Walk: Sat. Oct. 17 @ Tim's

For the Nov. 1st racers, it's that last big push of our training, 18K. The entrance to Rosetta McClain Gardens is our turnaround... but who can resist a look at the view or fountain. It has been proposed that the long-distance walkers get an earlier start, at 7:30 am. Please voice your vote here.

For those not in training, the start time will be 8 am, as usual, and the distance will be the one of your choosing.

After Nov. 1st, we'll be in maintenance mode for the rest of 2009, which will mean 5-6K in the evenings and 8-10K on Saturdays. We'd love to see some of our long-lost walking buddies out again. It's also a good time to bring out new friends.

Light up the streets: FYI, Sheila is making a run (or walk) to Mountain Equipment Coop on Friday. If you'd like her to pick up some Turtle Lights for you, please reply to this email.

See you at Tim's or at Margy's New-40 party! And good luck to the unstoppable Marg & Rainer, who are doing the Cavan 10K on the morning of the celebration. Rainer, bring your dogbane.
