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!

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??
