He's bummed about the Half. He's glad he did it when he did. (He's ex-Navy). He's running MCM through Team in Training, which raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He says come to Philly for the Rock and Roll Half here that weekend in September!

Keep on losing!

Is he running with a group for the MCM? Or just hoping to win the lottery?

I'll be doing the 10K at MCM :)

I fence foil. As of 12/20/18, I'm ranked 24 among women 50-59 and 33 among all women over 40 in the US.

Jan. 13 - Women's Foil FAP North Aristomache #5 (Women ages 13 and up) - Philly

Feb. 2 - Vet Women's Foil Capitol Clash (DC)

Feb. 10 - FAP North Women's Aristomache #6 - Foil - Philly

March 3 - Division II North American Cup Foil Cleveland, OH

March 17 - Vet Warm Up - Baltimore (may not make this one)

March 31 - FAP Vet Warm Up Philly

April 6 - Durkan Spring Div II - NJ

April 7- FAP North Women's Arisomache #8

April 12-14 - April North American Cup - Div II, Div III, Vet 50 and Vet combined - Salt Lake City

That at least gets me fencing through my next big nationals tournament in April - I really want to do at least 2 events a month going forward.

May isn't clear. June will be prep for Summer Nationals in Columbus which runs from the last Saturday in June through the First Saturday in July. August is my month off. September starts the new season.

If I earn my foil rating this year, I will also take up sabre.

Keep on losing!

Wow - there was such a great turn out for that this year - my hubby ran and we went to DC for the weekend of the race. This year he's doing the Marine Corps Marathon.

Sadly my fall half marathon was just cancelled - it's been going on for at least a decade, but they decided it was no longer sustainable. RIP Navy Air Force Half Marathon. So now I'm debating what I'm going to do.

March - half marathon
October - 10k
October, 6 days later - 5k, but I can switch it for a second half marathon if I want to do a second one in the year... which I'd sort of like to do. Just not sure about the timing.

Plus weekly 5k races with parkrun about three weeks of every month.

Looking at adding a few 5k runs this year, increase distance for biking during good weather, maybe a fun bike race. Mostly just increasing what I already do.

Those Spartan races are no joke..I dont see myself doing any of those..Trail races and Triathlon are about as far as I will go "off the beaten path". My friends did one in Nashville and she posted videos..those look super tough..more power to you..
