I went for a jog yesterday afternoon and this morning. Edmonton is a gorgeous city with a beautiful waterfront and trail system running past the Saskatchewan river. There is one caveat to Edmonton though, winter lasts an exceptionally long time. As one fellow colloquially put it, Edmonton has two seasons: Winter and July.

Anyway, I’m gonna go running tomorrow morning and hopefully I’ll get a chance to take some pics this week and post ‘em online.

So, BlogDesk is back working again and I am RESOLVED to be a better blogger if it kills me. Several posts got gummed up in the machine and never made it to the web. Sorry about that!

So, what’s happened in the last month?

• Together you guys have rallied and helped me raised almost $1300!
• I have been vigilant in my training maxing out the miles running, biking, and swimming
• I have had several trips, both business and family and have been training in interesting locales.
• Succesful open water and transition training this weekend at Lake Joe Pool.
• Prepping for several weeks of work in Edmonton, Canada which should make for an interesting training locale.

And now, here’s a group photo from the T4 training Way to go TEAM!

A very special thank you to Stub and Nancy Mock who donated to the cause! It was great seeing you guys this weekend. Thank you so much!

A special shout out to Jacob, Tricia, & Dylan Favre! Your donation will go to supporting a great cause and helping inspire meet to keep up the training for a great finish in September.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

At the Honored heroes breakfast last week, I took the time to sign up for the National Bone Marrow Donor registry with marrow.org . This is a national index that provides matches to cancer victims in need of a bone marrow transplant.

For more info on the mechanics of Marrow and transplant process see the above site or visit Wikipedia’s Entry.

If you have the opportunity, I suggest you sign up, it’s painless to sign up and you could save a life someday!
