Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of year again for those who make resolutions...

Because of a torn calf muscle, my resolutions and plans for 2010 were modest.  It's time to look back and evaluate how I did:

Goal #1: Vancouver New Years Day Fat Ass 50km.  
Achievement: Accomplished 100% - not only did I finish the full 50km, I also improved my time.

I am happy to announce the winners of the 2010 Club Point Series.  Yes, we have a tie.  Reagan and Jess battled it out until the very end, but then, with true sportsmanship decided that they rather be co-champions than have a tiebreaker.

And the winner is....

I am happy to announce that Rachel Fouladi is the winner of the 2010 Refer a Friend contest.  As a new member, Rachel talked 3 of her friends into becoming Fat Asses.  They will be forever grateful .

In case you wonder, old Action Jackson and Sibylle like to compete, but are not in the running...

Just a reminder that registration for your 2011 Club Fat Ass membership is open and ongoing.  

If you are thinking of participating in our first event of the year, the classic Vancouver New Year's Day Fat Ass 50km Run and Freeze Your Fat Ass Swim, plan to do a couple of select Club Fat Ass trail running events, a night run or two, or if you are aiming to win in any of our annual contests, now is the best time to renew your membership or sign-up for the first time!

All of the 2010 annual Club contests are coming to a close!

The Wilder Snail is a warm, intimate neighborhood cafe/grocery set in the historic Strathcona neighborhood near Downtown Vancouver - what better place to start a Christmas Eve flash event that would span the urban jungle and along a rain and wind-swept seawall?

Run off the holiday treats with us as we train for Orcas Island 50km. Please indicate your participation in a comment below.

START: 7am, Bean Around the World, Parkgate Village at Mt. Seymour Road. Yes, it's early, but Kelly is heading out of town at noon, and it'll be nice to get it out of the way before the teenager wakes up :-)

ROUTE: First half is same as Seymour Super Fun Run, but here's my description:
