Wilkerson Here:  Went to a Christian Concert last night in Cincinnati, Winter Jam.  One of the sponsors was K-Love radio a wonderful uplifting radio station.  While I like some of the artist’s music, some is a little to much rock for me but not the kids.  And it was great to see the all the kids and offered a diversion for some good friends who needed something different in their lives.  The message of the music and of the people who put it on is a vital method of conveyance.  To experience worship while enjoying music in a place of abundance is great.  That is a hope for the people and children of Haiti.  To find hope in circumstances that we consider dire is a sight to behold.  In Haiti it happens but not without our help.  Our caring for their physical needs gives us the chance to help with spiritual needs.  Clean water, food and medical help are all basics we can get to with ease.  For many of them it is days and certainly hours just getting to the basics.  Lets give thanks for our abundance and give money out of our gratitude to the works going on to minister to Haiti.  Go back a page and if you haven’t, plepledge something.  Time is running short to race time.  Thanks

Training:  Ran 3 miles yesterday morning.  Felt pretty good.   Foot guy is doing some orthotic adjustments so we will see if it helps.  Detected a shoe problem and was able to adjust so now just more running will tell.  Going to swim, run and walk a longer distance today.  Will Run and Bike tomorrow if the weather holds.

Wilkerson Here:  Can’t believe how much spam and trash we get in the comments section of this blog.  We get more comments that are useless and of no account than we get real comments.   They try to make it look like someone who is really interested when all they want is a response which will get you more trash and I mean TRASH.    I am always reminded of what the Lord said to Cain when he didn’t do what God wanted.  The Lord said to him, “sin is crouching at your door and desires to have you” Gen 4:7  Sin desires to have us!  So get ready for it.  It comes every way possible.  Even to a Christian blog. 

Training:  Big day.  Got up and did 40 minutes of stuff on the treadmill.  Some incline fast walking, sprinted straight aways and some jog.  Then tonight a 24 lap swim.  3X 8 laps.  Went to a foot specialist today.  We’ll see.  About ready to see a witch doctor.

Wilkerson Here:  Have a great friend in business and in the Lord who is supporting our efforts for Haiti.  He is asking business colleagues to help out.  Supporting one another is key to our togetherness.  We are all asked to do so much because there is so much need.  I am grateful for his help, your help and the help that goes to other great causes.  I am grateful that people recognize their blessings and give out of their gratitude.  Really doesn’t matter where.  It matters that they give back and forward.  I have a friend who ends his communications by stating, “there is no end to the good we might do”.   Thanks for going and pledging to support this work. 

Training:  Good day.  Great weather.  20 lap swim without stopping (used pull buoy) then a 12 mile, avg 15 mph,  bike ride, OUTSIDE!  It was nice.

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.

Wilkerson Here:  Need a prayer or two from you.  Specifically each of you.  Need some healing help for my foot.  Neuroma is back.  I felt I could limp along on the ankle but with the Neuroma you truley do limp when you have one.  Could use some hope that this will pass or that I can make it.  It is very discouraging.  

Training:  Went out to run 4 miles today.  Could only do 3.5 miles before having to shut down.  Struggling!
