**SIDE NOTE: If I get struck by lightning on race day, I would like to leave behind a legacy more meaningful than an XXXL casket and a bunch of hernias from trying to carry me...
That being said, you can show your support or disdain for me and do something special by helping out any of the following charities. I figured if I was going to waste everybody's time with this site, we should try to even the karma scale and raise as much money for charity as possible.
If you have a few extra dollars laying around, I ask you to please consider donating it to one of the following organizations. I understand if you're a little suspect about opening up your wallet to some meatball like myself. Rest assured the links below are run by firstgiving.com who is the #1 source to turn to for charitable giving online.
They've been around since 1999 and they've helped thousands of people raise millions of dollars for US Non-Profit Organizations. They're safe, secure, and you'll receive all necessary tax break information via email. The donation is in YOUR name. Not mine.
Just click on the links below to go to your charity of choice:

"And for no particular reason I started running..."
Well that's not me. I'm no Forrest Gump. I hate running.
I have my reasons for running. To give you a glimpse into my life, let me ask you if you've had any of the following happen to you:
- Have you ever had little kids point at you and laugh while you're walking down the street?
- Watched a TV News Report on obesity and wonder if it is your Fat Ass that they're showing from the neck down?
- Have to weigh yourself on a commerical-grade scale at the local meat-packing plant?
- Worry about if the chair you're sitting in is going to collapse at a restaurant?
- Watch in disgust when skinny girls like Tyra Banks strap on the ol' fat suit for an afternoon and then break down in tears because they "know what it's like"?
- Drinking your misery away at the bar because love obviously isn't finding you tonight or any night for that matter?
But that was yesterday. And today is a new day. Today is my day to shine. I'm drawing a line in the dirt and taking a stand.

COMMENT: I have since abandoned this Rocky-style training regimen.
Enjoy the train wreck that is my life...
Enough talking for now, I need to hit the open road. Marathon Monday in Boston is calling my name...
