Jingle Ribbits, Blinging Westies, and Tree Trot Trips.

Thanks for coming out to the annual Trot to the tree on a warm and sunny Saturday morning. Will definitely not be the same tonight. Thanks to those below for helping decorate the tree for the 10th-ish year. 

I see Char, Neil, Joanne, Peter, Liz, and Lorianne up top with a little Merlin sweeping the floors.

Memories of an old trot with young friends. One of these people just celebrated a birthday on Friday the 13th. I will let you guess. One clue, she is wearing slick tights!

Merry Christmas from the Jingle Ribbits.

Hello everybody. another foot of snow in Calgary makes for some great toboggan weather for when the little nieces arrive in T-3 days. Sunday at 8 am our Christmas vacation starts - and our free time ends! But I can't wait to dunk their little heads into the six foot high snow pile I have made in the back yard.

A quick recap of last weeks events. As you may recall we participated in the annual Amble with Angus. We had a successful journey to the third highest fundraising team in the event. Thanks to all for your support.

Warmed by the fire of Flames Central - with Tamara and Carroll.
Carroll can't move her jaw it was so cold

Seeing the McDougall Centre and the busy politicians always gets a smile

This week we will have the usual trot from an unusual place. Let's head to Max Bell Arena and do a loop around the zoo. Shall we see you around 9 am? I thought so!

As for the next week or so, Tuesday and Thursday night are definitely out for me. I am sure Lauren at the Tech Shop will have some great deals for the group if you show up for the Boxing Day trot. With having the family in town until Jan 2 I might be conspicuous in my absence. Just don't forget to support the rest of the group and share the paths!

Speaking of Lauren and the Tech Shop. She is hosting a new learn to run class starting the first week of January. If you fell off the wagon, broke your leg, but have the gumption to get back out there and do it again, give her a dingle and I guarantee she will take care of you with check-backs and high-fives.

May you always have a little:

In your life and wear your seasonal colours well

Merry Christmas and thanks for being a running buddy.
