I hate pets and cats

I hate pets and cats. Always have but I do have a good reason. I am deathly allergic to animals and I tend to have problems around pets and cats. Problems like not breathing. Now some weeks I run into more pets and cats and those are bad weeks. They take my breath away and I dislike them. But I shoo them away and they sometimes listen. When they go away I feel better.

Now the last two weeks were a planned vacation from training. A good thing since the whole family is sick. Lisa and I worse than the kids. I mean, "this must be pneumonia" kind of sick. We are just coming around the corner now. We also have heard that blog reader, Jan, is busted up with back trouble--Ouch!!

So I just started to think about next season today. What should we do differently? How can we raise more money? Who will join us? You know, that kind of thing. My friend Ginger called tonight to get some advice. She has a friend with a little kid plus twins. They live in rural Kansas and the little kid was just diagnosed with Lymphoma. Now about next season--why do we race?
