Saturday, June 2nd RUN

Hey girls!
Just a reminder that this week is a regular BLISS run, 7:30 am.

If anyone is interested in running the race route next week, post about it and see who wants to go.

Make sure you get your registration in next week for the race!

I have a feeling I will not be racing afterall... on account of the fact that I can not move as I've done something very very bad to my back... check my blog for the gory details. If I can walk by saturday I'll try to come for coffee... I am one disappointed solesister :-( BUT, I will be one heck-of-a-photographer!

WOMEN'S RACE - JUNE 10TH, BRING IT!

Now that the shirts are ordered, (horray!), it's time to REGISTER FOR THE WOMEN'S RACE!
I dropped by Fresh Air today and signed myself up. It's $20 if you register ahead of time, and $25 if you wait until the day of the race.

There was a little bit of chatter about heading out to east kelowna this week... "Wednesday" was thrown out (that's tomorrow)...
Anyone interested in going out there around 7pm??

MONDAY UPDATE

OK, here's the latest scoop...



SHIRTS...
TOMORROW THE ORDER GOES IN!

I have a large sample size here at home, so if you want to give it a try, you'll have to come by my house TONIGHT. I am running here in the neighborhood between 6:45 and 8:00, so come before or after that, (or better yet, come run with us!) WE NEED TO PLACE OUR ORDER TOMORROW! WE ARE GOING WITH PINK ONLY (it's just getting too down to the wire now to add another angle to the shirts... I hope that's ok with everyone.)
As a reference for size... they are a wider cut... Stephanie owns a MED shirt and it fits quite big on her, the LARGE is a little too big on Patti, so she's going for MED... Large is just a tad tight for Karleigh (and her nursing boobs) so, she's going for an XL... Donna tried the large too... is going for XL (Fab hooters)...

I still don't have a final price (uurrrgggg.) but at the most, it should be around $30. Sorry I can't get more specifics... it depends too on how many we order.


*****UPDATE - TUESDAY AM....
So far I am ordering...

ALEXIS - M

PATTI - M

DONNA - xL

COLLEEN - L

TRACY - S

KARLEIGH - XL

MICHELLE - M

DAWN - S

KATHLEEN - M

REBECCA - M

STEPHANIE - S

BOBBIE - S

LINDA H - M

KARI - XS/S

KATHIE S - M

CORINE - S

CATHY k - S

KOREEN - L

IMPORTANT STUFF!

We had such a great group out today... so nice to see some faces we haven't seen for a while... Karleigh & Koreen did so great! Also, welcome LINDA ! (Two Lindas... the "L"s could be taking over the "K"'s!!)

So a little shirt update...
I do believe we can order different colors, so we narrowed it down to pink & blue. I have asked the t-shirt guy to bring in size samples, but we're getting down to the wire now, so we may have to guess on sizes. As a reference point, Stephanie was wearing a shirt from the same manufacturer today... a Med was a tad large on her, but comfortable. I tried to call the shirt place today, they are closed, so I will go there on Monday am and see what he's got to give me for sizing, if anything. Otherwise, I think we need to ORDER THEM ON WEDNESDAY!

SOOOO.... COULD YOU PLEASE POST IF YOU WANT PINK OR BLUE, AND WHICH SIZE YOU'D LIKE. I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF WE HAVE SHIRTS TO TRY ON FOR SIZE AND THEN YOU CAN POP BY MY PLACE TO TRY THEM ON IF YOU WANT. OTHERWISE, WE'LL JUST WING IT!

Check back here for more updates... I'll post the status if shirts to try for size on Monday.

Also, the logo will change slightly from what I first sent out... it will be as we have it at the top of this blog, if you guys OK it :-)

Thanks for getting back to me on your shirt preference at your earliest convenience!

have a great rest of the weekend!
see some of you on Monday evening!

Saturday, May 26 - the Plan Stan

Happy Wednesday ladies!
Alexis & I met with Stephanie this morning... a gorgeous day and we were sweating up a storm! Makes these 7:30 starts on Saturday pretty logical!

So, for this weekend, the usual time at the usual place?
Bliss Bakery, Saturday @ 7:30am .

Post a comment (just hit the "comments" link below) and let us know if you plan to come and if you care to carpool.

ALSO, FYI...
The last couple of weeks there has been a small group doing a monday evening run in the Shannon Lake Neighborhood... about a 40 minute route. If you care to join us, meet at 6:45 infront of Donna's house. (We can get you the address if you need it.) Anyone is welcome.

Have a great night!
Dawn

SHIRTS, SHIRTS, SHIRTS!!

Finally, I think we have a winner... almost!

I think this might be a good choice for us, since our logo is black & white, having the white shoulder stripe kind of brings it together??

I am still waiting on a price for the printing, but these are under $20 before printing and I think really good, performance quality shirts.

The colors that would work for us I think are either...

pink

sky blue

red

So, what would you think?

If I could ask for some feedback asap, we can get some sample sizes in right away and get those shirts done for our June 19th race! But we've got to ge moving!

Please let me know if you think this shirt is a winner, and what your color preference would be.

thanks!

We need a minimum order of 12, and they have sizes from XS to XXL

Holiday Monday Run & June 10 race link

Hey all!

There was a little bit of talk about running on Monday sometime... either at about 8am or in the evening. Anyone up for either?

Options:
Shannon Lake neighborhood run
or
East Kelowna Race Route

Post your preferences and we'll see who's up for what!

It was a great run this am with Kari, Julie, Linda, Donna, Patti & Dawn... perfect temperature and we were moving for close to an hour... (more for Kari) we're so getting ready to kick this 10K!

Don't forget to register through Fresh Air Experience... here's the link...

http://www.freshair.ca/womens-run.html

and, of course, plan for natchos afterwards! How does the Red Robin patio sounds??

Remember you can do a 5 or 10K option... it's such a great race-- encouraging, casual environment... loads of prizes. For those who are looking at their first race---this is the perfect way to start!

have a great saturday!

WHADDYA THINK SOLE SISTERS?

So, I was sitting playing with my new laptop thinking how cool it would be if we had our own website of some kind... then I started thinking that it might be a more efficient way to communicate with our group, especially since keeping an accurate e-mail list is such a challenge.

So, I started playing a little and here we are! What would you guys think about giving this method of communication a try?

I think it would be cool because...

• we wouldn't have to keep an e-mail address list that is ever-changing
• we would have one place to direct new people to for information
• we can post pictures (of races and shirts for example!)
• blogging is super cool!

Anyone who wanted to, could create new posts (like this one)... I'll be happy to give the sign-in and password to anyone who might like it, and then EVERYONE AND ANYONE can make a comment in response to a post. You might want to create an id initially, or you can just comment using the "anonymous" option...just be sure to sign your name so we know who you are.

Again, anyone who would like to create new posts can do so once they have the "keys" to the blog... it would probably be a good idea if one or two people were committed to making sure it happened, like, once a week... I'd be happy to volunteer to do that, maybe Patti can remind me if it gets to Friday and I haven't done it yet :-)

As a central place for information, I think ia site like this might be a good idea, and the other possibilies for it's uses are endless! I think it's one of those things that will just take a little getting used to and then will be way more efficient in the long run. It will just be a matter of adding it to your favorites and checking it rather than waiting for an e-mail.

So, what do you think? Want to give it a try? I did NOT spend a lot of time on this, so if you see good reasons NOT to try it, I'm tooooottttaaaallllyyy ok with it... but I think this would be fun!

See some of you tomorrow!
