Howling at the Moon

This Saturday is the first full moon of 2010, what better way to celebrate than get the "wolf pack" together and go for a Full Moon crosscountry ski and for those without ski's, a snowshoe, then meet back up and enjoy a potluck get together and catch up.  My almost 90 year old father calls the Wooo Hooo's "the wolf pack" and he even had Tshirts made for all of us...too cute. 

I was worried about the snow conditions because of the torrential rain we had on Monday, but in true Canadian fashion, we have had some snow this week and the temperatures are plummeting to -23C (-9F) for Saturday.  Ahhh, refreshing!

Last week the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour registration opened up and I'm IN...well, just for the Century Ride, from Perth to Kingston at the beginning of June.  This is the ride that I missed last year due to my knee injury, so I'm really looking forward to it this year.  In fact, shhhh, don't tell Ruby, but I'm going tonight to be fitted for a Trek 2.1. 

Speaking of Perth, the Kilt Run on-line regristration is now closed with 815 registrants as of January 26th.  This is going to be a HOOT!

Again, I'm stealing company time, so have a great weekend everyone,

Life's fun if you don't weaken,

You just never know

After posting about the Richmond Road Race on Tuesday and linking the website for the race photo's and sniveling that I couldn't "steal" a photograh to post on the blog, (reality check people, this is their living).  I was checking some of your comments and you know what?  There was a comment from the Race Photographer!!!  I was amazed that he could find me but then I remembered I had linked to his site and then removed it....duh!!

Anyway, we exchanged emails about the race and the photo's, and his business In My Sights Photography and again, you know what? 

Bill is so nice that he forwarded me a copy of the race photo!!  Thanks so much Bill, that photo is going on my sidebar!!! 

He also sent me the photo of Dave who is promoting the Perth Kilt Run in June.  This race is going for the World Record for the most runner's running in a kilt. The first 500 people who register receive a Kilt in their race kit to wear during the race and you get a choice of kilt colour as well!!!   As of January 21, 2010, there have been 418 regestrants.  How can you tell I'm excited about this race!  I'm not even part of the promotional team!    Anyway, enough free promo, but come on you Toronto peeps, it's only three hours drive for you!!  LOL.

I'd better get some work done here again I'm stealing company time.  Tonight I'm meeting up with some Tweeters (is that what its called?), some of us have never met before so it should be fun.  We are going for a 5K run along the canal and then having a bite to eat!

Life's fun if you don't weaken,

Tuesday already?

Holy Yikes, time is flying. It has been busy, crazy at work (which is good because I was getting a little nervous last week).

The weather has tanked as far as cross country skiing is concerned, I can’t remember a winter this mild...yes, you can thank me. I’m guessing it is because I bought all that ski and snowshoe equipment. You’re welcome!!

Sunday was a GREAT day as far as running was concerned....it was one of the best, mildest running days in the 28 year history of the Richmond Road Race.  I had a blast meeting up with old and now new friends...yes I finally got to meet Yannick of EndorphinBuzz.  He is a speedy speedster and super nice!!!

Since the Wooo Hooo’s were running in the 10K,  I ran the 5K with my friend Treena from Bimble. 

(I ended up #58 of 96 women at a 6:41 pace finishing up at 0:33:23, this was not a chip time, just the old fashioned right it down on a clip board, which is just fine with me).

The representatives were there for the Kilt Run in June and believe it or not I know a couple of the organiser’s....I think I’ll need to get a hotel room in June for after, there will be adult BevERages involved after that race, I’m sure of it.... 

Anyway, I’m here stealing company time so I’ll leave you with the photo links of the race...I can’t scoop any photo’s, they got all high tek and I can’t copy any photo’s....*sniff*  but look for me....bib number 323!  I'm killing myself laughing (as usual)...oh and that's Dave running in his kilt....

Have a great day and remember,

Life's fun if you don't weaken,
