There is absolutely nothing to be said that will improve the weather! 
 
Join us Saturday at Tim's at 8:00 am. The company will be good. We'll walk any distance that seems reasonable but at least we'll get out. Good Life training has begun - 10 km this Sat; K-W classic walkers need to consider 8 km. Ruth will help Libby do her 14 km on Sunday. They are braver women than I am.
 
Mid week walks: daytime walkers connect through Dawn. Evening walkers meet Monday at Loblaws; Wednesday at Occasions; both at 7:00 pm. Please sign in on the blog so others know your plans.
 
Announcements: from Libby: Best wishes to Rainer in the Sarnia winter classic race - make us proud!
 
from Rainer:
 
Signups for the 11th annual New Albany Walking Classic are at record pace. A very early sell out is expected. The early bird discount for the Walk will expire on Valentine’s Day so sign up now to express your love for walking. Ruth and Arlene did this race last year - They liked it!

Won't be joining you tomorrow. On a whim, I signed up for the Beaches RR's Valentine's 5k tomorrow morning at 9:00. There might still be room if you are interested.

Hope you all get lots of love and chocolate! See you next week,
Sheila

I hope to be at Tims on Saturday but believe the distance will be very short.

Think warm thoughts, everyone. I'll be doing hills in High Park on Saturday, but I'll watch the blog to see if anyone will be walking Monday morning from either of the Tims.

Just to second what Rainer said, consider the New Albany race. If you do sign up, be sure to sign up as a "competitor". And get your hotel reservations right away at the race hotel (Courtyard by Marriott, New Albany).

Happy Valentine's day to all the wonderful Shore Things.

I won't be out tomorrow, in the cold, as I am off to the casino.
I will also not be out on Monday or Wednesday.

I plan to be out on Saturday as long as the temperature doesn't go below - 10 degrees!

I won't be out for the two Saturdays following the 14th as I'll be away on vacation.

I forgot about Family Day Monday and that there might be interest in meeting at Tim's 2; at 9:00 am.

Sign in, if you plan to attend. I'll mention it on Saturday morning as well. Thanks Ruth.

I'll be out Sat. am. See you then.

Bob and I will be out on Saturday with 10K on our schedule. And at the moment Monday morning sounds great.

Barbara said...

I will be out for a short distance. Happy Birthday, Dawn!

I'm game for 10 km this morning. I'm game for a 9 AM walk-start on Monday. Not too keen on the cold though!

See you Monday morning at 9:00 for a wonderful "family day" walk, my Shore things Family!

Enjoy your walk Rainer and stay warm Margie!~

Sharon KJ said...

Not so sure about tomorrow after all. If I am not there for 9, don't wait for me.

I am thinking the same Sharon.....-24 without wind chill is a bit cool (weather network forecast).

Charlotte S said...

I think I will pass on Tim's 2 tomorrow, tooooooooooo cold!

Helen said...

Well, it's very tempting to say home on Monday. But I'll wait and see what it looks like closer to actual walk time. Will check in early Monday.

Ruth said...

I thought it was supposed to warm up for Monday. I won't be out - -20 is a git too cold.

Helen said...

Drat. You're all right. Staying indoors, too.

Okay - me too, I'll stay home. Thanks for posting.

I know that Lynne, Leverne, Eileen and Jan are away. Any other Wednesday nighters walking this evening? Dome, anyone?

Helen said...

Okay, as no one has signed in, we've decided to have our deferred birthday dinner with Sam tonight (the Big 3-0) and will walk on Thursday evening, if anyone wishes to join us then.
