Walk: Sat. June 7 @ Tim's

It's going to be hot, hot, hot! Lucky for us, we're doing only 8K on Saturday. That's a beachside walk to the end of the boardwalk and back.

Let's think of Michelle doing the 60K Walk for Breast Cancer Research in Ottawa this weekend. There's still time to sponsor her through this link. Here's her message (the emphatic bold is mine):

The 60K starts bright and early Saturday; will end mid-afternoon Sunday. We will walk 32 km the first day, 28 the second, apparently skirting the Rideau and Ottawa Rivers and the Rideau Canal at various times.

“They” are forecasting 32 degrees for the weekend! And 30% POP. Hope “they” are seriously mistaken, cause I already feel like a Schlubb, having grumbled about the cold morning for the Alfie Shrubb on Sunday. Also hope I won’t lose my toenails like Susan did on her very, very, very long trek last summer.

P.S. I sold this gorgeous 1956 Lady Schick electric razor on ebay yesterday. It put me over my $2,000 fundraising goal. Yippee!!!! BTW: The razor—which was my mother’s—still works. They don’t design appliances like this anymore. (Note: different “they” than the people who forecast the weather.)

Good Speed, Michelle! See you the rest of you guys Saturday! Wear your sunscreen, and break out the BodyGlide.

P.S. Here are details on a 7-week summer course with Wow Powerwalking: Mondays, July 7 to Aug. 18, 7-8:30 pm. Meet at Starbucks on Queen, west of Woodbine. Cost: $91 + $4.55 GST ($95.55, all in). Instructor: Jane Heath, who teaches us now. We need at least 8 people, and I've had 4 replies -- anyone else?
