The Diva Dash is on December 2nd, 2006 and is held at Seward Park at 9am. It's a very fun, very cute 5K. There will be more details next month, but it's not too soon to start training - especially if it's your first race. The Healthy Bride is a sponsor, monies go to a great organization "Girls on the Run". Let's get a group and run as brides! Go to www.divadash.com for more information.

The Seattle Half Marathon is a great way to work off that Thanksgiving Day meal! The race is on Sunday, November 26, 2006 at 7:30am.

So far we have Christi, Rae, Naomi, Becky, and Annika committed. Join us!

Bottom line: You will want to start your training now for the 5k, and you really should already be running at least 5 miles at one time to get to 13 by next month.
