Sorry about the boring-looking entries lately. Tom's made off with the camera and is now flying around Devon Island with it, but I promise to post some polar bear pictures and scenery shots when he gets back.
We've found a third adventure racer, and possibly a fourth. Unfortunately I've been off hard-core training for a week and a bit because of an annoying summer cold that keeps relapsing whenever I do something fun. Hopefully I'll be back in the game by next week - as long as a full weekend of softball play-offs doesn't knock me down again (we have 3 games saturday and up to 4 on sunday depending on how we do). Our first race sounds like it's going to be the Sea2Summit race on Aug. 26/27 in Quebec.
Wedding plans are progressing nicely. My wedding dress finally came in last week!! Only 2 months late, but still with plenty of time before the wedding. I got to go see it and try it on again... and now have managed to find all the accessories I'll need except shoes. Not to worry though (so far) because I'm in the process of making them! I'll post pictures when I get my camera back, especially if they work out. Basically they're going to be a combination of cork from a corkboard, cheap orthotics for shape (mostly just because i had them kicking around... not necessary), crocheted jute twine for the sole, and crocheted fuzzy white yarn for the upper. No shoes are allowed in the post-dinner reception room so they're going to be a sandal/slipper kind of idea.

Bek, your shoes sound SO cool! I'm mulling shoe making plans in my head now. Actually, I happened across a knitting pattern for sandals a couple of weeks ago. I'll need a complete photo essay of your shoe making process. I can't wait! And I'm so glad your dress came in, hooray!
