Walks - Sat. Oct. 31 - Wed. Nov. 4

Our Stars who completed the Niagara Falls half

Join us at Tim's at 8:00 am on Saturday for a distance of your choosing - long or short - it's all good.

 

Midweek walks - Monday (Loblaws) & Wednesday (Occasions) evenings at 7:00 pm - there may be other options as well so let people know if you have a plan B to announce. The main point is to get out and walk.

 

Announcements/Updates: from Helen - Niagara - beautiful course along the Niagara River — mostly flat, though rather windy. Reasons to celebrate: 

- Bob finished in top 10 and first in his age category: time of 2:38:43.

- Libby was in top 20, also first in her category, with a time of 2:54:20

- Lynne had a personal best of 2:55:31 and credits Libby as her pace bunny

- Helen and Leverne crossed the line together with a respectable 3:04:31. 

A round of applause for completing their first half marathons:

  Viv finished with an excellent 3:13:07

  Kim was close behind at 3:16:43

  Deanna at 3:16:44 

  Viv’s friend Katherine had an admirable finish at 3:01:50

Well done, everyone!

 

From Libby - Discussion about a race in Montreal - the Rock and Roll Marathon September 25th. The race also has a 10K division for those interested a shorter distance. Course is relatively flat, circles both Ile’s in the St Lawrence and ends in Parc Fontaine, a very picturesque route! Unfortunately, the Scotia Bank Montreal Marathon is in April and is not a walker friendly race with a half marathon time limit of three hours.

 

Please prepare your race interest list for a discussion at the pot luck dinner November 14th.

We have a small contingent signed up for the 5K Santa Shuffle in Burlington December 12th. Click on the website through the blog to sign up if you wish to join them.

Remember the Resolution Run December 27th. Swag this year is a nice red vest and toque with sample sizes at Running Room shops. Always a good way to end 2015 and start 2016 with an untimed 5K!!!

Sorry for the late post - I almost forgot.
