Friday Night Update

So anyways I was walkin around the late today & it was beautiful - like a postcard - big flakes falling - just lovely The roads today we wet, not anything else. As I said in the last post - unless it all changes over night - the race is a go I will be ther around 7-7:15am for early birds. It was, as I said, snowy in parts, not snowy in other parts... you know - it's winter. Decide for yourselves - because - be safe - I don't have far to go to get there Bring warmies Bring that change of clothes Bring good cheer - this is an elective thing - I'm not making you do it - I am not the boss of you. So - let's welcome this very short day with a run of good cheer & there will be chili for those who can make it! SLURP!

SNOW!!

So - as far as I'm concerned - the race is on! We had ice last year & it was a go. I have yet to go up and look around but will be doing so after I take the banana bread out of the oven. My policy last year was if you get there, I will be there - so unless it gets way worse (knock wood) I will be there & come on out if you can. I hear the mains are fine & the sides are being plowed. And Northerners don't laugh - this is a lot for us to deal with! I have received forms from almost everyone on the list - Blogger is flaking out on me - but here's the who's who of number 5!! Full James G - early Belinda K - early Suzanne L Dennis S John E Edward D Doug C - early Dylan O Janet Green 1/2 Catherine M John B - early Andrea B - e Danna H Deon H Johanne J Jessica K Glenn G Lisa d Kim R Ben M Kelly S Colleen v Anne H - e Samantha D Scott S Shawn F Malinta T Jim T Gary P Jeralyn P Jessica I Drew K Stefan K Peter G - e Tina H Suzanne V - ???? 10 km Stephanie H Larry D Jan D Matt K The start finish is at the main entrance of Westwood Lake park - off Jinglepot road & Westwood road - turn left just after the pub & go up up up the hill. The aid station will have water & a sports drink, some chips, pancakes, chili, a few bars & chocolates, whatever cookies people bring to share & a blanket or 2. My phone number is on the back of you bib - so if you can bring a cell, then all the better. I will try to post again with more info about the course but I'm guessing it's snowy in patches, muddy in patches and could be icy, depending on the weather. Use caution!. It will be marked & should be easy to navigate. This is not a Boston Qualifier - so no need for speed out there! Ok - any questions??
