Training is going well, but I don't think I'll ever be a true endurance athlete. I'm up to 6 miles, 3 times a week, plus the long run on Saturdays. And my body is telling me I was just not made to do this type of thing, with my knees being the loudest protester. I had to go into a counseling session at the gym at work after a recent evaluation of Body Mass Index. Seems that the stats are close enough to obese that I am at risk of all sorts bad stuff. Of course, I feel better than I have in years, and can eat almost anything I want.
Contributions to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society because of Ian have been great, and I thankful for all. It's time for me to hold up my end of the bargain
Today was a chemo day, and either the drugs, or minor sickness have knocked Ian down. But the resiliency of the little guy is incredible. God be praised!

Rockin in Paradise
Below are some pics from Camp Okizu. The log traverse was Caleb's favorite, especially when they added the leap to get the rag, Ian was happy with a straight climb, but ended up doing the log traverse very nicely.
Of course both boys, and daddy, got a kick from the zip line.
To the left is Caleb after one traverse, and getting ready for another.
The white rag he had in his belt was meant to place on a pulley to jump out and grab. Which he did. Cool.
On the right is Ian for the first on the log
Ian and Caleb ready for the zip line.
Just some foolishness to share. Okizu is a cool place, with a cool mission.

Well, I really don't know what to say about this. In my attempt to raise some funds to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, I have failed in a significant way...
I completely underestimated the generosity of our friends and family. I have been touched by the donations that have come in to the point that I haven't known what to say. I truly thank God for the love shown. To those anonymous donors that I will never be able to thank personally, May God Bless and Honor your giving and give it effectiveness in purpose.
I'll write more about it later, but I guess I have really do this now. I did my first run with the group today under clear blue skies at Crissy Field and I felt good. My knee is holding up, but we are just at the beginning.
Also, Caleb and Ian won their playoff game today, with both boys getting a hit. I wasn't there to see the joy in faces, but from what I hear, they acted like they had won the world series. Again, God be praised.
