March - Heat The Streets

March 1st will be the Heat the Streets 5k at Midtown Crossing in Omaha.  Its a benefit to raise money for energy assistance in the area.  

 

 

 

Not ready for a 5K?  There is a 1mile option (be careful when you register to choose the right race.  5k is $35 and 1mi is $25).  The entire race entry fee is tax deductible.  

 

Be sure to register under the team name "Ladies First".  The 5K starts at 9am and the 1 mile starts at 9:30.  I've even heard they'll be taking team pictures!  Packet Pickup is at Lifetime Fitness at Midtown Crossing on Friday from 4-7pm or Saturday starting at 7am.  Following the race we can head to a restaurant for breakfast!  If you are not up for either one, feel free to come cheer us on and meet up with us after!

February - Omaha Roller Girls

Anyone else over this winter already and ready for a change....a little spice?  We've decided to spice things up with our February meeting by attending an Omaha Rollergirls Rollerderby game!  Their home opener is at the Mid-America Center in CB on Saturday, Feb 1st.  Tickets are $12 at the door night of the show, parking is free, show starts at 7p and doors open at 6p.  For those who wish to carpool, we will meet at Vine Street at 6p and since its a Saturday night, go ahead and throw out options for dinner/drinks/appetizers afterward.  Please let Andrea know if you plan on going and whether or not you'll be carpooling.

February 2014

One of our ladies suggested going to watch the Omaha Roller Girls Roller Derby so that is where we are off to next month. Feb 1 is the ORG's season opener. This is held at the MAC and starts at 7.  Tickets are around $12.

Details are still being finalized but looking forward to a fun time. I'm sure we will have a little stop before or after so stay tuned for details!

A great start to the new year!

Even though we had some crazy cold temps,  about ten of us got together to celebrate the first day of 2014. It was nice to see some old faces as well as well! 

Unfortunately, we didn't get a picture this time! 

Hope to see you again in February!
