New level soon to be introduced!

As I'm only 3 miles away from the infamous Gator Point, I will be introducing the next milestone for 275. I thought it was best to stick with the intermediate "goals", to make the achievements less daunting.

Thus upon reaching Gator, the next level is Zoey. She's a 10 year old Golden Retriever and she lives with her owners at Ashgrove Farm, in Huddersfield, England. Zoey lost her mum, Tara a few months ago. Zoey, not known to bark as Tara was the family "barking spokesperson", is a very happy dog. Her puppy picture will grace the "Current Mileage" level, but I will introduce her via photos, as I reach her level.

Need new motivation levels.

Almost near the infamous Gator Point. I am starting to get desperate for new "movitational" levels. I'm planning to create them from mileage marker 275 through 475, as the 500 level is Flamingo Point. Any ideas?

I picked up the two CDs mentioned in yesterday's entry. They are both good and recommended!

New tunes a coming!

Two new CDs are being released today that I plan to pick up at the Best Buy tonight. The first is Toni Braxton's Libra. The second is Sheryl Crow's Wildflower.

I have previewed both already. Toni was on NPR, while I heard Sheryl's on World Cafe, via NPR. Really great stuff and I recommend listening to them!

More progress....

Slowly working my way to that coveted Gator point. The UF Gators easily made it past the Kentucky Wildcats, but the second half.. That left something to be desired.

My Redskins had a bye week and face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. That's it for now!

Onto the Gator dude

Probably what will be the toughest level to achieve, I'm embarking on the last 25 miles to reach Gator Point.

And then that t-shirt is MINE! :)

Only 2 miles to go and FL trek newsletter

Until the baby manatee level (or 225) miles are reached. And at that point, I've only 25 miles until I can claim that coveted Florida Trek t-shirt.

Since 500 miles is the next big level, I'm deciding to create 25 mile increment milestones once again. Feel free to comment an idea or two I can use.

I've contributed to the FL Trek Ramble, September edition and my wonderful blog is mentioned. It can be found here, and select September 2005. My article is on page 4. Enjoy!

Ah, the pain!

Went for a bike ride (to the Harn Museum) and then for a walk. Oh the pain in the legs. But I did add five miles to my FL trek mile collection. Single digits to the baby manatee goal!

Go Gators! Beat the Vols!

UF Gators football team has their first test tonight against the Tennessee Volunteers. We'll see how they fare. Kick off is 8PM.

Only 13 "miles" to go to reach the final interim before the true Gator point. Go me! Be sure to check out Bogie's blog. He's a cute pup that needed his own space, as it's all about him. Hopefully his mom will update on a regular basis. I'll have to show her some tips.

Panther Cub reached!

Another milestone reached! Panther cub level at 200 "miles". Way cool! Only 50 more to get the coveted Florida Trek t-shirt.

Wild weekend, but now Wednesday

Can't believe it's Wednesday! I was "good" walking all for except Monday. As it was a holiday in the US, I took one from walking too. Amazing only 15 miles until Panther cub level is reached. Sometime this week, if not, this weekend for sure.

Baby panda level - Reached Friday!

I reached the baby panda level on Friday. I took off from work to have a nice long weekend. Now onto the Florida panther cub level. Only 21 miles to reach 200!

Hurricane Katrina - how I'm helping

Due to Hurricane Katrina, I thought I'd share the three organizations I've donated in order to help the folks impacted by the hurricane. They are Habitat for Humanity, Mercy Corps, and ASPCA. These are the ones I chose however there's lots of great organizations who are going to lend support to the folks. I hope I can do more to help, but this is a start.

If you can, please give what you can. Keep these people in your prayers as their situation isn't going to be resolved over night.
