Ta da! Here we are. Last walk before the race(s) on Wednesday, and we did great. Special thanks to the valiant few who did 11K when they didn't have to.As we have such a large number away at events this weekend, please do sign in to say if you'll be coming to Tim's for the Saturday walk, which starts at 8 am -- you can pick your distance.
Good luck to Maria at the ALS Walk in London this Saturday! And happy trails to the two who are braving that two-day, 50K hike this weekend. You know who you are!
For the Scotiabank Waterfront Half:
To Olwyn, Cheryl, Leverne, Lynne, Libby, Barb and Breda -- and to Michelle's daughter Suzanne doing her first big race -- we wish you a great time at Scotia on Sunday. Enjoy the waterfront, cheer those Kenyans, do your thing, and have fun.
For the Kitchener-Waterloo Walking Classic 10K:
To the Lucky 13 doing this first walkers-only race, we'll see some of you for dinner at 6 pm on Saturday at Peter Martin's 20 King Restaurant which (oddly) is located at 41 King St W.
On race morning, see you in the lobby of the Delta Inn at 105 King E at 8:15 am. According to Trish, it's .48K from the hotel to the race start, so that gives us a little time for packet exchange and bathroom breaks before the race begins. If you miss us there, see you at City Hall before the race. It looks like there are only about 150 registered in the 10K and about 120 in the 5K, so we probably won't get lost in the crowds.
Bruncheon buffet starts at whenever we're finished the race (or a time to be confirmed by Cynthia) at Boa Nova Rodizio Grill House, 6 Charles St W.
And in-keeping with the egalitarian nature of this blog:
I would like to wish myself a very happy birthday on Sunday. It already sounds like it will be wonderful: perfect walking weather, good friends, good food, brand new medal. Who could ask for more to celebrate? Cheers, everyone!

And I forgot to say: Dawn, enjoy the wedding of the century!
Have a great weekend, everyone.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELEN!
I agree, a walk with good buddies is a great way to spend a birthday!
And good luck to everyone who will be out there earning medals this weekend.
I'll be at Tim's at 8, will go whatever distance people want.
Cheers
Debbie
Happy Birthday Helen, you fabulous Babe, you! Make sure you have some post-race cake; with lots of ice cream ~ you will have earned it!
And best of luck to everyone this weekend, on all walks and distances everywhere.
I'll see my Scotiabank buddies on Sunday morning; why don't we try and meet by Henry Moore's 'The Archer', at 7:00am? Olwyn
Good luck to all walkers this weekend! Here's hoping for a bright sunny day!
I won't be at Tim's on Saturday - I have to save myself for the big event!
Looking forward to meeting up with the KW group for dinner Sat.
Thanks to all who have booked hotel rooms, reserved restaurants and organized rides.
For next year the KW group is planning a half-marathon walking event. Maybe this could replace the Scotia event. Food for thought at our Novemeber get together.
Happy Birthday Helen! Enjoy your race and to all the other racers this weekend..Happy trails
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELEN ...

Wishing you a wonderful weekend whatever you do, wherever you are. Don't forget to give your loved one(s) a big hug.
If anyone wears Brooks, there a great deal at the expo for Scotiabank. Brooks has a race price of $70/pair on all of their shoes.

Hi guys,
Change of plan - woke up this morning just too tired...need more sleep! So I won't be at Tim's. Will walk on my own later in the day.
Have a great walk and a good weekend!
