Hi Friends and Family

Sorry for the absence recently. I feel like I've been pulled in 15 different directions the past 3 weeks and haven't had time for anything on my own. Here's the short version of Jason's life at the moment:

Get up, stretch, work, go to the pool, come home, eat dinner, go to bed. I've had a friend in town the last 2 weeks, so I haven't really had time to breathe. Anyway, I started running again this week, just 20min at a time, and have been doing the bulk of my training in the pool still. The season is done, so I'm in no rush to come back at this point. I do want to be running by the time I get to Germany next week though, because it will be a great way to see the city. Speaking of which, I finally have my Visa. Ended up being easy once I had the doc's ready. One of the perks of going through Germany for my Shengen Visa is their efficiency, and one of the drawbacks is their efficiency. Works both ways, but I finally got everything together and am set to go. I think I'll get excited once I have some time to breathe, but for now I'm too busy to even think about it...

More to come later...
