Walks: Thanksgiving Weekend 2010

Autumn 2010 along the Leslie St. Spit
If all goes as planned, we'll have a lovely Thanksgiving weekend (and the weather in Chicago looks amazing). Saturday, we'll meet at 8 am at Tim's for 11K (for the Shore Things 10-Milers) or a distance of your choosing.

Monday, the few people who've responded favour 9 am from Tim's. Let's make it 8K. Please sign in if you prefer to meet in the evening, to drum up company.

We'll be thinking about our marathoners on Sunday, October 10th. That's: 10.10.10. You're all 10s in our book. We can all do amazing things, and sometimes surprise ourselves.

Just read this article from Cheryl. Click on the image to enlarge it.

I'll be out Saturday and and Monday morning. That was an inspiring article about Catherine Dickson. My heart is with all those Chicago marathoners this weekend!

won't be there on Saturday, but will be at Tim's for 8 am Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and good luck to the Chicago people.

Maybe if I joined a group in PEI I too woud do a marathon. VERY UNLIKELY< though.

Wonderful story about that woman who ended up doing a full marathon..so true, that situations often first perceived as problematic turn out to be "gifts"...depending on our attitude.

I'll be out both Saturday and Monday mornings

Expecting sunny, summer-like weather this weekend - yay!

Cheers

I most likely wont be out Saturday. My daughter came home early so I will do two walks with her.Also a marathon cooking session. Thanks to those who have donated prizes - we have some great stuff again this year. I will post a list shortly. I will make arrangements to pick things up next week.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Chicago will never be the same. You gals are *amazing*! Hope you had an unforgettable trip.

Bob & I will be at Tim's for 9 am, relishing the chance to sleep in a bit. Happy Thanksgiving, Shore Things.
