Walk: Wed. Jan. 14 @ Shoppers

Tonight, we trekked through the mountains of the Himalayas, as interpreted by snow. There were peaks of 10-12 feet out there. We stayed in the foothills. It was a good workout for a short walk; sort of like walking on top of well-oiled ball bearings.

Wednesday, shows 6-8K on the schedules -- the longer distance is for the Chilly Halfers. However, it is Doc Soup night for some of us, so we'll have to make up the distance somehow. As we have so many away, it's helpful for the others if you sign in to say aye or nay. That way, no one finds themselves all alone. Have a great walk.

Tonight, you will have received a message from Michelle about volunteering for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer on September 11th. I have already put my name on the list, and urge you to contact Michelle by Friday if you'd like to be part of this group effort on behalf of the Shore Things and/or Stellar Runners.

Please bundle up for the rest of this week, as the windchill promises to be wicked. Take a look at this windchill info from Environment Canada (it's also posted on the blog) for guidelines on dressing for and surviving in the cold weather. Of course, none of us need to be told that last instruction in all cases, "Keep active."

I will not be out on Wednesday in -20 temperatures. If I keep on avoiding, I won't even be able to do one meter at Robbie burns!!
