Running

Today I registered for the St. Patrick's Day 5K race: http://www.events.runningroom.com/site/?raceId=2626

I'm going to be running it with Chantelle. I'm looking forward to that. We're also planning ahead for the Mother's Day Run:

I'm contemplating doing the 1o for that one. If I don't, I think I'll do 10 at the HSBC Calgary Marathon 2007:

We'll see how that goes. Maybe next year I'll try a half-marathon.
I've never actually run a race before, so it'll be a bit of an adventure to be sure. I'm most stoked about the race t-shirt (lame, I know). I'll feel so proud wearing THAT at the gym!

Ministry & Music

I got an email from my friend JP this week about the Good Friday service at the Jubilee. He asked me to play saxophone at it. I've played the last few years, and it's always an enjoyable experience. JP gets musicians from Baptist churches in/around Calgary to be a part of the service - I don't know if he just asks people he's networked with or what, but if so, I'm glad I'm at least that networked. Hopefully we'll do an offertory again. :)

I said I'd play, but with a good deal of consternation. I barely play any more, and so I'm decidedly uncomfortable doing it. I wanted to though, so I called up my old jazz saxophone teacher and hopefully we'll get some lessons set up. I'd like to see him weekly until Easter, and then every other week after that, alternating with jazz piano lessons, if I can get in with the teacher I'd like to study with. I don't know if he's taking students or what. It's funny, I called my old band teacher, M, to get my old sax teacher, R's number. Well today M called and let me know that he actually saw R yesterday and told him I'd be calling, and not only did R remember me but he was actually happy to hear of it! I didn't think I was that memorable.

School

So those are some developments. I've been looking at various degree programs for my master's - hoping to start in September 2008. We'll see what happens...The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases. Proverbs 21.1
