Walks: Sat-Wed, Feb. 2 to 6

Soggy but smiling on a rainy January day
Oh, what crazy, mixed-up weather! But you can see that at least some Shore Things are undaunted.
After consulting with Leverne, who has volunteered to plan the next Saturday 8K change of location walk, we have decided to defer the switch till next Saturday, Feb. 9th. This week, we'll start from Tim's as usual at 8 am, and see where our feet take us.

Monday and Wednesday are maintenance days, for about 6K – but note that Wednesday is a Doc Soup night, so most of our regulars will be away. Please sign in if you want company.

Congratulations to Rainer, who placed 2nd in his age category at the Robbie Burns 8K in a big field. Rainer wrote to the organizers to suggest ways to improve the walking category instructions. We hope it will be passed along to next year's new organizer. Thanks for being an ambassador, Rainer.

Thanks also to Barb S. for sharing this: "The latest issue of Running Room Magazine - Jan/Feb 2013 has a 20% off coupon (page 41). Everything in-store and online; expires February 28. *One coupon per person, good for a one-time purchase." [Promo code is: JANFEB2013] Happy shopping!

Wishing a belated happy birthday to Elaine. We still think of you as a Shore Thing!

Oh my what a lovely picture to display...I will also be out on Saturday, hopefully with a little sunshine (and I don't mean you Sheila and Dawn)!

I'll be at Tim's on Saturday, and share Dawn and Lou-Ann's preference for a dry walk.

The plan is to be out in the morning. As always weather dependent. Haven't seen tomorrows forecast but I don't walk in the rain in the winter!!! Snow yes (well most of the time).

Jan's at a meeting on Monday, and Susan will be away, so is anyone willing to come meet us at our place?

Bob & I won't be at Loblaws on Monday. We have an errand to run, so we'll do that as our distance.
