A happy life

Long time no type. A happy wife is one that has had her husband call her 'Miss Daisy' as I drive her around after her foot surgery. I am sure there is also some driving up the wall too...She is slowly healing from her foot fix so hopefully a happy wife will be trotting with us all once again.

If you have forgotten what the group looks like, we will be on full display Saturday at Eau Claire. I am thinking 9 am. Next week being the first week of June we will revert to 8 am and freak out some of the late risers! Sorry Susan and Sharon and Jodi and Char. Shar will be so happy!

There are so many good opportunities to trot that our friend Greg shared some with us. I thought I would spread the love...

* Sunday, June 2 -- Camp Chief Hector YMCA 10K-5K trail races in K-Country. Incredible scenery, totally doable route (no mountain climbs), amazing post-race food. You can find a link on Camp Chief Hector YMCA Facebook page in a post for April 10

* Saturday, July 13 -- Spaghetti Western 15K relay or solo in Airdrie. New race, put on by Scott and Margaret of Quicksilver Running, who do the top-notch Back 9 in the fall. Takes place on paved bike paths. Info at 

* Friday, July 19 -- Sole Survivor 10-mile, 10K, 5K in Crowsnest Pass. Starts at 7:30 p.m. Gorgeous setting, fun atmosphere, terrific post-race food, and even beer and soda. Streets and bike paths around Blairmore.

* Sunday July 21 -- Bragg Creek Days 10K-3K. Awesome setting, nice small town race, lotsa draw prizes, 10K is probably half and half trail and road.  

   

* Saturday, Aug. 17 -- Brian Mazza 20K-10K-3K trail run in Crimson Lake near Rocky Mountain House. Beautiful setting, run on nice and wide trails around Crimson Lake, pretty shady. Course is not terribly difficult. link for Brian Mazza Trail Run is on main page. 

Now really, can any of these be boring? I think not!!!

Our friend Gerardo has an art show this weekend. If you want to avoid the wet please take a look at his fabulous wood carvings!

Gerardo's work is all wood carvings. Bob, are you in???

The show will feature the work of different artists from the State of the Art Society, of which I am a member.

I will be at the Strathcona Community Centre this Friday, May 24th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and Saturday May 25th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

I am looking forward to showing my new pieces that I have been working on.

This weekend I will be joining Joy, Ally, Tamara, Dan, and Lorianne as we guide all the quick runners around the three distances of the Calgary Marathon, half, and 10 km. Look for us in our Subaru vehicles but watch out as we are all looking behind. We wouldn't want to create another speed bump in the road of trotting.
