SOunds fun!

I just moved to Vancouver three weeks ago - this sounds like a great way for me to get introduced to Vancouver FatAsses! :)

I have a bright orange run vest I got last year from Rob at Frontrunners in Victoria - he wanted all his run leaders to be highly visible while running in the dark. He also gave us LED lights to hook onto our hats. I'll be there with my orange on!
