I'd do a TRI also but I am not that into swimming...most I like to do in the water is lounge around. Running has been the only form of exercise I'v loved. So I'll leave the TRI to you :o) I was wanting to do another marathon but unless my body stops hurting and causing me problems, that wont be happening. I had two goals this year, one was to run Georgia marathon and run a 1000 miles, neither one of them is gonna happen this year so I revised the goal to be able to run 5 miles again...and then decide what to do from there. My joints can't take running 6 days a week so its now 3 days...

Hi Tracy, I hope your arm is ok! I am sorry that happened, that sucks :(

I hope otherwise you are doing ok! I admire you so much and have to say it again, I enjoyed running with you on the track even though we're not in same age group...it was fun!

Hi Tracy: Yes, I'd like to try the large jersey. Would you mind emailing me at slmsolutions@sbcglobal.net so that we can exchange address information. I don't want to do it here. Many thanks.

I saw the jersey you designed and am interested in buying one. I participate in the U.S. Transplant Games and think it would be great for the track events. You say they run small. What size do you think a large would be if you translate it to a woman's sized blouse?

Hi Tracy: I am unable to get the shirt now as I am low on funds but thank you for getting back to me and hope to see you in 2010.
Hugs, Karen
