So, I had an idea. Instead of meeting at the designated meet-your-people spot (big letters, so, say, if we were meeting there we could gather under C for CSN), why not meet at the survivor hats booth since that's what we are: survivors. If you've never participated before, what happens is you trot yourself over to the survivors booth to get your free hat before the race. Just a thought. It feels positive, you know.

Very excited. Since I slog up from San Diego, this year we made reservations at the hotel across the street. Get up, have coffee, shuffle over to the race -- no more parking woes!

See you soon.

xoxo

    Victoria... I signed up for the race. This will be my first time ever! You sound like you have the details worked out. I plan to take the bus shuttle over with "The Wellness Community" group as I have never done this and I have heard parking can be a real hassle.

    I am game for meeting folks at the survivors booth. I look forward to seeing the CSN Kindred Spirits and the many many other Survivors!

    Take care, God bless.

    The LA Revlon Walk
    is always the day before Mother's Day -- makes it easy to plan.

    It's a pleasure to walk for all my pink sisters. I'm grateful to be here and able to do it:)

    See you there, Ines!

    Wow
    It's gotta be the Raddison!! How about a glass of wine (red, good for my heart) the night before?

    We're totally splurging -- this is not a cheap parking spot, but ohhhhhh, so worth it:)

    Hmm. What time. I have to look what time it supposedly starts.

    See you there!!

    Reggie and I have stayed at the Raddison a time before (last year it was already booked and we stayed at a scary place!) Just know that it is a (in my opinion) hotel/dorm! Lots of USC students and their families, so it is not the "classiest" of hotels.
    On the other hand, it has a great bar! Reggie and I had dinner and drinks there the night before~ and being as it is so close to the event, we actually had time to go downstairs and have a real breakfast before the 5K! The best part ( and I know you remember last years parking debacle!) is that hotel check-out isn't until noon, so you can leave your car in their parking lot and we can whooo hooo walk across the street and drive out after the event! It really doesn't get much better than that!
    See you soon!!!

    Hugs,
