SO MUCH HAPPENING!!

Ladies!! Fall is obviously in full swing as there is so much going on these days!!

RUN FOR THE CURE...
It was rainy and cool, but it was so much fun!!! There were 8 of us (plus Adam, and Stephanie running with the Firefighters!) and we all finished well! Bobbi's husband took a pic, so we'll try to get that up here too! I think it was a newspaper guy who took some other photos as well, so we'll have to keep our eyes out for that! Bobbi, Alexis, Michelle, Melanie, Colleen, Patti & Rebecca... so fun to run together with you... Great job girls!!!! Thanks to Mel for being our team captain!

OKANAGAN MARATHON... NEXT SUNDAY!
First, we all want to wish Danette the best of luck on the FULL MARATHON!! please post how your training is going and what you'll be wearing so we can watch out for you and cheer you on!! As for "half'ers" and "10k'ers"... who's in? I know we have...
Dawn (10) and Joel (10)
Patti (10) and Dean (1/2)
Bobbi (10)
Cathy (?) and Jason (?)
anyone else????? please let us know!

GREAT BIG RUN FOR AFRICA... THE NEXT SATURDAY (OCT 13TH)
I know Steph is really hoping for some more participants and sponsorship for this event!
Patti expressed an interest if she has a buddy... I'll be that buddy for 5k! (a flatter part :-) Anyone else should just let Steph know asap.

So... with all these other events going on, there may be a few faces missing at our standing Sat am date at Bliss for the next few weeks. Hopefully, there will still be a few girls to meet up with every week though!

Have a great week! personally, I'll be missing the next few weeks at Bliss but look forward to seeing everyone again after my cruise :-) I'll think of you when Marcie & I run in Victoria & Nanaimo in about 2 weeks!

Great Big Run for Africa!

Hey Ladies,
Sorry to use our blog but I am hoping to increase the number of participants, and/or donations!
It is the annual Great Big Run for Africa! We will be starting the run on Oct. 13 from the Westbank Quality Greens. It is a relay...so not a huge committment. The main issue is transportation as we will only have the support RV going one way. So if you cannot stay with us all day, you have to make alternate plans for transport.
I am not sure if anyone is running this Sat. as we have the Run for the Cure on Sun...but I can make if anyone else will be there! Check out the Partners in the Horn Website at www.partnersinthehorn.com.

Sat, Sept 22nd - RAIN OR SHINE??

Well girls, it's been an unpredictable week weather-wise... hoping for a clear morning tomorrow!

I hope you all have a great time! I have to work tomorrow at 9am, so I need to leave by 7:40... if anyone else from Shannon Lake has to get home that quick, let me know... otherwise I'll see you at 7!

Dawn,
your fairweather running friend :-)

Saturday, September 15th

Just checking to see who's up for a run this Sat @ Bliss?
Yvonnne? Don't be shy! See you there!

Also, I know a lot of girls have been trying to coordinate with others for mid-week runs. Maybe we could post a few ideas here?

I believe there are a few going at 3pm on Mon & Wed (Is that right Patti, Michelle, Rebecca?)

I'd love to go for an am run (doesn't have to be early) on Mondays &/or Wednesdays.

Anyone else? Anyone prefer evenings, like 7ish? If you're looking to hook up, let's do some brainstorming!

THE BIG REUNION!! Saturday Sept 8th, 7am, BLISS

OK GIRLS!! WHO'S GOING TO BE THERE NEXT SATURDAY??
Can't wait to see you all!
It's going to be a special day!

Remember, if you're just starting out, or starting again... you will find someone at your level to run with... if you've never come out before, please join us! You know who you are!! ALSO... there have been a few women who would like to get together to WALK... so make it known if you're interested in getting together for a good walk.



Colleen...can you come down and meet us for coffee? Good for you that you have such a great sleeper! Maybe once soccer is done and it gets cooler/darker we might want to talk about meeting a little later... hopefully we can get closer to a time that works a litte better for you!... Dawn
