"Happiness is a journey, not a destination; happiness is to be found along the way not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it's too late. The time for happiness is today not tomorrow."

The Race is On!
We were informed one week ago, ONE, that our training group was going to host a 5K race to benefit a local Home Based Care center. I would like to think that maybe they sprung this on us with such little time to plan in order to teach us some valuable life lessons, but I am afraid that the disorganization and last-minuteness might simply be a indication of how things occur here.
Well, even though we were only given a week to plan it, the race was quite a success and actually lots of fun. Almost 300 kids came out to run and a good amount of rand was raised. Derek worked on the committee responsible for collecting donations from local businesses and I headed up the registration table.
