Walks - Sat. Dec. 14 - Wed. Dec. 18

 
Restaurant in Barcelona
New career option for Shorethings here?
 
Well, the weather outside is frightful.
And, the fire is so delightful,
There's no time to fuss with the wok,
Let us walk, let us walk, let us walk. 
 
Now, I suspect I am the only one who needs exercise on Saturday, but I am pleading with you to join me for 8-10 km - regardless of the weather. Think of it as an investment in calorie burning in advance of the big celebrations, whenever and wherever they are. Tim's at 8:00 am for 8 km.
 
The Monday and Wednesday day time crew know what to do or to contact Dawn to confirm.
Monday evening is at Loblaws at 7:00 pm for 6 km. 
Wednesday evening is at Occasions at 7:00 pm for 6 km. There was a time when we walked regardless of the weather conditions.....I'm just saying....

well, I don't know about tomorrow, yet. I sort of decided yesterday that I wouldn't leave the house again until March 2014……

Haven't seen any other signing in so maybe lots of others (except Susan) are feeling like me?????

My plan was to be out Saturday regardless of weather...however, my daughter’s knee condition took a turn for the worse mid-week (5 hours in emergency!) and she is now on crutches, needs taking care of so unfortunately I will be on a physio run and not able to be there Saturday.

Susan, I didn't know you were a poet ~ nice poem! I'm planning to be at Tim's in the morning if the weather isn't too bad; and if I can get the car out! If it's too stormy, I'll walk closer to home. Either way, a good weekend to all!

I'm going to pass on tomorrow and go to the gym instead.

Hope to see some of you during the week.

Helen said...

Hoping to be out Saturday. Perhaps it won't be as bad as they're predicting.

I won't be out tomorrow as I have a date at Niagara casino if the snow isn't too bad. If it is bad I still won't be out as I do not plan on trudging through snow! Let's keep our fingers crossed for no snow.

I am on the fence about Saturday morning. Weather only being part of the equation. With the holiday season, I have some many balls juggling in the air. If I am not there, don't wait.

I plan to walk tomorrow from Tim's.....assuming it isn't treacherous under foot....although I do have my hiking boots out, just in case they will keep me upright.

I'll be sure to check the blog before leaving in the morning.

See you next time,

I won't be out tomorrow, hopefully my last Saturday baking for the year...it has been a successful one, so I won't complain! Safe and happy walking friends!

Ruth said...

I'm going to miss tomorrow, as I'll be sitting in a classroom that (judging from today's session) will be only marginally warmer than the outside. I think I'd rather be out walking.

Arlene and I plan to be at Tim's tomorrow

Helen said...

If the weather is really dismal on Saturday, is anyone interested in switching to Sunday instead?

weather seems fine - I'll be at Tim's on Sat.

Providing I can get my daughter's car to co-operate, I will make my way down to Tim's.

-14!!!! Cruel and unusual punishment! I'll come out for a short walk

Helen said...

Okay, bundle up, we'll be out too. Be sure to put something on the cheeks, it'll be windy.

I plan to walk tonight (Monday) traffic permitting. I hope to see some of you there.

Helen said...

I am so behind on my Christmas preps, that I'm using the excuse of Jan not walking tonight to take time off for shopping. Might be in the same situation on Wednesday. TBD. But hope to see you Saturday.

Sorry Susan, but I am passing on tonight

I was able to get out for a bit and enjoy the sun this afternoon so will not be out tonight. I have Christmas 'stuff' going on Wednesday but plan being out Saturday.

Jan said...

I won't be out tonight - going to see the Messiah. I will be out Saturday morning though - I need the exercise. Everything has gone wrong this week, so maybe a walk will start putting karma right again.

Helen said...

Bob and I are hoping to walk tonight, even if just short. If anyone's passing our way, we'd love a ride to Occasions. If not, we'll either walk down (don't wait if we're not there) or we'll walk from home.

Helen said...

As no one else has singed in, and I hear that there's a big group going to see The Messiah, Bob and I will combine our walk with some shopping. See you Saturday.

Helen said...

Er, I meant "signed in" not "singed in" -- was thinking of those cantatas, I guess!
