What does Spicy food and Jingle bells have in common?

ANSWER……THE RUNNING GROUP PLANS FOR THIS WEEKEND, SAT NOV 21ST

Were mixing it up a little, Some of us will be participating in the Jingle Bell Run Downtown to help raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. http://spokanejinglebellrun.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=308513 We will start by meeting at Tina’s and be ready to leave no later than 8:30 to do a light warm up down to Riverfront Park to be ready for race start by 9:00 AM.  I would encourage anyone who can to come run with bells on, and dont forget the crazy hats too.

For those who dont want to hang out with a bunch of ding-a-lings Paul AKA Trimoot will be leading the rest of the group from Tina’s at the regular time and place for a beautiful time along the centennial trail.

Then afterwords we will all meet back at the house for a Mexi breakfast, ahhh i know you were wondering where the spicy food came in wernt ya?

Saturday: A slight chance of rain and snow before 10am, then a slight chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

TO EGG YOU ON WE HAVE QUICHE for this weeks run Sat Nov 14th

OK OK I know thats pretty bad, I tried to come up with something clever, but apparently Im a little bit cracked HAR.

But its all true after this weeks run we will be diggin into some yummy home made Quiche provided by Tina, YUMMM

So strap on your shoes and your bib and meet us at Tinas place again 527 E. Baldwin for a great run along the centennial trail this Saturday Nov 14th, looks like it might be cool so dress accordingly, then afterwords we will warm up with some great food and fellowship. Remember Bring a friend!

We will start at the standard 9:00 AM.

I have selected this weeks verse, here it is in advance in case you want to think about it before Saturday

Prov4:11-12 I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. when you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run you will not stumble

Saturday: Partly sunny, with a high near 37. Southeast wind between 3 and 6 mph.

WAFFLES

Remember When……we use to run on waffles? Well at least those of you who are ….shall we say well seasoned like me might, you know like Trimoot, HA HA.

This week instead of running on waffles were going to be Running, or jogging, or walking FOR WAFFLES…YUMMMMY

Tina is graciously hosting the first annual Run For Waffles Event from her lovely home this saturday starting at 9:00 am. Here is what she has to say.

Make your plans to join us this Saturday at 9 am for our first annual “Run for Waffles” event. Anyone running, walking or jogging will be entitled to a free waffle (or 2 or 3 or…) at my place after the run/walk.  We’ll meet at my home, 527 E. Baldwin and run from there along the river course.  We’ll have a chance to visit with a warm cup of something when we get back and you can cash in on your hard earned waffle/s.  

So Come one Come all, bring a friend a family member and yourself  this saturday and have a great time, we will be heading down to the beautiful centennial trail, you can go east of west and get an eyeful of the beautiful fall colors along the river while enjoying great fellowship.

First Annual PUMPKIN PACER Race

We met this week for the first annual 5k PUMKIN PACER halloween costume race in Deer Park WA. on halloween itself. WHAT A BLAST THAT WAS!!! Check out the group that showed up below,  SCARY arnt they? imagine if they had dressed up HA HA HA

There were probably a couple hundred or more people participating in the event, dressed in various creatures, characters and some as themselves OHHHH creeepy. There were telitubbies, Zombies, Surgeons, super heros, the whole gambit of oddities there, It was such a riot. Tina was laughing constantly at all the great costumes. We had great weather for the time of year, Sunny, cool and at times windy, but considering the storm we had the night before we couldent of asked for better.

The race directors handed out all kinds of swag in the way of door prizes and best costume prizes, some very cool stuff, from some very cool sponsers, thank you to all who contributed.  I managed to squeek by the awesome snake charmer in a final walk off between the two of us to win first place in the adult male best costume prize, whew, thats me as Jack Sparrow in case you dident put that togeather.

I got a great prize of a gift card to Clinerdaggers and a pair of Smart Wool socks, very cool, pretty good for going to Value Village the day before to put my costume togeater dont you think? Check out some of the other costumes in the back ground.

Over all it was a great day and way too much fun with lots of great comradery from all the participants and organizers. Looking forward to doing it again next year. Hummm Maybe I should start on next years costume now after all I have a title to defend, HA HA I finally won something at a race!! YOOO HOOOO. Yeah like thats going to happen, i will be panicing again the day before just like this year. The best intensions always go awry.

 I hope more of you can join us next year, the more the merrier as they say.

Well signing off for now
