| Hopefully, this week's weather will make the attire seem out of date – but after last week's (and this week's) long walks, the sentiment might still be appropriate. |
Saturday's training distances reflect the approaching ends of schedules and race days for our trainees. For Big Sur, one last 12K before the race – by lucky coincidence, also the distance for the Niagara gals. Goodlife begins taper with 16K, KW gets one long kick at the can with 20K. (Anyone not doing 16K on Saturday might be interested in walking with Helen on Sunday. At least, that's the plan. The red-eye flight might prompt other ideas. TBD.) Weeknight walks require 8-10K.
Here's a link from Bob to a Toronto Star article about the misunderstood sport of race walking that I forgot to post last week. Bob also wonders if we should try for tickets to the walking event at the PanAm Games. Interested? Talk to the man with the plan: Sport of race walking no walk in the Park

I will see you at Tim`s Saturday morning.
I won't be out Saturday morning as I am doing the Yonge St 10k plus on Sunday morning with Cheryl, Ralph and Olwyn. Eva and Eileen will be there in spirt.
I have another appointment this Saturday morning, so unable to join you.
Have a good walk,
Sheila
I will not be joining the group tomorrow as I have volunteer training in the morning. Have a good walk.

Great article, thanks Bob. Looks like they need more people for the PanAm games - especially MEN/
I'll be content to watch it on TV.
See you on Saturday morning, and good luck to the Yonge Street walkers on Sunday.
I hope they actually have the race walk on TV. In any case, tickets are $35 each, $22.50 for seniors.
As far as my walking goes, I won't be out tomorrow (Saturday) to recover from this cold and to walk with Helen on Sunday.
I be there this morning.

If it isn't actually raining and the sky seems to clear, I'd be happy for a walk on Monday. Anyone?
I hope so - depends on traffic - I'll keep you posted.
I'm waiting to see how it is around 6:20

Radar map suggests we'll be safe for a walk. Hope to be there, if my compadres make it home in time.
Lynne and I will give it a shot - 7 at Loblaws

Sorry. Got home too late to walk.
If it's raining tonight (Wednesday), I would prefer not to walk – well, to rephrase: I'd prefer to walk, just not in cold rain.
If it's snowing tonight, I might consider going back to California. Alternatively, I could bundle up and walk.
Occasions at 7 pm? Who's going?
I'm in if its not raining or snowing(!) Maybe I'll join you on a trip to California
Forecast looks pretty crummy - maybe if we walk at 1am - it'll be cold but not raining...
Won't be out tonight, going out for dinner where I won't get wet or cold.
Lynne
Is anyone walking tonight? Is tomorrow night better?
I can't walk Thursday night, unfortunately. I'm dressed and ready -- Bob just got home. So I'm willing to walk, unless it starts raining (I don't mind snow).
I'm in, then. I will see you at Occasions.
Don't wait for me,
Leverne
I'll be ready soon - looks like the rain is going to hold off????
