Wow - running!

I don't want to be hasty here, but it seems like all of the pieces are coming together. A couple of weeks ago, I felt as if I was finally learning how to swim, and since then I've been moving through the water more like an overgrown jellyfish (rather slow but somewhat graceful) ... and less like a hyperactive head of broccoli. And just in the last couple of days I've been feeling like a genuine runner-type. Yesterday I went for about 7.5 miles in an hour, and I was very surprised at the lack of effort this took. So the whole getting in shape shebang hasn't worked out so badly after all. I hope I can continue my newfound exercisey ways after the big Big Kahuna day. And fundraising is hopping - there's still time left, y'all!
