Happy New Year's Eve Eve!
If anyone is interested in a run tomorrow, Yvonne, Colleen and I are starting at 7am planning to do 10-12kms starting with the hill side, and Dawn & Andrea are hopefully meeting up with us at 7:45 at Bliss for the dog beach side. Hope to see some sisters out and for coffee!

Saturday Dec 17th and WENATCHEE/RACE TRIP

Hello ladies!

I hope lots of girls can make it out for breakfast on Saturday! Kari has made reservations for 9:30 at the Blind Angler :-)

On a Road Trip note...
This past weekend we were chatting a little more about whether we would go to Wenatchee this spring or try a different race to mix it up a bit... I did some research and this is what I'm thinking about some of the other options we discussed...

Seattle Marathon - it's end of June, probably not a great time for most of us to get away
Tacoma Marathon - has no 10K option
Spokane Bloomsday - is a Sunday

Did anyone find any other options?

Should we decide on Wenatchee -- APRIL 21ST-- I did find TWO NEW VACATION RENTALS, 10 HOUSES FROM EACH OTHER!!!! They will sleep 16 with women sharing King and Queen beds (no single beds). Also, there is a hot tub :-) They are in East Wenatchee, 4 miles from shopping. They look gorgeous!

If we decide on Saturday that we want to go for this option, I'll collect a $40 deposit from whoever wants to go and I'll reserve these places. If we have 16 girls, the accommodations will be about $70 each for the weekend. (A little more if we don't have 16, a little less if we have some girls come last minute and charge them a few bucks less for a spot on the floor.)

**DEPOSITS WILL BE NON-REFUNDABLE BUT TRANSFERABLE... as in, if you give me a deposit but then you can't come, you can sell your spot to someone else who hasn't already given me a deposit – and it will be up to you to arrange it. Anyone who gives me a deposit will be "registered" for accommodations but I won’t count on anyone who doesn’t give a deposit. (It’s just gotten a little complicated in the past.) No big rush on the deposits, but I will be putting down 50% to hold the rentals, so if you can get me a cheque, that would be great

SOOOOOO..... think about it all and we can make a decision on Saturday
If you can’t make it Saturday but have anything to add to the Race Trip conversation, please e-mail your thoughts!

ALSO, THERE IS AN EARLY BIRD DEADLINE OF JAN 1ST FOR THE WENATCHEE FULL AND HALF MARATHON -- THE 10k Doesn't have a price increase until mid March -- fyi.

Have a great week, everyone!
Dawn

I'm BAAAACCCKKKK!

Hello long lost sisters!
I can't wait to get out there tomorrow and hopefully see at least some of you!

I'm up for a 7:45 start and will probably only make it to the boatlaunch and back -- anyone else heading out for a brisk am run??

November 12th

Hi everyone! Yvonne, Colleen and I are starting at 7am and aiming for 10kms, hope to see more sisters (especially for coffee!)
Christy

A nice brisk Nov 5th

Hi everyone!

I have another day of classes so I won't be coming...unless anyone is finished by 8am I might pop in for 20 minutes :)

More than a little jealous of this beautiful running weather, hope to join you again one day. What's everyone else running?

Kari

October 22nd

We might get rained on, but at least it will be warm-ish...who's in for a run tomorrow? I'll be there for 7am if anyone is interested!
Christy

It's going to be a nice morning tomorrow (although probably a bit chilly)...who's in for a run at 7am?
Christy

October 8th

Hey ladies!
I'm looking forward to a little run again tomorrow! Hope to see some familiar faces :-) I think I'll start at 7:00am and I'm just going to go for 4km... looking forward to seeing you!
Dawn

October (Yes October!) 1st

Hi Ladies

Wow, we're in a new month already! Is anyone around this weekend? I know some of you are going to the Run For The Cure on the Sunday but just checking for company at Bliss for Saturday. I'm hoping to be there for 8am so hopefully see some of you there.

Good luck and best wishes to Dawn and all you ladies for Sunday!

Kari :)

Sat Sept 17

Hi everyone,

I'm going to head for Bliss by 8am hopefully. I'll have my girls but I think they'd be more than happy to share their own table away from the "boring" adults ;)

Anyone else going to be there?

Kari

RUN FOR THE CURE!

Just an invitation to join our Sole Sisters Women's Team once again! Last year 33 MILLION dollars were raised across Canada by people like me and you -- can't wait to see what happens this year and SOOO excited to be a part of it! Will you join me?

