ASPCA scheduled a special photo-op for me - #1 Coach!
The photo-op is scheduled for this wkend! What a busy wkend we're having already and it's only Saturday! I'll share the best photo soon... so be sure to check out early next week!
Rach is on the run!
Rach & I drove up to New Jersey for Mother's Day weekend. We arrived early Friday! I took a nap while Rach visited with her family. Then I woke her up early Saturday morning. Well, I did let her sleep in a bit until 7am, opposed to the usual 4 or 430am!
She almost got out of running because she was invited to breakfast with her parents Saturday morning. She passed on the breakfast invite, which her parents completely understood.
I was right there when Rach finished her run on Saturday. Here's a picture of me greeting her at the door! Ok, so she came back to my room to get me to tell me the good news! I still woke her up to go run... I'm such a good Coach!!
-Coach Slippers
p.s. Go Team ASPCA!!

Quick Paws-t... every one counts!
I'm writing this post or as Slippers calls them "pawsts," before officially going all-out public. I've decided to return to running and Slippers has a lot to do with it besides being my #1 Coach. I've completed 2 Half Marathons with Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA)Team Challenge for personal reasons and now would like to run for those without a voice... the cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and pets of America that suffer or need our help to live quality lives.
I selected Slippers as my Coach, not because she's my cat, but because she reminds me that I should wake up every morning... even though it's 4 or 430am... and be thankful and happy we have a warm & safe place to live. Not everyone (including those cats, dogs, hamsters, and pets of America) does.
This morning, I woke up and chose to run instead of bike to work... that is run before going to work. I'm going to gradually increase my running distance and endurance so I'm ready for July 22, 2012 to run those 13.1 miles in Chicago. Cheer me on as I take this journey... let's not let Slippers or those cats, dogs, hamsters, and pets of America. Let's help ASPCA give them their voice to be heard.
