Letter to the Rector

30 April 2009

Dear Revd Dr Keith G Jones,

I'm delighted to inform you that a (nearly) grand total of 29,246 CZK (1540 USD, 981 GBP, 1095 EUR) has been donated as a birthday gift to IBTS in celebration of its 60 years!

These gifts have come from people around the world (note sidebar) who see the importance of such a unique seminary!

You will notice that previously I had hoped to reach the 1500 USD mark, and though I'm sure many were skeptical it has been done. Yippee!

Thank you for your hard work and commitment to IBTS and your support during these months of training for the Jubilee Jog!

Happy Birthday!
- from one very happy Jubilee Jogger

ps - There is still a promised 50 more British pounds and 100 more US dollars on the way. Plus still a few folk who need gentle prodding (!) to open their wallets and produce a bit of promised change.

Not the Last of Me!

It has been a month and one day, since crossing the finish line in the most beautiful city of the world. And I've got the running itch again! No, I don't need cream, I just need to get out and run!

Ashamedly, only once have I booted up and found myself whizzing through the Sarka valley trails. However, Sunday seeing bits of the London marathon on Eurosport made me think if these popular actors/actresses, singers and human-sized chickens can run 42 kilometres surely I can!
Right?

So, it's in my mind... but first, there's a women's 5K in September here in Prague - much more reasonable as it's something I know I can do AND I still get all kinds of free stuff!

I better get running!

You haven't seen the backside of me for good yet!
