Wilkerson Here:  Always amazed that airplanes fly.  On one headed back to the Midwest.  Seems spring is upon us and I couldn’t be happier.  Been with some industry people considering strategic issues.  They were very kind and let me tell them about Run Mark Run.  It is always encouraging when people let you know the worth of your cause.  I  appreciate my colleagues and the importance they put on Life Insurance.  It truly is an amazing product.  A piece of paper that explodes into money just when it is needed.  No one has ever asked me how much it cost when I delivered a claim only how much was there going to be and would it be enough.  I have watched what can happen to a family when there is not enough.  The people left behind can face real troubles.  I encourage you to take a look and make a decision for the ones who depend upon you by sending money ahead.  Someday, might be this day or tomorrow. 

Training:  Got up and swam this morning.  At the hotel, they kept the outside pool at about 80 degrees.   NICE!  Did my laps, still can’t freestyle all the way but getting there.  Then did 30 minutes on the treadmill.  Got to get the bike off the inside stand this week and get it outside.  Trouble with the winter, most of the training is inside.  Really different on the outside.
