The good: Our family is going to Calgary for the weekend, as the company Kevin is with is celebrating their 100 year anniversary and they’re having a huge celebration. They’ve rented out Heritage Park for us, so our family is going to have a blast! (I was just reading this brochure over coffee, and we have total free run of the park … including the midway games … which will THRILL my kids as I always say no to those pay-$10-for-a-dollar-store-prize games…) It should be a good time, and we’ll be staying with our friends that were here in the summer. Our friend is running in Melissa’s Road Race in Banff, but we’ll have to cheer him on with great vibes all the way from Heritage Park!?

Has anyone ran Melissa’s? It may be a goal for me for next year …

The bad: The weekend has turned into such a tight schedule, that I won’t be able to meet up with the Pink Lady herself. I really wanted to, and hope to in November when we’re down. I told her I wanted to run with her, but I draw the line at my butt pictures on her blog … lol. Dawn wrote back saying that I’d have to run behind her then! I’ve been envious of all of these RBF meet-ups …hopefully I’ll get to join the ranks soon.

The ugly: Oh ya … Dawn did tell me that she plans to run for 2 and a half hours on Saturday. Ummmm. Wow, girl. And suddenly, I’m grateful for the tight schedule … lol … (Oh, and Dawn … the run would be ugly for me … I’m sure it’ll be fabulous for you!!!)

Have an awesome weekend of running, everyone!

Ya know my ears were tingling all afternoon and now I know why. Ya was all talking about me, eh! Sorry we can’t get together this weekend. I’ve heard a lot about Melissa. It fills up fast and so early so I have never considered it, but perhaps next year. Maybe we can make it an Alberta RBF run with Mark, Aaron, you, Karen and a few others around here. Have a great weekend. Heritage park is supposed to be a blast – I haven’t made it there yet.

I was thinking the same thing as Dawn! Maybe and RBF getaway! I know Heather wanted to get into it this year and didn’t even get a sniff because it was filled up withing hours and she couldn’t even get through on the internet! Have a great weekend!

Yeah, ya gotta watch those promised long runs with Dawn. And its very possible she sneak you into a race without telling you. “Oh, all these other people? Must be a popular place to run. Uh, put this number on your shirt. And turn around.” :D

Bummer you all couldn’t get together, but it sounds like another chance is coming up.
