Walks - Sat. March 8 - Wed. March 12

It's all about the hardware

 

Spring break has arrived but where is spring? Many of you will be vacationing but the rest of us will carry on....without you. Enjoy your get-away and think of us back here, pounding the pavement.

Saturday morning, meet at Tim's for 6-12 km.

Monday evening, meet at Loblaws for 6 km

Wednesday evening, meet at Shopper's or the dome for 6 km (check the blog).

Of course, some walkers are off work next week and may choose to walk in the day time, so please check the blog and let others know what you are doing and when.

Training distances: We have people training for 3 races.

KW- Saturday is a big 14K, 8k and 5k.

Cleveland is 12 K, 8k and 5k

Niagara Women’s will be a mere 8K, 8k and 5k. 

 

Announcements:

From Libby: lots of travel stories to tell....and please let Libby know if you are interested, considering, already signed up for any races. The Harry Rosen and Yonge Street 10k are approaching as short distance races for anyone looking for a spring tune-up!

Registration for the Mercedes Benz 10k in Oakville (April 27th) has a price increase next week.

There is an increasing interest from the WOW walkers for the New Albany walking classic September 7. Anyone???

 

From Rainer:

Some information regarding Chilli race .... a tough day weather wise however disappointing to see all the problems with runners in walker races. Looks like this could be another race that will drop their walking category.  We as walkers and competetive walkers need to support the race organizers that still do support walkers in their races. Just had a letter from Ian Barron who organizes races in Whitby begging for more walker support in his WIN race May 18.

Would be great if Rainer or Helen or someone could post the K-W walking classic poster. See anyone you know? (sorry I don't know how to do it).

 

Let's get out there and do it!

Two of our more serious walkers, training hard.
