"Stuff"

Hey Ladies,
Just wanted to ask a few questions...update on somethings and say "hi." So for starters...hi. :)

1) Just confirming Wednesday at 5:30 at Courts? I'll be there.

2) Is anyone going to do the TV Commercial at Scheels on Thursday?

3) Is anyone going to do anything in the Prairie Rose State Games in July? I hear they are having a 5k, 10k and Tri-athalon. I'd be interested in running. Just curious if anyone else is thinking about it.

4) Wanted to update you that we officially have a team of 12 for the Great River Relay!!!! We are registered as Women High On Running (W.H.O.R.s) with a team number of 99! Yay! Our teammates are myself, Heidi Bierdeman, Benita Nordenstrom, Jen Dees, Melinda Rogers, Candace Ell, Leslie Brunette, Krista Andrews, Jane Horien, Robin Quade (RRR member), Nicole Kungle (RRR member) and Jill Thompson (random girl from Fargo that was found by Robin Quade!) So, we are set to go. If you guys have any creative ideas for us....to decorate our vehicle, costumes, "survival" for the 36 hour race, fun music, etc, etc....let us know!!!! We have lots of hill training to do!

5) I won't be at the TRF this Friday or the RRR run on Saturday....my 10 year reunion. I am nervous and excited...and nervous and excited. But I am going to try place in my age group in the 5K saturday morning in Grafton....with or without a hang over!

TRF Schedule?

Has anyone been receiving the emails regarding what the plan is for the TRF each week? Just curious. Travis mentioned that I should be getting emails about that. (I haven't yet.....so if anyone has received the email could you forward it to me?)

Vegas was a BLAST! Now.... back to reality :)

Tracy's Bachelorette Party is Sat, June 30th

Save the date! I don't know the details yet, but location will be Downtown Fargo. Time and place TBD. Janie and Lynn will be sending out an E-vite in the next few days and/or we'll post to this blog.

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!!! :)

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.
