My progress

Wow, today was a busy day for me.  I purchased the 26 baskets that I will be using for the Turkey baskets during lunch.  Derrick Wright a co-worker has voluntereed to help me put the baskets together and he will be my support team until I get others that want to help.  I decided that I will donate the Turkey baskets to:

  8 baskets-Soldiers in Eisenhower medical center, Fort Gordon, GA 
  8 baskets-Red cross in Fort Gordon
10 baskets-Two churches (to be determined)

I also got a P.O. box for donations:
P.O. Box 7404
Fort Gordon, GA
30905

This afternoon on what seemed to be the hottest day of the year, I ran 45 minutes.  My goal is to train to time, not distance.  I will increase it by 5 minutes every other day.  Today while I was running, as I began to cool down, I heard a soldier run up behind me and I since my mind was visualizing running through the streets of NYC.  I started to run again...Brought back memories when I lived in the Bronx.  It turned out to be a young sergeant in the need for some motivation... SGT Chambers was the soldiers name.  I ran with the seargeant when I heard the huffing and puffing my drill sergeant instincts kicked in and I started calling cadence.  It took me back to a time and place that I still hold dear in my heart.
 
Lastly, I finally finished my web page.  The url is : www.runningwithwillie.com I will be updating it often as I run and come up with all of these ideas.  However, feel free to give me advice or suggetions to improve the site or just to give me much needed encouragement.
