Reaching for memories of spring?
Please join us on Saturday for a very brisk walk, leaving from Tim's at 8:00 am. It might be brisk, again. For those training, you have more of a challenge: Good Life racers need to walk 14K and K-W 12K. weekday distances should be at least 6K on any 2 nights. This winter weather has been quite the challenge for training and building endurance for races.
 
Mid-week walks are Monday, Loblaws at 7:00 and Wednesday, Occasions at 7:00 - both nights doing 6 kms. Cold weather and evening walks seem to work against each other, but do join us if you are able. This Wed. is also Doc Soup so some of us have a perfect reason to skip can't join you for  your walk in the cold. Please sign in on the blog so others know where you'll be and when.
 
Announcements: from Libby: For those of you not committed to a race, do think of registering for either the Yonge Street 10K or Spring Life 10K. As long as you manage 8K on a Saturday, either of theses races are quite doable and both are fun! It is nice to garner a medal or 2 each year for our efforts! Harry’s Spring Fling is coming soon so be sure to add a hill or two to your weekly walks! You would be amazed at what Ruth and I have endured in hill classes with Lee on Saturday- quite the workout!
One more: Register by February 28th to Guarantee Your Shirt Size for the GoodLife Fitness Toronto Marathon!
Several walkers are away enjoying France, Portugal, southern islands, skiing - have a wonderful time wherever you are.

I'm nursing a cold so tucking in with pots of tea today and will see how I feel tomorrow.

I plan on walking from Tim's on Saturday...see you then.

14K, eh? Well, I'm in, I think. If we go east, that's all the way to Warden – and those turning at the end of the boardwalk can see those wonderful art installations we explored last week. I'd recommend it (even if it does mean a hill at Fallingbrook).

I'll be out on Saturday and hope to get some kms in. Feel like I've been too housebound all month.

Hi All, I'll be walking a bit later in the day, so please don't wait for me. Have a good one!

I have hopes and dreams of meeting at Tim's this morning.

I could do 6K on Monday evening. Anyone else? Hopefully, it won't be too slippery or windy. If no one signs in, I could be tempted to go for the dome. Speak up, Shore Things!

I'm up for it - if no-one else is going we could go earlier maybe?? How about Bob?? I'm home now.

I'm home and could go anytime and would enjoy the walk tonight (for a change) Almost feeling like spring.

Bob's on his way home. We're happy to go earlier – from home? Seems like no one else has signed in.

Helen said...

Oh, Susan. Our messages must have crossed.

Helen said...

So how about Loblaws at 6:30?

I'll be there!
