Walk: Mon. Jan. 21 @ Loblaws

It's 8K on Monday, and we'll work in 3-4 intervals, similar to what we did last week. See you at Loblaws; we set out at 7 sharp.

If you visit the website, you might notice that I've changed the look. There's now a white bar at the end of each post, which should make it easier for you to find the comments link. Also, I've tweaked the colours so you can link more readily to our Google Group. (Note that you must click on the actual text that says "Visit this group" to do that.)

Have a look at our updated Interests lists, too. A number of us have signed up for both the Alfie Shrubb 8K and the Quebec Half. Alfie is capped at 500 entrants, so don't leave it too late.

For Quebec, the issue might be finding accommodations. Apparently, Celine Dion is giving a concert on the Plains of Abraham that weekend. Cynthia has reserved three rooms at a B&B near our house on the island -- please contact her if you're interested in one of them.

Saturday meeting place heads-up: Tim's is closing for renos for a month (Jan. 21 to Feb. 23) and Wendy's, too, though not as long (Jan. 21 to Feb. 4). A couple of alternative meeting places have been proposed; however, here's your chance to weigh in. We need somewhere with parking, bathrooms, coffee and food for afterwards. Suggestions?

Finally, thanks to sharp-eyed member Karin for the tip that Canadian Tire has WinterTrax on sale for $9.99. Looks like they're a light-weight version of YakTrax, but at that price it might be worth picking up a pair, even if you have to save them for next year.

Are you sitting down? I'll be there too and so will Sharon. What say you Dawn?

not me, tonight.
Cynthia, I'm getting worried about you - have you run out of reasons to not train?

I won't be out tonight. I have a presentation tomorrow night worth 25% of my course. I need to get the last of my notes in order. Will see you all on Wed.
