So far as snow is concerned, we have anywhere between a 15 to 30+cm base of hard pack, very runable snow. I've been in running on it for the last 2 days. Covered half the course Friday, it was nice, no sprains or strains. Running in the mornings is best, before the sun gets to it, because it can get sloppy. With 20 days to go, keep your fingers crossed and hopefully mother nature will be nice to us, no suprises. Well got to go the trails are calling!

For those who haven't heard, the fools are back in Ojai for Coyote2Moon. An early season 100 miler that gets these guys to put on a few flash events.

 Good omen of the day: we saw a coyote cross the road on the way to lunch!

For those of you not running the "Go Home",check this out...

This just in, from Jeff, our run-coordinator and tidemaster.

He has set up a Wiki site. Nice!

I am looking to put together a joint Team from Club Fat Ass and the Capilano Eagles.  Cycleebetes is an event to raise money for a cure for juvenile diabetes.   A team of 1-12 riders spin on stationary bikes relay style for 24 hours.  The goal is for each team to raise $1000. 

Hi Everybody,

I'm looking for a good set of stairs to train on in North Vancouver, the longer and steeper the better. Any suggestions (besides the Grind)?

I have been doing some writing on my "other" blog. http://jackal100.blogspot.com/ please enter my survey on "feet taping"... (Ultratalk)

I dug out my hydration pack today to get packed up for the Squamish Scrambler tomorrow.  To my disgust I found the thing was overgrown with specks of mold....Yuck.

I have been taking great care to dry out the bladder, tube and mouth piece after each use... but after Mike and Melissa's run in November I was so bushed that I must have just dumped the water and lovely Action Jackson packed the thing away.   It's been rotting quietly in the basement storage ever since. 

Today, while out running, I found a YakTrak.  Did you lose one, by chance?

Last week I found one, too.  (Dho!  Different make and different size.)  A few weeks before that, Colin found one, as well!  How can you lose one of these and not notice?

So the Squamish Scrambler is on for this Sunday.  For those who have done it before the only real difference is that you will have to rent your own snowshoes (NSA $10, or Cove or Deakin).

Hopefully I can arrange for a clear day and some spectaculra views (see Flikr page of previous years) but it will be great to get up on snow shoes none the less. 

Any newbies contact me with any questions you may have regarding the event or Sibylle with any club registration questions.
