Scary & Exciting
Well, this past month has been both exciting and scary. Scary because I haven't had a job since October 9th, and I am rapidly running out of money. I have applied for unemployment, but they are in such a back log that it might take a month and a half to receive any money. I have never been without a job as an adult, but I find being in this position a blessing because I now have the opportunity to try something I would never have tried if I had a job. And, that is to start my own business. That is the exciting part.
I have launched Berkshires Dog Runner! It is a dog running service, much like dog walking, only faster.
Nothing would make me happier than to make a living, running. And, maybe if I can get in really great shape over the winter, I can supplement my income by winning a lot of races in the spring!
My diet has been about 50% raw these days. Not anywhere near where I would like it to be. But, stress, as you all know, will make you consider unhealthier options just so you can feel better in the moment.
I think my next race will have to be the Adams, Turkey Trot coming up in a couple of weeks. I ran it last year, and came in third. So, we'll see how I do this year. I know I'm faster than last year, but I'm also about ten pounds overweight.
Anyway, I'll compete as best I can.

Michael, this is a terrific idea for a company. I hope you and your four-legged runners have fun on the run! Nice graphics for the homepage, too.
Michael, I'm sorry to hear you've joined the ranks of the unemployed. I didn't know that you and Kripalu had parted ways.
I think your business idea is fab-u-lous! LOVE the poster you've designed. I wish you much success.
Thank you Trail Pixie and Earth Mother! I think the business idea can work, I just have to keep getting the word out.
