Halifax Here I Come!

So, got the news this morning. I'm on the team!

Time to get serious for real. The games are May 14-20, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This leaves me 11 weeks to prepare. I've been hitting the gym pretty regularly, and I've already noticed an improvement. I'll be making a more concerted effort going forward though. Chris has been awesome in supporting me the last few weeks during the tryouts and such, and has been making sure I get stick to a clean, high protein diet. She's my secret weapon. :-)

I setup the plane tickets for Prague last night, April 19-22. This will be the only Box practice we'll get before heading to the world games, so I'm really looking forward to it. We were originally going to go as a family and take a couple extra days off to be tourists, but instead we decided to save the cash in order to visit Jennifer, Courts and their family in July before they head off to Russia. Russia? Yep, their whole family is going off to work at a mission there for 2 years.

I spoke to my bro Cedric in Seattle the other night, as I knew he was from the Halifax area. He's actually from Halifax proper! He even went to college at the same University that the games are being held at. Can you believe the odds?
