Winter - you will ROCK for the run! You have all of us there in spirit to carry you if/when you struggle

Leesa - thanks hon. I knew you'd be stoked DH has given me the go ahead and D wants to give me a trial pass which will also waiver my joining fee... so will wait and see about that.

I think a fitness meet up is an awesome idea! A hike would be perfect! There are a couple around where you can hike and then stay in a cabin over night. And there are good (camping over night) easy to moderate hikes to cater for everyone. My ultimate hike is one in New Zealand which is 5 days and very full on. But you can take an easier option by having people carry your luggage for you so all you have to do is carry your day pack each day. And at night you stay in cabins.
Maybe we could have a BB relay or something and raise money for a children's related cause like SIDS or something! Now THAT would be awesome! We could each do a leg and have multiple goes. Running, walking, swimming, riding... it would be awesome!
