| Scary sights on our last night of hill training |
Monday, both sets of racers, it's 6K; Wednesday, it's 5K. Sign in, kids. It's no fun to show up and find no one to walk with.
This is where I introduce the concept of Knuckle-down Knovember (or Nuckle-down November, if you prefer) for anyone doing the 2012 in 2012 Challenge. We soon won't have race schedules to force us to take those extra steps, and less-clement weather and the holiday season in December will loom to drag us down. So I propose teaming up for extra walks in November – 5K here and there will make a huge difference, and all the better with company. If you're walking (morning, lunchtime, evening), let people know in the comments so we can be aware of local clusters.
I have no birthdays on my calendar for this week, but have a feeling I'm missing some of our newer Shore Things. If you haven't heard a birthday shout-out from me, please email me your birth date, and take pity on my sieve-like brain. We love you and wish you happy birthday, whenever it is!

Bob & I will be joining the 7 am start for 13K on Saturday. Hope to see others of you for coffee afterwards.
I'll be there for 7 a.m. on Saturday as well.

I am expecting to be at Tim's for 8.00 for 8k - unless you want to start earlier, Lou-Ann?
Monday our "taking Charlie for a walk" group will be starting from my house at 1.15 pm. Wednesday from my house (without Charlie) at 9.00 am.
Arlene and I are hiking in Algonquin. Have a great weekend
I'll be out at 7:00 am on Saturday for our last long walk before the race - thank goodness!
Susan
Weather permitting, I'll be at Tim's at 8 am for 6-7 km.
I'll be happy to do some extra in November - we have spent most of this month in the car so far and it will probably be the same next week, so I'll have a lot of catching up to do.
On Sunday morning, Eva, Cheryl and I are doing 8k from the Brickworks. Mostly trail and a bit through the cemetery. Starting 7:45. It will let be weather permitting. Let me know if you want to join us.
I'll be at Tim's Saturday at 8 am for the shorter walk and Dawn's house on Monday at 1.15.
Valerie
As I have to be in Kingston by 1pm, I am going to have to pass on the Saturday walk, so please don't wait for me. I'll be doing the extra walking in November to catch up on my kilometreage... the pressure is on now.
See you all on Monday... have a great weekend.

Hi Everyone! Happy Autumn! I'm planning on showing up to cheer on the detroiters so keep me in mind if you need me to stuff something in my backpack while you bust your butt! Also.....I'm hoping to try a slooww 3-5 km walk very soon....so if there are any "newbees" or recovering walkers please let me know so we can team up and try to catch up to the speedsters! I'm hoping to get out the Sat. after detroit weekend!

I 'earned' a $29 gift voucher from Lee for doing 1600. It's for new Balance apparel or shoes. However, it is only good at a couple of shops in Burlington or Oakville, so I won't be able to use it. If anyone would like it, please let me know and you can have it.
As Leverne won't be joining us for 13K after all, do the 13K people want to sleep in a little longer? We could meet at 7:30 or even 8... What say?
I'm always happy to sleep in. See you at 8:00 unless I notice differently on the blog.
Ruth
I am also happy to make it 8 tomorrow - what a treat!
Lynne
Not sure what I'll do, so don't wait for me if I'm not there. May just walk earlier from home and avoid the spit for something with a bit more challenge - my last chance to prepare!
Susan
I will be walking at 8:00 (rather sleep a little longer than 7 - 7:30 Dawn, sorry). Glad to here Alexis you are able to make an appearance tomorrow, look forward to seeing you! Dawn if you want the gift card, I am happy to drive you one Wednesday...oh yah, congrats Dawn for winning! The church I go to Presteign-Woodbine United Church (where we did and are having our Shore Things End of Year Party) is having a costume sale (costumes used in church theatre production in the past) Saturday October 13 (tomorrow) from 10:00 - 1:00 should you be looking for a Halloween costume! Prices are very reasonable!!!
Eight O'clock it is for 13 km. See you then.
Congratulations Dawn, on the 1600 km mark.
Sharon
Planning to be out on Monday night at 7:00 - traffic permitting.
Susan
If it continues to be crazy windy as well as wet tonight, I don't relish riding over on the scooter. Might just walk from home. I'll check in later.
Hi All, I'm planning on walking tonight (Monday) from Loblaws unless it's a torrential downpour. See Susan (?) at 7; and congrats, Dawn, on your prize!
I plan to be at Loblaws at 7
Leverne
Hi again, looks like I won't be able to make it out tonight after all; sorry about that; but have a good walk! (Monday)
I won't be out tonight. Really not feeling up to par. May try for Wednesday.
SKJ
I will be out for a short walk this evening.
Lynne
I'll be there too....Monday night.
Susan
Bob & I are walking from home on Monday. See you Wednesday... at Shoppers!
I won't be out Wednesday. See some of you on the train Friday and many more of you in Detroit on Sat.

Hope to be out on Wednesday -- I need the distance. See you at Shoppers at 7.
I'll be at Shoppers at 7pm for our "race pace" walk...

What a great idea, a walking club, we could use one here.
