Sorry to hear about your Father, Linda.  Sending  prayers your way.

oh, all of these 2013 marathons!  exciting!  hurry, Kyla, stop waffling!

no racing for me, just enjoying family, friends, and trying to survive the end of year work crush!

Disney is pretty cool at Christmas!  back to reality and SF in a few hours

edited to say, what happened to my formatting?!

While I can't say I achieved everything I wanted to in 2012, I have nothing left to do this year except enjoy friends and family time over the next couple of weeks.

I officially kicked off my marathon training last week for a late March race. Looks like we're going to have quite a few people gearing up for some fun--me in March,  Julia in April and Kyla and Trev in May!  Anyone else? I think Chet said something about doing a few....maybe?

Linda -- sending you warm thoughts and well wishes for your father. I'm glad you are able to be there with him. HUGS.

And everyone else, quitcherbitchin'!!!!! I'm in!! Vancouver 2013 -- BRING IT!!! (Although reading reviews about some hill placement and 8k of headwinds near the seawall made me tentative... But I always need something to whine about, so it's all good. Whimper whimper whimper.)

Steve -- looking forward to long runs with you, yeah! Free up your schedule on Thursdays or Fridays, as those will be the days I wanna throw down some miles. You can just join me for the last 8-10 and listen to me whine. Or you can yell at me as you are want to do and make me work harder. Either is fine.

And yay! I get to meet Trevor!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet before you know it a few other MG'ers might jump on board.  Didn't Fatty show interest?

26.2 miles is 20 miles longer than Fatty has ever run. Plus running at sea level in Canada wouldn't interest him.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!! Anyone considering a Jingle Bell run or other race this weekend?  Tell us about it.

If you're not racing, do you have a SBR goal to knock off the list before the New Year? or have you achieved everything you wanted to in 2012?

I don't thing that is quite accurate.  I happened to be in Galveston with you clowns and I could have sworn he did a full 13.1m that day.  Of course, I didn't see him the entire run so I could be wrong.

On Slowtwitch they outted him for cutting the course in Galveston! 

And if they hadn't... DOING is vastly different from RUNNING.

Thanks for all the warm wishes.  It's been a rough few months, but the service was amazing.  I held up fine until the naval honor guard played taps and gave us the flag.  My kiddos lost it earlier.....I don't think it was really.....real, until the service.  They handled it beautifully - Beth spoke at the service, the boys were ushers.  So many spoke about my Dad's smile, and his laugh - and I see it so much in my kids.  Bittersweet moments.

Big reception at our house after, over 100 people.  Amazing: the lives my Dad touched, and the support of my, and my siblings', friends.  Yeah, bad grammar, but y'all get it.

Looking forward to Christmas......and Jeff's 50th.  Heli-skiing!!!!  If I can make it work - Trevor's got my back!  May do a few little races on our way to IMLT in September.  Vineman, HITS Napa - maybe RNR SF 13.1 - we'll see.  Seriously cheering on the MG in Oakland, wearing Kevlar!!!

Hey all,

I recieved this email today, and I think it must be a mistake.  lol  Can someone tell me how this "qualifying" thing works?  Are there certain races that are "qualifying" races.  Seriously, the race they mention was a very small race and the weather sucked, and I raced the sprint distance.  So, it didn't take much to finish well in my age group.  There's no way I could compete at a big race.

"Congratulations Jayne Fought-Schlemmer. You have qualified for the Olympic-Distance race at the 2013 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships on August 10 in Milwaukee, Wis., after finishing in the top 10 percent in your age group at the Tri the Creek Olympic, Sprint Triathlons."

Hey guys, my Dad passed away last night after a very tough bout with COPD, congestive heart failure and I was lucky enough to hold his hand in mine until the end. His grip was super strong until he lost his strength. Just wanted you guys to know...I think of you as family, my swbkrun family.
