This is a big announcement!
Dawn, Coach Dianne and I would like to invite you all to a Penguin Encounter we’re planning in Calgary for July 2006, our Penguin
Stampede! Come and race a 10k, Half Marathon or Marathon with us and we’ll do our best to share with you sights and other sensations of the Calgary Stampede.
You might have read about how much fun we had in Tampa, at the Penguin Winter Carnival and Gasparilla Classic last February. This is your chance to find out for yourself how much fun a Penguin Encounter can be. It does not matter if you have never considered yourself a Penguin, the Running Blog Family is very welcome to join us and experience what a BLAST it can be to spend time together like this.
If you are interested in attending, or just would like to follow along from afar, please drop by our Penguin Stampede blog for evolving details regarding event options, places to stay, who will be coming, and how much fun we’re hoping to have.
Discussions are already underway and we would be happy to welcome your suggestions and questions at ourPenguin Stampede Yahoo Group .
This week we put up a tentative schedule, and hopefully within the next couple of days we’ll have up a detailed list of pros and cons regarding accommodations and associated costs. I’m really looking forward to discussing what kinds of topics you’d like for workshops and helping you decide between all the fun things to do while you’re here.
Somewhere in all this celebration I hope to run my very first marathon, so I might as well invite a few friends along for the ride, eh? Come. Run. Have FUN!
