POLAR PLUNGE 2010
Once again its time to shed your inhibitions, fear, commons sense and clothes (bathing suits are pretty much required it’s a family event)!

When: New Years Day of course!
Where: Neahkahnie Beach, the parking lot just north of the stop sign on Beulah Reed Road. It’s the last big parking area on the north end of the beach. (one mile north of Laneda Ave downtown).
Time: 10:00 am that’s the time we meet and take pictures and have our friends (the ones not doing it) laugh at us. Then we “just do it”. Please try to be on time so we don’t have to freeze our tuckus off while you are running up yelling “wait for me”!
Rules: Very Important – We have to gather on the beach together and form a group so we can take a group photo, in our bathing suits, then there is a countdown and we all run in the ocean together!
Post: We hope to have a big fire on the beach to cozy up to after the plunge. Then you are invited to come by spa manzanita for hot cider, tea, treats and war stories!
Any questions: If you want to know if it’s crazy to jump in the ocean in January the answer is yes, so come join us!!! Any other questions just call or email Janice Gaines at the spa.

Manzanita Pace Setters
January 10th 2009
Manzanita Pace Setter Charter Group Photo
Hi,
I am so excited the Manzanita Pace Setters are off to a super start.
We had 15 people, including an 8 year old girlĀ Katie that ran the whole 3 miles with her mom.
And two dogs!
Some folks ran, some jogged and plenty of walkers, its all good.
We collected a full box of food for the North County Food Bank and that is the topping on the cake.
The plan is to meet every Saturday morning rain or shine and head out a new course each week that will be approximately 3 miles with optional add-on milage. You can walk, jog, trot, canter, lope or sprint its up to you! Do you own thing!
Yes you can bring:
Dogs (bring a leash in case we do a road thats a bit busier)
Kids
Roller Skates
ThereĀ are no rules but you did need to show up and if you can bring a can of food for the donation.
Come join us anytime!
