Topic: RE: Dates For Your 2010 Events....
This is my intended schedule. I travel a lot for my work so my schedule gets adjusted accordingly. In 2007-2008 I ran full marathons. This year I am focusing on 1/2's as I discover what my post op issues might be. I am still looking to add an ultra in the SE United States this year if anyone knows of a good 50K somwhere in the May-August time frame.
Feb 21st---Breast Cancer 1/2 marathon, Jacksonville, FL
Apr 10th---Eisenhower 1/2 marathon, Abilene, KS
Apr 24th---Nashville 1/2 marathon, Nashville, TN
Sep 11th--- Frantic Frog Sprint Triathlon, Scottsboro, AL
Oct 31st---Marine Corps Marathon, Washington DC
Dec 11th---Rocket City Marathon, Huntsville, Al
Semper Fi,
Rod

Topic: RE: Team??
I never said it was ONLY for people who have completed a half. In the message I said the actual Team would consist of people who are currently REGISTERED for at least a half marathon or have completed one in the past. I think you are reading a little too much into this, and there are not a lot of parameters for the team yet. The feedback I have been recieving is that we have ALOT of people who want to be on the team etc... but do not actively participate on the forums or the team / group discussions. When it comes to a team that is looking for sponsorships and is serious about racing, serious in my mind, is determined as being registered. This is still a work in progress and NOTHING is in stone. It would be best to have everyone in the Friday night chat sessions so we can discuss this. Thanks so much for being active and for being here, it's awesome. THIS team will NOT be for just runners, I and so many others love Triathlon, multisport, and cyclocross too much!

The 27th Annual TRI for FUN #3 Aug 7
Rock & Roll 1/2 Marathon San Jose October 3
I want to get a century ride or two in there as well, but I'm having a hard time finding anything that doesn't conflict with my schedule.
I might do the MS Waves to Wine ride, but I am not real fond of the events that require fund raising. Never been real good at that. I'd rather just pay an entry fee and have that go to the charity.

Topic: Team??
Dan - Got your last e-mail via the Yahoo group. My question is this. You stated that it had been decided (by whom I don't know) that unless you have completed at leat a half marathon than we can no longer be a teammember? So what about those of us, who are currently training for their first half marathon or Ultra-marathon events? I won't be comepeting in a marathon until this fall and registration for the run is not open yet. So does that automatically get me rejected from the team? Also, are we now limiting the team to only running? What about cyclist? or Trail runners (ultra-marathons)? What exactly are the new qualifications for the team? Is there a list of things that a person must have already accomplished before being eligible for the team? Is there a list already established and can we see what they are so people can find out if they qualify for the team? I'm just trying to get information on what is going on with the team and determine if I am still interested in being part of it.

Small time here.........
5K or whatever race is available every month with the runners club.............going to do the dash of the Splash N Dash in Jan and Feb since I haven't broken the surface of the pool since I was pregnant with my 2 yr old son.......no less than one race per month all year.
Re-Join the Y and swim!!!!!!! Finances too unstable to add that into the mix until later this year but I'm not giving up. The DH is supposed to join me..........we'll see!
Do a half marathon in September and October....I'd still like to do the April one but I'm really unsure of my left knee.
Cross-train on my SIL unused stationary manual bicycle, that thing is a bear and it's collecting dust at her house, I'm going to knock the dust off starting tomorrow evening! The DH is going with.....supposed to workout too, maybe we can all get fit??
Use my SIL dusty weight equipment...........Bonus of using SIL stuff it's free, there's a bathroom, a kitchen and somewhere for my kids to tear things up. Oh and it's 5 min from my house. And free.

Still working on my schedule for the year, but the half will be the NJ Marathon (Half) at Long Branch, NJ on May 1, 2010. I am thinking about adding some trail runs this year to change things up a bit, so will include those in my full schedule next time I post. Thanks for pulling together a full calendar!
