Heidi and I will be in Cape Girardeau for just a few more days, and then we will be heading back to Alaska. We are here in Cape because I will be presenting a session on blogging in the classroom tomorrow at the Southeast Regional Professional Development Center's third annual Southeast Missouri Technology Conference, Educating Educators Electronically. What a fun way to end the summer. It's been a very busy summer to say the least. Here are some pictures that highlight some of what we've been up to over the last few months.

My friend Luc and I successfully ran the Joker's Wild Half Marathon in St. Louis. It was a good event, but really hot with temperatures reaching over 90 degrees. My time was 2:22. Above: My buddy Luc and I looking excited before the race. Below: This picture was taken right before I crossed the finish line 13.1 miles later. It felt great to cross that line. What a sense of accomplishment. I'm already starting to look for my next race, but want something a little cooler. Suggestions anyone?
