Arlene, Elaine & Olwyn - racing last weekend in Toronto
Join us on Saturday at Tim's at 8:00 am. The weather promises to be beautiful. There are only a few folks who are still training for spring races - Helen and Olwyn are doing 12K on Saturday for the
Women's Half. Margy needs to do 16K to train for the Niagara
Women's race. The rest of us could comfortably aim for at least 10K Saturday - according to Libby.
Sunday mornings some of us meet at 8:30 am at Running Room on Queen St.
Monday - because it is a holiday for most, I suggest meeting at Tim's 2 at 8:30 am - sign in so others know your plans.
Wednesday at Occasions at 7:00 pm. - Signing in helps.

from Rainer: It was Cleveland Marathon last weekend. The race morning started wet
from overnight rain … but it had stopped … it was
very cold and halfway into
the race it started raining again and then the hail started … it was wicked …
one of the worst conditions we have ever done a race in … rain mixed in with
hail and in May … took most of the competitors by surprise … Although we both came in
looking like drowned rats, Margy came in 13th
walker, 1st in her age
category with a time of 1:22:15, the old boy came in 6th overall walker, 1st in his age category with a 1:15:55
finish time.
Cleveland will be doing their
40th anniversary Marathon
weekend next year May 14, 2017. Put it on your calendar it will be a huge
event. Would be great to have a lot of walkers in the 10, half and full
marathon walker categories. Cleveland is a terrific city with interesting architecture, good hotels, lots of restaurants, brew pubs, friendly locals, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland Indians Baseball, Cavaliers Basketball, a large Runners Expo with lots of vendors and shopping.
from Susan: I will be away for the next few weeks and Helen will be taking over the blog in my absence - thanks (yet, again) Helen. Enjoy your walks....see you on June 18th.
Have a great long weekend.
Just ask Sylvia where she was hiking!

I will be at Tims in the morning for at least 10k. See you there.
I'll be out for a short walk tomorrow - no more than 8 - have to be somewhere at 10
I'll be at Tim's for a 12k with Helen, and anyone else who wants to do 12k! Looks like a beautiful weekend! Congrats Margy and Rainer on your great 'times'!
yes, I'll see you at 8. but will be going with the short walkers. Distance, that is, not height!!
See you at 8 for 12K.
I won't be out this Saturday. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.
I'll be there tomorrow. 12 K just might be doable. Have to rejuvenate! See you at the bus stop, Barb.

I will be out tomorrow, to walk a 6-8 k. Thanks Sharon.
Barb Shand
I'll be out tomorrow, and am also planning to walk from Tim's 2 on Monday.
My office mate brought in cookies this week - I need to do as much walking as possible!
Ruth
See you tomorrow at 8, and 8:30 on Monday at Tim2.
Val

Bob and I won't be out this morning at Tim's 2 -- late night last night. Happy Victoria Day! See you on Wednesday.
I completely forgot about walking this morning! I was up in time but didn't think of it until after 10- it felt like Sunday today. Hope everyone had a good walk.
I do want to walk on Wednesday evening, but Bob will be returning from a school trip to Ste-Marie Among the Hurons and might not make it back in time. If he doesn't, I'll wait to walk with him. Can confirm closer to walk time.
Leverne and Lynne are up for a short , slow walk, preferably on the shady side of the street
EEk time got away from me - I hope to walk - just leaving Dupont station now
Bob's still stuck at school waiting for parent pick-up for the kids. He won't make it home in time to walk at 7 from Occasions -- so he and I will walk from home. I think I only need 5K anyway tonight.
