ps. Great wedding story Melinda! You must have heard me complaining about how expensive weddings are. Crazy!

Week of May 18th

Okay Ladies!!!
Running around West Fargo is getting a little boring for me (and I miss seeing all of you!!). Is anybody interested in some 5:30 or 5:45 am runs from Courts or the Y this week?? I am thinking anywhere between 4 and 6 miles at least a couple of times this week.

I am going to run tomorrow am (Monday) but I don't know if this is going out too late. If anyone is interested--give me a call at home. 282-9259.

Kim, Dianne and any other Turtle runners--I need some info on the race like where to register, etc. Can you fill me in???

Hope to see you all this week.

Jill--you too--with a belly band!!! :)

For those of you readers out there, I am looking for some good running related books for my summer reading. I know Leah mentioned one-will you give me the author of that?
Thanks for your help with my summer entertainment.

Wed Run

Diane and I are planning to run 8 miles on Wed am at 5:30. We are running with a couple of gals from courts plus. We are starting at Brenda's house, she has a tighter schedule than us. Her address is 1755 Park Blvd S. It is the street immediately to the west of South High track. These gals are fast, but they let us set the pace, so do not be intimidated. I know there is a chance for t-storms, so if it is lightning, we will cancel.

Hi from the road

Hi all! We've been gone less than a week (4 days) and I'm already anxious to get home...I managed to get through the tour of Northwestern without embarassing Cassie. What a beautiful campus! We're on our way to Huntingdon, PA to see Juniata college, by way of Cleveland, Ohio. We plan to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow before we get on the road again.

I got my 7 mile run in on Friday- we stayed at a hotel with an amazing fitness center- tvs in every machine, cool wet cloths for when you were finished, cold and room temp water- bikes, treadmills, stairsteppers, efx machines- it was great. Cassie and I even went swimming- the pool room was heated to 98 degrees and the pool was about 80. I wish we could have stayed there longer!

Hope things are going well for you all!

Weekend/Day at the Lake or Breakfast at the Lake????

Hi Ladies,
I told you that I would get back to you on the weekend that we could potentially get together out on Pelican Lake.

It is the weekend of June 23rd-24th.

I know that it is summer and everyone is busy with other fun family stuff. We could do a couple of different things (or none of them if everyone is too busy)--you guys decide!!

1. Go for a run Saturday am and then just do a potluck Brunch at the cabin.
2. Go for a Saturday run and spend the day together--we have a pontoon, jet ski and tubes---& hopefully some sunshine!!!
3. Make it a girls weekend--we could potluck and overnight kinda like we did at Benita's.

I think this could be a ton of fun--no matter what we do!!! Let me know what your thoughts are, and we'll try to put something together!!
