Walks - Sat. Nov. 22 - Wed. Nov. 26

Sun /Clouds on the Spit last week
Well, I think the weather will be testing us this week. Come and join us on Saturday at 8:00 am at Tim's. We can go as far as we want, depending on the weather. The company is great; the coffee is good; the food is fattening...
 
Mid-week walks are Monday and Wednesday - day time organized through Dawn and evening through the blog. Please let others know if you will be out. And, I know a few of us tend to wimp out a bit as the evenings get colder and darker....so sign in and let the others know your plans. If you are walking Wednesday evenings, declare your preferred location - Shoppers or Occasions. I don't know if a decision has been made as yet...
 
Announcements from Libby: Please see the updates on both the Race Interests List and Race Training!. Rainer, Margy, Bob and Helen have finally committed to races in 2015 so we have a schedule. Please check out the lists and do contact me to add your name!
Helen has a new race for the fall “ Queen Bee Half” in Cincinnati!. A fall offshoot of the Flying Pig with a walker category. Slightly different course and appears less hilly than the Flying Pig. The T-shirts are fabulous! Looks like a great option! Sunday October 10th. (which is Canadian Thanksgiving weekend). Should we consider a group effort? Cincinnati has good accommodation and is a reasonable drive home after the race.
The Harry Rosen 8K in High Park is a mere $45 until January 27th. Let’s support this year’s race and walk for our wonderful friend Ian Brown!
Sporting Life 10K is another local race for a good cause. Registration is $45 until January 15th and the T-shirts are blue this year! 
Rainer is now on the radar for training for the Sarnia Hypothermic Half with 8K on Saturday. I have added the Chilly Half in the schedule for interest but as yet we have no one signed in!

Perfect training weather for a race called the hypothermic.

I'll be out on Saturday morning. It will be nice to see you again, Joan.

Can't join you on Saturday or Monday - too busy with conflicting commitments.

Enjoy your walk and your week.

Hi Everyone! That is a beautiful photo!! I want to say Thank You to everyone for your cards, emails, texts etc. and very kind words following my mother's passing. You are all so right....even when it's somewhat expected it can still be a shock. We had a nice family gathering in Cape Breton and gave her a lovely send off and it was so nice to receive all of your messages and cards upon my return! Although I won't be out Saturday or next week I promise I'll make it soon. In the meantime stay warm and safe out there! Alexis

Lovely photo, Susan. I won't be out Saturday, as I'll be at our church Holly Berry bazaar (...how bazaar...), so have a great walk. (and if you want to get some Christmas shopping done, why not come out to the bazaar; 9am-2pm, St. Dunstan of Canterbury, 56 Lawson Rd!)

Rainer and I plan to be out at 8 for a short walk only( meeting out -of- town friends downtown for breakfast at 9.30a.m.!)
Looking forward to seeing everyone,
Margy

I plan to be out. Sharon remind me - I have your book.

Helen said...

Sounds like Monday night might be dangerously windy. This is getting ridiculous. Will keep and eye on the weather, and hope to be out (as long as it's safe).

Eileen said...

Trish and I will be walking from Shoppers (at Woodbine and O'Connor) this Wed, weather permitting of course. Would anyone like to join us?

Helen said...

Wind warning still on for the City of Toronto on Monday evening. Call me a coward but I'd rather stay home tonight than be blown into traffic or bonked on the head by broken branches.

I do hope to be out Wednesday and I'd be fine with Shoppers for a change.

Ditto Helen's comments for tonight and Wednesday.

Jan said...

Ditto for me too.

Eileen said...

Trish can't make it we'd. Is anyone else walking?

Helen said...

Hope to walk Wednesday with you from Shoppers, Eileen. As always, weather permitting.

Eileen said...

That's great. So far the weather looks ok so I'll see you there at 7:00
