Walks: Sat-Wed, July 6 to 10, 2013

Start of this morning's walk
I hope this works as this is about the fourth attempt!! [Dawn, I've reposted this for you. It was just published in the wrong place. H.] Saturday's walk from Tim's I suggest 7.30 start, but the Dubliners may want to start earlier.    Monday and Wednesday evening walks I think are from Loblaw's and Shoppers respectively, but you'll have to figure that our for yourselves - means you'll have to write in the comments!!!   Distances are as follows

Dubliners - 18k, 8k, 10k   Midsummer - 10k, 8k, 5k        Ottawa 10k, 6k, 6k,

Early Monday and Wednesday walkers (for the month of July) are from Dawn's place at 8.30 Monday and Lou-Ann's on Wednesday at 8.30.   Lou-Ann has a pool, as you know and has a wonderful pool boy!!    It is important to let us both know - by email please -if you intend to join us because depending on the weather, we sometimes change the times and don't want you to show up after we have left.

Great photos, ladies! I'll be out on Saturday morning for a 10k, from Tim's. And, a Happy 'Special' Birthday to Cheryl; who is celebrating as we speak!

Happy birthday, Cheryl!

I should be out on Saturday for a 7:30 start.

As hard as it will be to drag ourselves out of bed, Bob and I would like to…, prefer to…, well anyway we will start at 7 am on Saturday. It's 18K and the forecast says it'll feel like 27C even at 7.

Helen said...

And a big, Big-0 Birthday to Cheryl!

I plan to be out at 7:30 Saturday.

Happy Birthday Arlene and Cheryl! Hope you got nicely spoiled.

Arlene and I will be walking at 7:30 but with Lee Scott's class. We hope to make it back to Tim's in time to meet up with the rest of the group.

It was a toss up - intervals with Lee or 18K to train for Dublin. In the end, the 7:30 starting time was the deciding factor :-)

I won't be out Saturday morning but will be doing the morning walks on Monday and Wednesday.

Sorry about the blunder in trying to post the blog. And thanks to Helen for redoing it for me.

Happy birthday to Arlene and Cheryl.

Lou-Ann said...

Best Birthday Wishes to Cheryl and Arlene, hope you enjoyed your special day and are still celebrating! I will be out at 7:30 to do probably 10K. Let's hope the sun gods will be celebrating too!

Helen,

If you are up for the company, I'll join you and Bob for 18 km at 7.

And happy birthday (belated) Arlene!

Don't know if anyone is planning to walk tonight, but I am not. I am hopefully joining the Wednesday morning group for walk/swim from Lou Ann's.

I think many of the Monday nighters walked this morning, but given the severe storm warnings, Bob and I will stay home this evening.

There might be a small break in the clouds on Tuesday evening, if the weather goes as predicted. If so, we'll walk then from home. Let us know if you'll join us.

Then we'll play Wednesday and Thursday by ear, hoping for the best.

See you some day soon, I hope.

Helen said...

Lynne, It looks to be clear but hot for Tuesday evening. Still thinking of walking?

I'm really hoping to join the morning walk on Wednesday. Hear that, rain?

I would not mind a quick walk.... Before the next storm, what do you think ?

Anonymous said...

That was me (Lynne), Helen

Helen said...

Sure, Lynne. Let's see how far we can get. Can you come here?

Anonymous said...

Yes. I will meet you at your place at 7.

Anyone walking tonight? Frances

Helen said...

Hi, Frances,
Most of our Wednesday night regulars walked this morning. But Sharon has yet to sign in, so check back a little later. Have a good/safe walk.

Frances Birnie said...

Thank you Helen. I checked the weather channel, there is a severe watch in place, too risky to go out tonight. I will be out Saturday morning. Frances

Sharon KJ said...

So sorry that I didn't sign in. I was downtown all day doing a course and then I raced home to pick up the car from the dealership. I arrived home too late to go out for a walk.

For Saturday's walk (20 km?), will there be an early start? I would like to do the walk but I have a doctor's appointment at 11. I don't mind starting earlier than 7. I'll keep checking the blog.
