My training for the Vancouver New Year's Run got slightly of track over the last 2 weeks. Fighting a stomach bug just couldn't get me excited going out in wet trails. Then I missed Dom's Go Home and all all my mid-week runs last week...

Club Fat Ass membership registration and renewal is open for 2006.

As you probably know, I custom order our Club colors three (3) times a year in January, May and August. If you would like your club t- shirt included in the January shipment, I will need to know before the end of November. If you are new to the Club, or would like to tell a friend or gift a membership for Christmas, please note that all new members get free access to all remaining Club events in 2005, all events in 2006 and a t-shirt for only $35. Our Membership fees will go up to $50 in January, so what are you waiting for? Please take a moment and sign-up now !

Come and join Mike and Melissa for their annual M&M Run on the hilly, rocky trails of lower and upper Seymour Mountain. You can do one or two loops of approximately 26 kilometers. Prepare for all the Christmas indulgence. 'A potluck finisher brunch' - everyone contributes, everyone enjoys!!

I thought this might be of interest to some of our members:

Event Report (by Ean Jackson)

I was just reading Geoff’s comment in Sibylle Tinsel’s popular blog discussion about running in the rain. To summarize, Geoff doesn’t like to run in the rain because he ends up with bloody nipples. Sibylle, in turn calls him a wuss and suggests he use Band-Aids.

Only three more days left to the second annual Go Home 20 trail run. Join us on Saturday, 19 November, for a beautiful, challenging 20km run on single track trails in the North Shore Mountains. The weather forecast is looking splendid with dry skys and above average temperatures for the weekend...However, be prepared for the elements as conditions in the mountains can change fast!

For all those procrastinators out there...The deadline to order your great technical 2006 Club shirt is looming. In order to get the size you want and make my life easier, please renew your membership (or sign-up as a new member) now. Signing up later will still get you a shirt, but I will not be able to guarantee sizes.
