From Dad...Training is going well. Jordan is swimming 4 times each week in the pool, up to 1.5 hours. I swim about once a week when there is room. Otherwise, I run while Jordan swims. I try to stay true to my mantra that if your kids are working out, so should you. Get it while you can...

Anyway, we ran into a bit of a stumbling block with the youngest ever claim. It turns out a 7 year old has done the Alcatraz Swim. So, we had to backtrack a little bit and we're still not sure if our claim of youngest female ever holds true. In any event, we've gotten some attention for our efforts and turned it into a good cause-Nothingbutnets.net. We believe that it is healthy to have a cause that is bigger than yourself, a mission that goes beyond you. Jordan is thrilled to use her quest of Alcatraz to raise money for kids in Africa.

Next week will be a big benchmark in training. We are going to Santa Cruz and will be able to train in the ocean-that will be an eye opening experience.
