Did a bit over three miles on the treadmill today. Ran most of it. Again, walked a little so I could chat with Laurie. Am very excited because I am getting an mp3 player! Love the way it happened, too. A few days ago, I posted a message to the Dead Runners Society mailing list, and in it I mentioned (in passing) that two things I wanted most in life (materially speaking) were Lasik surgery on my eyes and a portable mp3 player to listen to while I’m running. And so this girl on the list wrote to me today, saying she’s getting rid of an old one, and do I want to buy it for $20? Heck yeah! I mean, it doesn’t hold much, but who cares, for $20?? I’m so excited!

And then, after the gym, I talked to Dawn and we set a date for the fundraiser at the pub. June 21. Mark your calendars! And, I know she thought I was a dork for saying this, but it’s the same day that the new Harry Potter book comes out, and I’m slightly worried that people will want to stay home with their book rather than go out. So, if the people I know are that pathetic (okay, what am I saying? I’ll probably have a copy of it behind the bar with me) I will be missing out on some funds. On the other hand, I’ve decided I could potentially turn this into a funny way to raise more money. Anyone who brings a copy with them to the pub has to donate a buck or two. Extra.
