Spring Dash 2019 CDA, Idaho

Wind, rain, hail but we all gathered for another year to do the Spring Dash in CDA!  We were under shelter here! Jackie, Kat, Freida, Leslie.  Leslie was new to the crew this year and we were missing Sheila and Michelle!
 Marianne joined the picture.
Kat's face is how we all really felt about doing the race!
 Look! A little blue sky.  There was hope!!!  It didn't last!
 Right along the lake.  No matter what the weather this is beautiful.


 A fast guy!  He was on his way back.
 Not as fast as the fast guy but fast! Kat and
Freida!
 Marianne!
While the rest of the group were running we stopped and ate Girl Scout Cookies.  They offered!  We really couldn't say no.

 Peggy and Bonnie thought the race started at 10:00 and it started at 9:30.  Minor detail!

 See, it was windy.  This tree proves it.  He had hail but not enough gather on the ground for a picture.
 Done!
 Now off to our favorite bakery and lunch spot.
Kat was watching her dog!  Doggie camera at home! 
 Leslie and Marianne!
 That is one giant cinnamon roll.
 Looks like she is going to enjoy every bite!
 The cinnamon roll still hasn't been eaten.  Bonnie and Peggy joined us for lunch.
Waterproof gear was a must on this day.  It always feels good to finish knowing the conditions weren't perfect.  We did it despite the weather and it was good to be together.  That's what it's all about friends spending time together!

It's All About the Shirts and They Ran Out! Spring Dash 2016

Well, that was disappointing.  They ran out of shirts in many of the sizes.  Why?  Probably because they gave them to people who registered yesterday.  Only speculation on my part.  They are going to call us when they get more printed up!

Oh what a beautiful morning! What a great day for the Spring Dash.  We have done it in snow, rain, and now this! Fabulous!  
As always Coeur d Alene is a sight to be seen.  The lake,  the blue skies, the trees starting to break out with leaves!


 The route was a bit different but personally I liked it the best.
Lots more people this year.  I did not know this race has been going on almost as long as Bloomsday.  I thought we discovered it in it's infancy, not so!
 Freida, Jamie, Sheila and Michelle.
 Add Jackie and take out Jamie.
 I think there are plants and patio furniture on the top of this building.  Fancy!
 Here we go! Blast off.








 First male to pass us going the other direction.
 Second male! Not sure if they finished one and two.  There were a couple of miles left.
 And just in case you want to paddle board!
 First woman!
 Our friend Freida!

 Sheila and Jamie were a bit ahead of us.  This was the turn around.
 All I have to say is AHHHH!  We live in a beautiful place.





 The home stretch.  5 miles complete!
 We went out to lunch at our favorite place but no food pictures.  I was too busy eating!
