Are We There Yette? - Group Running in Lafayette, CO

Clare Reda who be completing her quest of 50K races in all 50 states on the weekend of November 22nd! If you have not met Clare, you really need to have a chat with her. Worth mentioning that Dennis Reda has also participated in every race. Maybe not 50K in all of them, but still.

Well-behaved dogs and children are welcome. With the switch back to standard time, it will be dark! So, personal illumination is essential. The route map is attached.

Any fun races coming up? I want to call out my truly inspiring hero,

Who: Everyone is welcome! Walkers, runners, or those who just want to socialize.

The food truck this week is Rev Mex. They are scheduled until 7pm, but I will double check to see if they can stay open a bit later.

Hello Yettes,

I will be handling the posts for November and I know they typically come out on Tuesday, but I was super excited!

Where: Liquid Mechanics Brewing Company

When: Thursday, Nov 6th. Meet at 6pm. Picture at 6:10pm then run / walk.

Everyone is welcome; you can walk, jog, bike or even drive (designated drivers or Ubers encouraged). Please just show up!!!

We can either hang at Cellar West and enjoy their Mexican food truck or end at Liquid Mechanics. Everyone is welcome to go cut the course short and skip Sanitas for a shorter route or whatever you decide. In true Yette fashion, it's choose your own adventure.

Hi Yettes,

So we are planning a brewery run for my birthday this Sunday Nov 2nd. Wilko has come up with a fun route. We will meet at Liquid Mechanics at 2:00 for a beer, then head out to Odd 13 for another beer, then to Sanitas for you guessed it, another beer, then to Cellar West.

Also, a huge shout-out to Westbound & Down Mill - Lafayette for staying open late for us and being awesome overall.

Next week, we start November at Liquid Mechanics Brewing Company. Be there!

Were we spooky or just cooky? I'm either case, it was a heck of a night before Halloween! Thanks to everyone who came out in costume, everyone who didn't who got to vote in the contest, and to our big winner Kim Springer with her S-Cape (Escape) costume!

After Thursday's walk/run, we'll take a group photo of costumed participants. The best costume wins a four-pack of Westbound and Down beer! (Running in costume is not required. Feel free to dress up after walking/running.)

Ten years is an accomplishment no matter the task or tradition. It has been an honor to serve this group and call each and every member a friend (even if I fumble names more often than I'd like). Last night was about a community coming together to have fun and share in good times and a common joy.

So thank you, Lafayette, our local brewery hosts, and of course all you Yettes out there! Here’s to many more AWTY gatherings! 🥂🎶👟

We start with something in common—walking, running, Lafayette, beverages, food trucks, kindness—and that common thread has been a beautiful conduit for growing this great little community. 💛
