Walks - Sat. Oct. 11 - Wed. Oct. 15

Lots to be thankful for....
 
Join us Saturday at Tim's at 8:00 am. Scotiabank folks do 12 km for final week of training - company is welcome but check the blog just in case they change the start time. Let's support their training. The rest will choose whatever distance suits. Just do it! 
 
Monday is a holiday for most so I suggest that we meet on Monday morning at Tim's 2 at 9:00 am. We'll walk off some calories - please join us. Wednesday has a day and evening option - you know the drill. Please let others know your plans on the blog. It helps. Scotia group needs to do 6 km both days.
 
Helen and Bob did us proud in Corning last weekend. Helen’s time was under 3 hours! Both had an excellent race. And, the Scotia crew has added 2 new members with Helen and Bob committing to race the Half. 
Announcements: from Charlotte - please bring $10 cash for the Shorethings year end gathering and coffers if you haven't already - support always helps with those little extras we need.
 
from Lou Ann: We need 5 or 6 strong people to set up tables and chairs  starting at 5:00 for our party.  Please forward your names to Lou-Ann.  Thanks for all your help!
 
from Libby: Consider the Santa shuffle in Burlington on December 13 and the Resolution Run in Toronto on December 28th. Both have price increases for registration after this week. The Resolution Run jackets are in “Shore Things” colours this year and are available to try on at the Running room. If we have enough registered we will arrange a brunch!
Robbie Burns registration is open for the 8K race January 25th. They only accept 100 walkers so if you considering the race, register early.
from Nishe: There is a lottery to be a torch-bearer for the pan-am games next year in July. Check it out:  toronto2015.org/torch-relay
from Helen: Carole Smith from the Stellars sent this:“walking is the superfood of fitness":
bench creativity

Lovely photos, Susan! I probably won't be out Sat morning, as I have a very late opening night tonight. Hope to be out Monday morning at Tim's 2, though. Happy Thanksgiving to all; we have much to be thankful for!

I'll be out at 8:00 unless someone (Trish, Cheryl, Helen, Bob, Ralph) convinces me that 7:30 would be more fun.

Happy Thanksgiving to all - wherever you are.

Susan (and friends), I believe that Trish has a special route planned for the last 12K, and we'll be joining them. So we won't see you at Tim's 1, but will see you at Tim's 2 on Monday. Have a happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

As long as there's no heavy rain belting down, I'd like to be out for a short walk from Occasions on Wednesday. Anyone else?
