I read somewhere that there is an ugly sweater party this Saturday at The Marlay in support of Toys for Tots. It made me smile at all the ugly sweaters gathered together. I remember we did an ugly jacket run but that was many runs ago. Pink Palooza holiday bazaar is this Friday. There is a handmade gift fair at Oakhurst Church on Saturday. Healing gifts from the heart will be at the Oakhurst Gardens. Druid Hills Baptists has their Christmas Fair Trade/Alternative Gift Fair and Open House. There seems to be a theme in these first couple of events. Avondale is hosting their Christmas Tour of Homes. DHS is showing The Nutcracker as performed by the Callanwolde Dance Ensemble. The holidays are such a busy time of the year.
Anything else is going on this week/weekend?
On the running side, there is not much in local races this weekend. There is a Jingle Jog in Atlanta and Sleighbells on the Square in Marietta. Other than that, the runs are farther off. The weekend end after has more stuff going on but the running event that is the Va-Hi jingle job is closed out. It amazes me that Va-Hi has a lot of runs in that neighborhood and they usually sell out. And its not like the sell outs are for a limited number that makes for a small attended race. The starting lines are usually crowded. Good for them that they have putting on races down to a successful science.
This Wednesday you will be running the Winter route, route 12. A bulk of it is along DeKalb Av and W Howard on the PATH. But there are nice rolling hills getting there through MAK and Winnona. It's dark out there so wear your brightest, most reflective, most light flashing running wear. The link to the route is at the bottom of this e-mail. After the run it's off to Mojo's Pizza for food, drinks and trivia.
Enjoy your run Wednesday night. Thanks for making the Oakhurst Running Club one of the friendliest running club in Atlanta.
