Okay, I was thinking of sending everyone a general PM, but thought it would be easier to just post this question.

Concerning the Porncess. When is your arrival date? I think all of us will be somewhere March 7, night before. I thought it would be fun if we all could get together and have a lowkey dinner somewhere.

I had Olivia's in mind, since a lot of us are staying at/near OKW. If someone else had somewhere else in mind, I am all ears for other opinions. Even maybe Turf Club or something similar. I thought about cooking up (or should I say Mr. Roz cooking up

) a pasta dinner in the villa, but we don't check in until March 7. There is always a possibility that the villa takes forever to be ready KWIM.

So what do ya'll think? If you already have plans, no worries. I just thought it would be a lot of fun to see each other the night before. So who wants to join Gail, Scott and I for dinner? In a few days I'll call and make a ressie. I can't believe we are almost at 5 months and counting!

I'm in for dinner and Olivias is good with me!

Did my 8 miles tonight at a 9:01 pace...for 957 calories burned if you can believe a garmin 201.

I ran pretty fast 'cause it kept me from heaving my lunch, but I had a secondary motivation. The sun was going to be setting and the sunsets have been spectacular lately. If I ran the first 6 at a good clip, I'd be in perfect viewing area for the last 2 mi so that I could really watch the sky. Worked like a charm. Really beautiful. I need to start taking my camera with me so I can share this stuff. I never tire of the sunrises and sunsets around here.

Oh I should also say I'm becoming a huge fan of the fudge for fuel idea. I forgot my water bottle tonight, and had a salty lunch, so I wasn't set up well for a great run. I got a little square of fudge (about 1/6 of a real piece) at about mi. 5.5 and it really made all the difference for the rest of my run.

Here's there website if anyone wants to try this out:

If anyone ends up liking this as fuel, I'll bring fresh stuff for you in March.

I love fudge, but wouldn't it be really messy if you carry it on a run? Might be a nice treat for after the run. Love the peanut butter and chocolate marshmallow myself. Used to love watching them making the fudge and salt water taffy on the boardwalk.

Gail, OK now you'll know how weird I am. If I'm taking a Clif shot block on a run, I bite it in half and wrap each one in wax paper. So, I was figuring on just taking a piece of fudge, cutting it down, and wrapping it up in wax paper. Think it would work?

I just took a clif shot block with me on Sat. for the first time and I wraped mine in foil, so no you aren't weird. I'm not sure that the fudge would stay firm enough during the race. So, I guess you are just going to have to do a test run then so we will know for sure. If I had my choice between the Clif blocks or fudge, well the fudge would win hands down.
