Finally, our pool party pot luck weekend has arrived. Lou-Ann and Paul are expecting us to gather anytime after 1:00 pm. Bring your favourite pot luck dish, a lawn chair, a bottle of your favourite and your bathing suit. Thanks so much to our hosts for inviting us back, year after year.
Join in for a walk Saturday morning - some are racing; you know who you are. Others of us will gather at Tim's at 8:00 am for whatever distance you fancy. Those training for New Albany (16 k), Corning (14 k) and Scotia (16) may want to start at 7:30 am. Please let others know your plans. Let's support those needing to put in some longer distances - company really helps. And, finally some are vacationing and we know that they will walk wherever they are!
The mid week walks have many locations and times (day and evening) but usually happen on Monday and Wednesday. Again, please use the blog to let others know your plans.
We send happy wishes Joan and her family who will be enjoying her son's wedding celebration this weekend. Pictures, please Joan.
Announcements: from Lee Scott:
On August 31st, let’s meet at the Bloor and Spadina
activity hub at 8:15 in power walking gear. We’ll enjoy a power walk east along
Bloor, south on Yonge to Queen, turn around and walk north on Yonge to Bloor,
east on Bloor to the activity hub at Bloor and Parliament. From there we’ll
wait for everyone to catch up, high fives for our efforts and then stroll back
along Bloor toward the activity hub at Bloor and Spadina. By that time, the
music and cafes will be all open and people can enjoy the civic awesomeness!
Sadly, the subway does not get
moving until 9am. There was PLENTY of street parking along Bloor and
Spadina…free until 1pm. SEE YOU THERE, ALONG
WITH ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS! Check out the article in the Toronto Star.

Thanks Susan; love the picture of those gorgeous bathing beauties!
There are 6 of us doing the Women's 10k in Taylor Creek Park tomorrow morning, so we'll be ready for a lovely dip in the pool and pot-luck when we get back! Happy walking, and see everyone at the party; and thanks Lou-Ann and Paul for hosting!
I'll be out at 7:30 for a longer distance, but only if someone else signs up. Otherwise, I'll join the 8:00 group.
Susan
Arlene and I will be out at 7:30 for 16K.
Enjoy the Women's 10K.
See everyone in the pool.
Ruth
I will walking the Women's 10K in the morning in Taylor Creek so won't see everyone till they get to our house for the party. I hope all are bringing their significant other with them too! The pool is nice and clean and we have started to crank up the heat for all you fare weather swimmers!
Is anyone planning to walk at 8?
Besides me?
I will also be out at 7:30. My distance is 14k but we'll see what happens.
I will be at the start line to send our walkers off on a good race. Good luck to those doing longer distances and we will see you all at Lou-Ann's.
I'll be there for 7:30.

Anyone walking tonight from Loblaws? If not, are you interested in walking locally -- maybe from Occasions again? Bob and I are hoping to walk tonight.
Helen,
Francis and I are heading out early at 6 cuz we can! Can you make it early too?
Lynne
Drat. No, cuz Bob's still working on a project -- we'll just walk from home, Lynne. Have a good walk!
OK Helen, enjoy your walk.
Lynne
Is anyone walking tonight?
Lynne
I'm not sure, Lynne. Bob might be walking, but Jan and I went this morning – our last chance for a swim. Bob isn't home yet, but is on his way.
Made it to Occasions. Anyone else?
I will take that as a NO. :-)
