It is Thanksgiving Eve in the Senkowski household (DE chapter). The stuffing has been made. The turkey is ready to go in the oven. The potatoes are sitting water waiting to be boiled and mashed. I have gifts ready to be wrapped for some deserving families, and at some point, I will begin shopping for my own. Life is good...better than deserved by most counts, and I am beginning to get into the spirit of the season.
Today after work, I worked out while watching the Ironman World Championship from 2007 because it has been a rough week and I needed a good cry and a lot of perspective. Mission accomplished there. It also got me thinking that maybe everyone else is starting to be in the giving mood, and it would be in my best interest to let everyone know how to give to my charities! Here they are, in no particular order:
Challenged Athletes Foundation: http://www.firstgiving.com/ginasenkowski1
National MS Society, Delaware Chapter: http://www.firstgiving.com/ginasenkowski2
City of Hope:

No donation is too small. I mean that from the bottom of my cold, black heart. I am also going to figure out how to accept cash/check donations if that is the preferred giving method, and I will pass that along as soon as possible.
From this point forward, I swear my posts will have less to do with pandering for money for three very deserving charities and more to do with the insanity of the training and any resulting injuries. No better way to work off the turkey and trimmings than swimming/biking/running until my body gets angry enough to shut down.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
