Walks - Saturday May 14 - Wednesday May 18

Margy rocks in K-W

Join us on Saturday, at Tim's at 8:00 am. For those training, distance requirements are as follows: the Toronto Women's Half (16K) and Niagara Women's Half (20K). Week day distances are 10 and 10 for both days. For the rest, any distance is good distance. 

Mid-week walks: Sunday morning, at 8:30 am, at Running Room on Queen Street.  Anyone interested in day time walks during the week could contact Dawn.  Evening walks at 7:00 pm are located at Loblaws on Mondays and Occasions on Wednesday.

Race Report from Libby:  May 8th was an exciting day with two races where our Shore Things shone! Sporting Life 10 K:  Ruth finished in a blazing 1:14:20, followed by Joan- 1:23 (wow!) , Arlene and Elaine at 1:26 and Olwyn close on their heels at 1:27. Well done ladies!


At K-W: Rainer was first in his age group and second male with a time of 1:12:56- seems the UK trip proved good training!. Margy- again first in her age group- came in at 1:21. Excellent showing.

Announcements:  from Olwyn: Let's support this race: women’s 5k or 10k run/walk sponsored by Shoppers, on June 11, for Women’s College Hospital. If we can get a little group together (minimum 5 walkers), we can get a discount; and apparently the race kits are quite good. Their slogan is ‘Walk it out…Run it out’, so good for our group.  www.runforwomen.ca/    Any interest?

from Libby: There is a real push by the organizer of the Ajax Run/Walk for Education to try and bring in walkers. They plan to monitor the walking race course for any "cheaters".  The waterfront trail is  a great route to walk along. Both 10 and 5 k distances are available. Register at Brandon Hill 5K/10K Walk/Run in Ajax.


Thanks so much, Olwyn for arranging a wonderful opera evening Tuesday night. 

Arlene, Elaine and Olwyn after the Sporting Life 10k; According to Olwyn "it was a perfect day, sunny, not too cold, and very well organized, especially at the end of the race. Lots of bagels, bananas, drinks, water; shuttle buses back to the subway; a great race all the way along the route. Also a very nice medal. And fun!"
