| Want to help improve Toronto's trail network? Take the survey. |
Monday: KW (8K), Toad & Detroit Half (6K), Detroit Full (11K). Lou-Ann again hosts the coffee and pool mornings on Monday and Wednesday this week. Please sign in to say whether you'll be walking in the morning, afternoon or evening.
Wednesday: KW (10K), Toad & Detroit Full (8K), Detroit Half (6K). Ditto re: sign ins. We will eventually return to regular evening walks later in August; timing will depend in part on the heat.
For those doing the Midsummer Night's 15K, note that race kit pick-up begins towards the end of the week if you want to get yours before race day next Saturday (there's also race day pick-up). If you have no suitable attire, or want to doll yours up, Trish is holding a tutu touch-up or tulle-up party this Sunday, Aug. 12 at 1 pm. Contact me if you don't have the coordinates.
The following weekend, Sat. Aug. 24, we're invited to meet on Toronto Island with the Toronto Powerwalkers for our 24K (they'll be doing 21K). You could do less, of course. We'd catch the 6:35 am ferry to Ward's Island and stop at The Rectory café for brunch after. (All with the proviso that we'd stay put at Tim's for an earlier start in the event of another heat wave.) Speak up if you're in.
As always, check the comments to see if I've forgotten anything this week.

I hope to be at TIm's on Saturday at 7.00 [ not sure what distance yet. But will probably do more than the Detroit half 6k. Will see........
Hoping to be at Tim's on Saturday. My goal is 14K. I can take a little rain. Let's see what the clouds bring.
I will be at Tim's for 7am on Sat for 14k
rain or shine! alexis
Hey Everyone....I just now registered for Mid Summer......I hadn't thought about dress code.....it's my first time but I do recxall seeing some photos :) alexis
Me Again! Just wanted to send out a "call for detroit training walk outside of the schedule". So...
I'm going away to camp the weekend of Sept. 21st and we are supposed to do 19km that Sat. (22nd). I'm hoping someone is able to join me On the Friday morning (21st) to do it instead of Sat (22nd). Jeanny is going to run/walk with me so it'll work if no one is available but we'd sure like more company if anyone is able/willing. Let us know....thanks
(I know it's far away.....but well.....can you tell I'm finally showing a healthy amount of anxiety about doing the marathon?)
Alexis
I'll be out on Saturday for 14 kms.
Helen: I'll be away on the weekend when the PowerWalkers invited us to join them on the island.
Susan
I'll be out on Saturday for 14K. Will bring my wading boots just in case.
Ruth
Helen....count me in for 24km on Aug. 24th with N.Y Power Walkers on Tor. Island! and for brunch after! Sounds like a fun way to get the mileage in! :)
alexis
Just about to put it in my calendar......Aug. 24th is a Friday? So.....I'm assuming it's Sat. Aug. 25th? alexis
I will be out Saturday for the "reasonable 7:00am" start time, not sure at this point my distance, however I might need to do more than the 6 so my dress fits in two Saturdays. I unfortuntely will not be at the Island walk (boo hoo) as that is Lindsay and Nathan's big day and I don't want to be late or tired! See you Saturday.
Seems reasonable to begin a walk at 7, so count me in for the 14 km. The invite from the PowerWalkers sounds like fun but right now I am taking one day at a time.
SKJ
Helen, I'm in for the Toronto Island walk on Saturday Aug. 25. Might not do the entire 24k, but a good walk and brunch sounds great.
I am aiming to be out in the morning with Cheryl in tow. Will be weather dependent. Distance to be determined.
Hoping to be out Saturday morning for something less than 14k; will walk with Trish and Cheryl as we're training for the Midsummer's race next weekend.
See you at 7 for 14. There's a certain symmetry to it.
Dawn and I are not coming this morning, we will wait a little later this morning in hope the rumbling will stop and have our own walk.
Thunder and lightning. Will hold off til later. Let me know if anyone changes their mind and wants to walk tomorrow morning.
That last anonymous was Trish.
Not coming either.
Susan
Thunder and Lightning! Bob and I are going to take a pass on Saturday morning, and try to get our distance in later in the day. Will check on the comments to see if anyone is organizing anything specific.
Waiting for the storm to pass; will go out later when it settles down. Back to bed for me!
I'm going to take a pass this morning - heading back to bed! And I think that goes for Bob and Helen too.
Ditto! Passing til later orvtomorrow
Alexis
All dressed up and no where to go. Would anyone be willing to walk tomorrow morning instead?
Sharon
Damn - I knew it would likely pass. Is anyone interested in meeting at 8:00 am this morning? I think the thunder is finished now, and I can't get back to sleep.
Susan
Susan, I'm heading to B&H now to walk, want to join us
Leverne
I missed the updates so am looking for partners for tomorrow morning. Is anyone free to walk on Sunday?
Barbara
I am more than willing to walk early Sunday morning. I am willing to meet at Tim's 1 or 2. I'll keep checking in. I'd like to do the 14 km.
Sharon
Im interested in walking tomorrow. Sunday?
I would like to do the 14km, but not too quickly! I am not free this afternoon but am happy to meet any time tomorrow morning.

Barbara, it seems to be just the two of us so far to go for a walk tomorrow morning. I can meet you at our regular Tim's for 8 am and I am more than willing to walk a distance that is good for you. I will wear my GPS so that we know when to turn around at the half-way mark.
The invitation is open to everyone. If there is a preferred time, just let me know. I'll check back for confirmation in a couple of hours.
SKJ
I'll come out and walk at 8 (how decadently late!) tomorrow (Sunday). If the time changes, could someone give me a phone call at 416-690-6561.
Ruth
Ok. Gonna do my best to be at tim's 1
For 8:00. To do 14km
Alexis
great. thank you Sharon, Ruth and Alexis 8:00 am sounds very civilized. I will be there. see you all then.
So afterr all that im not going to make it
Awake most of the nite and now too
Exhausted! Enjoy!
Alexis
Bob & I will be joining the morning crew on Monday at 8 for anything up to 11. TBD.
I'm in for the Island walk on the 25th.
Leverne
Ditto Leverne's comment for the island walk.
