Marathon and Catching Up

Hi to anyone who might be out there! I haven't posted in so long but just thought I'd write more in case anyone is still around :)

I'm a little nervous for my first full marathon ever which will be Oct 9th. I've been doing long runs on the weekend and I know I can do it - just don't know how fast I'll be. As you can see below I am running to help raise money for Tails of Courage. My best friend started this nonprofit and she and other volunteers have made so many people and dogs happy by finding the right match and loving homes for dogs that are in danger of being put to sleep. You can click on the chip in below if you care to donate, it is tax deductible. The picture is Caroline, a rescue dog who was adopted to a wonderful home. She even has her own car seat now :)

Its been so long since I checked in I don't know where to begin. I finished law school in 2008 and have continued working in the same court in a different position. It has enabled me to get more involved with volunteering at a nursing home and to run longer races. B is doing great at his job and we are enjoying the early fall activities!

Hello again to everyone and I hope you have had a blessed year, have a wonderful evening!

Running for Tails of Courage

I am running the Hartford ING Marathon October 9th to collect donations for Tails of Courage! If you would like to donate, please click the link below. Keep reading for more details about Tails of Courage.

Tails of Courage is a non-profit animal rescue organization committed to rescuing dogs from shelters. They are entirely funded by donations and depend on volunteers.

They do not have a shelter or boarding facility, but instead rely upon foster homes to shelter and nurture the dogs until a loving home is found. They are always happy to answer any questions about adopting a new pet and will gladly provide any support people may need throughout the adoption process.

In addition, each animal is tested, and upon meeting a series of criteria may be chosen for training as a therapy dog for a Soldier at no cost to the military member.

Their organization evaluates, tests, trains, qualifies and assists therapy dog/handler teams in order to provide loving, nurturing and compassionate visitation in nursing homes, hospitals and psychiatric facilities and other locations where emotional support dogs are needed for America's active and veteran military.
