Robbie Burns Race Prep
Can you name the owners of those toes?
Our walk schedule this week will offer an extra option because of our Shorethings brunch on Sunday.
Saturday morning at 8:00 am (weather permitting) for whatever distance suits you - aiming for 8 - 10 kms? Please sign the blog to let others know....may not attract many walkers this week on Saturday morning.
Sunday morning - Walk and Brunch: announcement from Helen & Dawn:
Meet at Helen's place, ready to leave at 9 am on Sunday. Parking available in school across the street. Helen will plan routes for distances, 8-10K, Then off to TKOs, which is just a
five-minute walk from Helen's. Bring a change of clothes, if you like.
Brunch at TKO's starts at 10:30 am - it's on
the north side of Danforth, just east of Coxwell. Bring a few bucks for the raffle and if you still have donations to add to the raffle,
contact Lynne or Leverne as soon as possible.
And bring your appetite!
I understand that the brunch is fully booked - SOLD OUT! Great job, Dawn! Thanks to Dawn and to the Social Committee for organizing this event.
Monday night walk from Loblaws at 7:00 for 6 km and Wednesday night walk from Shoppers at 7:00 for 6 km. Please sign in on the blog so others know who to expect. The weather has discouraged many walks in January, but lets get out there starting Feb. 1st.
Announcements:
from Helen: I understand that Kathleen is/has moved on to Picton, via Ottawa. All the best to you in your new home in the Picton area. We'll miss you.
From Libby and Rainer: A typically frigid Robbie Burns was well represented both by
walkers- 71 in total and by the Shore Things- 11 in total!.
Braving -15 plus a wind chill temperature, we soldiered on.
Rainer - of course- blazed through with a chip time of 56:49...fourth male
overall and third in his age group! (did you find his toes in the photo above?) The rest of us were just glad to finish!.
The bagpipes and oatmeal seem to draw us in to the cold race
! A great social time for those who competed.
Congrats to all the finishers!
To Libby: Have a wonderful trip and we look forward to hearing about in March.
more next week....getting too long....
And, after a few glasses of wine (post race, of course)
Hope to see you Saturday and/or Sunday.

what beautiful feet - especially given the amount of kilometres they have covered!!!
I will be at Helen's on Sunday at 9.00 am for whatever distance the weather allows me to do.
Then on to TKO's. See you then.
I won't be out Saturday, but Jamie and I plan to walk to TKOs for 10:30 Sunday, see you all there, looking forward to it.

I will be out Sunday morning at 9. Had some minor surgery on my back and am not supposed to sweat for 2 weeks. Plan to do a slower 5km, so if this entices anyone to come out and get moving again, I would love the company.
Fun photos,Susan! I won't be out this weekend,as I've got opera-itis again(!), but hope to be out next week. Have fun at the brunch!
I'll be out Sunday for 5-6-7 km, then on to TKO.
Looking forward to seeing everyone after so many weeks stuck indoors!
Is anyone interested in walking Saturday from Tim's (assuming we don't get a pile of snow overnight), Lynne - that question includes you. I'm interested in walking both days - with companions.
I'll check the blog in the morning just to see....if....someone....
Susan

Picking up Arlene and Eileen. We will be there!
It is 7:45. Just spent 45 minutes shovelling heavy snow. I am now warmed-up. I can see that walking will be a task. I'll will be at Helen's for 9 but it may not be for a long walk.

Jan and I will be at photo class Monday night. Wednesday is Doc Soup. Hope to see you Saturday.
Oops, should have added a thank you to the organizers and contributors to yesterday's walk 'n' brunch. It was fun!
Is anyone walking tonight from Loblaws?
First, a huge thank you and congratulations to Dawn and the social committee on a great walk/brunch on Sunday.
I managed to get outside this afternoon and take advantage of the sunshine; a real treat so will not be out tonight. Plan joining the group Saturday.
Frances
Once again, Lynne and Leverne are bowing out, too slippery.
