I would also like to draw your attention to a great program Breathe Magazine is involved in.

We are looking for a few volunteers to submit scheduled CFA events to online calendars.  To help out you'll need a computer, Internet access, basic computer skills and a couple of hours (more if you like).

The task is fairly straight forward. You will be working from a mastersheet containing all event information, like date, name, distance and description.  Let me know if you can spare a couple of hours and I'll discuss details with you.

I am happy to announce that Vanessa Fors has taken on the role of Event Host Chair for the CFA Steering Committee.

Vanessa has been on the Steering Committee since the fall of 2007 and has been the driving force behind the design and production of the Fat Ass Wear no stink shirts.  Her role as the Event Host Chair will be to help Event Hosts put on a safe and successful Club Fat Ass events.

And the winner is...Baldwin! 

Baldwin rated himself 91% on achieving his resolutions for 2008.  I was tempted to deduct some points for not washing his CFA collectors shirt all year, but his lead was impressive and he truly deserved his win. 

Baldwin received a pair of running shoes from Club Business member, Kintec Footlabs.

You can see Baldwin's winning resolutions, and all of the other ones for 2008 below.

A quick reminder that there are only a few hours left to get the 2009 "collectors edition" Club t-shirt.

This just crossed my desk and some of you might be interested.  While for most Canadians the question probably is if anybody can do this, I know that there are a number of runners in Club Fat Ass who could take on this challenge (actually, one might argue that most runners would adapt to this kind of mileage) The main issue would be the time committment:

Greetings Canadian athletes,

Are you a passionate athlete who draws inspiration from Terry Fox's
Marathon of Hope?

I am happy to announce that this year's winner of the early bird registration draw (as determined by a draw by my children) is Paul Cubbon of North Vancouver.  Paul is a long time member of Club Fat Ass. He conceived and organized the Stormy Trail Race in Squamish before moving back to the big smoke and handing the Stormy reigns to Wendy. 

Paul wins a full refund on his 2009 membership. Congratulations, Paul!

I would like to pass on a big Thank you to everyone that joined us for the slide show at Kintec Footlabs.  A special thanks to all the presenters as well, there were some great stories told.  We had 25 people in attendance on the rainy evening.