October 2nd is coming up and it would be awesome to have Sole Sisters represent and help create a future without breast cancer :-)

Just register online if you're able to join in the fun!

Thanks a million! (Or 33 Million!)

Dawn

AND AS FOR THIS WEEK... I'm out there for a 7am start, a light run to test out the old pain in the butt -- who's with me?

Sept Long Weekend!

Hey girls!
Who's around??
I'm in for a 7am start... probably just a walk, might run a bit... will play it by ear but look forward to a coffee with whoever afterwards :-)
Dawn

August 27th

Hello sole sisters!
I'm going to head down for a walk with Ellie tomorrow -- my sciatic has flared up so I'm taking a little break from running for a few weeks. I'm thinking of a 7am start... see you later!
Dawn

Sat Aug 20!

I'll be there for a 7am run with Carleen and ???

SOmeone and their sister will be there too, but I"m not sure who it was that commented on the last post :-) See you then!
Dawn

Christy

Saturday July 23

Hi everyone! Anyone running tomorrow? I'd love to start between 6:30-7 if anyone is interested?
Christy

Sat July 16

Hi ladies!

Please read the post below if you haven't already. So who's doing what tomorrow? It's Chris's birthday but I'm still hoping to make it out for a teeny bit--is that selfish? Anyways, hope to see you all at Bliss.

Kari

Aaaaannnddd, we're back!

Because most of us are better at running and drinking coffee than we are at using our new website, we're going to go back to using the blog as a communication tool for now -- the Website is still there for us :-)

Once again, thank you to Amberlee for all the webwork -- we all love that it's an awesome place for photos and event info:-)

Happy posting!!

WE'VE MOVED

COME VISIT US AT OUR NEW WEBSITE:

SOLESISTERSMOVE.COM


Ladies... the blog is now over there and we can keep our weekly communications up via the new site :-)

Dawn

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! See you at 7:45 in your SS Shirts :-)

Saturday, Feb 19th

hello hello!

looking forward to seeing most of you tomorrow!

Andrea and I are leaving Bliss at 7:45 for our 7&1's if anyone cares to join us :-)

Otherwise we'll see WHO for coffee??

Dawn

Feb 12th

hello all!

Hoping for a less slippy run tomorrow -- Andrea and I will leave at 7:45 -- see anyone else there or later?

Please remember your moola for brunch tickets and Wenatchee deposits if you haven't already done so -- thanks!

Dawn

Feb 5th! (See Wenatchee stuff below if you haven't already)

Hi girls!

Andrea and I are running 5 & 1's tomorrow starting at 7:45 -- see you later for coffee!

If you have your $ for your brunch tickets and/or Wenatchee deposits, Alexis and I will gladly relieve you of it.

See you tommorrow!

Dawn

Sat Jan 29 & Wenatchee

UPDATE, TUESDAY JAN 25TH: AFTER A FACEBOOK MEETING OF THE MINDS, WE HAVE DECIDED TO BOOK THE SECOND LOCATION, SO I'VE PUT A DEPOSIT ON BOTH UNITS. PLEASE BRING IN A $40 DEPOSIT FOR ACCOMODATIONS THIS WEEKEND AND GIVE TO ALEXIS. MS. LARSON HAS AGREED TO BE THE ACCOMODATIONS COORDINATOR FOR THIS TRIP AND WILL BE MANAGING THE MONEY AND THE SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS :-) TALK TO HER IF YOU HAVE ANY REQUESTS :-)

If you missed last Sat, you missed the growing enthusiasm over the Wenatchee Marathon Relay! It looks like we'll have 1 or two teams... and we'll want to get them registered on the weekend, so think about whether you might like to be a part of this -- it'll be fun to add something different into our history! There are 5 & 10KM legs, which can be combined if anyone wants to do a 15KM leg

Would be great to get an idea of who is interested in doing what and who's coming to Wenatchee for racing OR for fun -- please comment your area of interest and I'll keep the list updated :-) Let me know if I confused any info I heard on saturday :-)

Also, I have booked the same house as last year, so the first 12-14 girls to commit get a spot in that house. I have also got a loose hold on the townhouse across the street incase we have a few more girls. (It's looking like we're going to need that 2nd house -- don't be shy if you wan to come but you think it's looking too full!)

As for this Saturday -- Andrea and I are leaving the station at 7:45 with our 4 & 1's! Still good for any other beginners to join us!
