I also played volleyball in my league on Tuesday night for 2 hrs.

new donors since last post:
Karen Ardy of Service Plus Credit Union,
Marie Payton,
Howard/Stein-Hudson (my employer, aka HSH), and
Jon Simmons of HSH.

My new total (not all showing on the website yet, but soon!): $1,041. Nearly halfway to my requirement. =) Thanks!

today, since it's (finally!) nice out, i'm going out to do yardwork. Among other things, I'm going to scrape and paint the clothesline posts in the backyard so that i can string new line and hang my laundry out to dry.

an update

Not much walking this week beyond Monday evening. Tuesday and Thursday were vb nights, and Wednesday night I attended a charity event. Today, if the weather holds, I will go for a walk 3-5 miles after I finish some yard work, like installing my rain barrels now that (hopefully!) winter is over.

thanks to Jim Danila, Michelle Langone and Tony DiSarcina of HSH as well as Sandy Sailer of A.G. Edwards, for their donations. Total donations stand at $896 dollars, or about 40% of my required $2,200 total. keep those donations coming!

Jim Purdy of Planners Collaborative - the first to donate! =) ;
Alison Felix of PB;
Dad & Rose;
Vito & Nancy Palombella;
Maggie Campbell Jackson of HSH;
John Thomas of Beals & Thomas;

total raised to-date: $746, which is a third of the way to my required amount ($2,200). thanks for all the support.

i got new walking (well, actually, running; but i don't run unless something big and scary is chasing me) sneakers last weekend. i took them on their first training walk today, and they rewarded me with an almost-blister on my right heel. =( i guess 3 miles was too much for the first walk in new shoes.

keep those donations rolling in!
