300 to go to reach her goal, and dad's got just over $500 left to raise.

As if lending my handsome mug wasn't enough, they actually expect me to walk around to "prepare" - whatever that means. Does the park this morning count? I even went around the far side of the pond. Come on, help me out here!

In the meantime, if you'd visit

Training Log Day 26 - Work Ruins Workout

I was perfectly ready to go this morning. Bring on the hills, I said. Bring 'em. Let's run. Let's jog. Let's do whatever it is you do to train. But they left to "work." And took both cars. And I can't drive.

Lazy bastards.

Training Log - Day 18 - Sleep Ruins Workout

So I was going to train. Seriously, nose to the grindstone. But then... I happened to stumble across the couch. And "they" weren't home. And you have to understand, that's the only time I can enjoy the couch. They have this weird thing about me and furniture, but what they don't know won't hurt them. Because frankly I think the whole thing is absurd and elitist. I think of it more as a political statement, ascertaining my individuality, and an equal share in this family...

But I digress. Where was I? On yes, the couch. It's very comfortable and soft. They did good, picking it out. And the arm has a great little nook to rest my head. And it's very very cozy...and...I...started...getting...slee....(yawn)....

Training Log - Day 15 - Rain Ruins Workout

I was serious when I said I'd be training for the Nuts For Mutts walk. Is it my fault fall came to LA with a thunderstorm? Did you EXPECT me to walk in the rain?

I did go to the park this morning. There was a carnival. And a rooster. I like roosters.

Training Log - Day 1 - Cricketers Ruin Workout

How am I expected to get in shape when people play cricket in my favorite off-leash field? Do they have a 5K walk coming up? I think not. Might as well go home and get a treat.
