Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
I'm impressed by all the great junior Swamper runners. When I would try to get my daughter to walk downtown, she'd always groan and say, "Can't we just drive?" So, this is foreign territory to me.
Amazingly, my sedentary daughter now tells me she's regularly going with her roommates to the campus gym at U Washington. I figure there must be an ulterior motive.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Rass, does your daughter move on to a bigger regional race for USATF now? Our New Englands are this weekend and I think both my kids have a chance to go to Region I in Poughkeepsie. I don't think they or their teams can make Nationals but Reno in December seems nice?

There is a regional meet in or around Philly on the 18th. We haven't really decided if we're going or not.

ETA: We could have a sweet Swamp meetup at Nationals... if my son could qualify.
OTOH, my son's coach has been pestering my daughter to join the team for a couple years. I'm shocked, but she actually wants to now. Not sure what convinced her, because she has fought the idea. She will run all day playing a sport, but won't run for the sake of running. So maybe she can qualify...

Run is the shittiest of liquors. But still so so good when handled correctly.

I like rum. It’s just the bottom of the list.

Just for the record, Reno is at 4,500 feet, and December is cold and often snowy.

So it'll be just like home, except bleak and tacky.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Good luck to the boy(s?).
My wife is away this weekend, so it wasn't really possible for us to get down to Philly on Saturday. I offered to drive down early Sunday, but the kid wasn't sure she'd be at her best getting up that early and then spending a couple of hours in the car, and chose not to go. It looks like the Philly Marathon is this weekend, and goes through the same park that the USATF Jr XC meet is held at, so it might be a mess anyway.
Her soccer team picked up a last minute extra game on Sunday, so maybe it worked out OK.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
For whatever it's worth, December in Reno is cold as balls (though to be fair, not "New Hampshire cold as balls").
Snow isn't common, but not unheard of (any precipitation would probably be snow, but precipitation in high desert is on the rarer side).

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Yeah now that we're pretty sure Nate's team will qualify, we made up our minds that we're not spending $3K for 8-9 minutes of back-of-the-pack racing.

He's opened an etsy site to sell some of the vintage watches that he's picked up at auctions, estate sales and online. He cleans them up, services them and (hopefully) sells them.

Check it out - even if you aren't in the market. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

His etsy site didn;t take off, but he made enough money selling the watches that he was able to buy some really nice watches.rass wrote: ↑Sun Nov 25, 2018 8:14 pmThought of you today while reading this article.Pruitt wrote: ↑Tue Feb 17, 2015 7:18 am My son is obsessed with watches.
