Walks: Sat. to Wed., March 10 to 14

A little bit of Taiwanese spring for you

We have a nippy forecast for Saturday. However, I've heard some say they'd like to get as much distance in as possible. I've even heard the number 14 bandied about. Let's just say, join us for at least 10K (or more, or less) at 8 am. We can take a straw poll when we meet.

The same goes for Monday and Wednesday. 8K will be the standard, but we can opt up or down. Soon, we'll be getting into real training season, with distances determined by our respective schedules.

Happy birthday, Mary! Hope you're having a fabulous day.

Note that the KW Walking Classic has been nominated for the Readers Choice Awards for The Best Walker Friendly Half Marathon Race at About.com. They need votes – and you know we're big fans because they certainly deserve them! You can vote daily until March 21st. Here's the link:

Also, race organizer Ian Barron of the WIN Whitby Marathon (May 27th) has written us to encourage walkers to enter his race. This is a race I'd planned to train for. Rainer has been in conversation with Ian about this, so ask him for more over coffee.

That's it for now. Let me know what I've forgotten.
