Olwyn's Wet and Wild on Race Day
The Goodlife Race last Sunday was wet and wild with
a cold rain for the entire race combined with a wind at the Ontario
Place finish. None the less, all the Shore Things finished the race with an
excellent showing. Congratulations to Bob (2:34) 2nd male walker, Ruth
(2:43) 1st in her age group, Arlene (2:54) first in her age group, with Libby
same time (2nd in age group), Helen (3:09), Olwyn, Cheryl and first
timer Julie (3:29). Congratulations for
perseverance and will power against the weather! Thanks to Trish for the photos.
Join us for our walks:
Saturday at Tim's at 8:00 am. Those training for the Toronto Women's Half (18 km) and Niagara Women's Half (20 km) may want an earlier start given your distance. Let others know on the blog what you plan to do and when.
Sunday mornings, 8:30 am at the Running Room on Queen Street.
Mid week walks are at their usual places Monday at Loblaws and Wednesday at Occasions starting at 7:00 pm.
It is a busy weekend:
Good Luck to Joan, Arlene, Elaine, Ruth and Olwyn in this
Sunday’s Sporting Life 10K!. Weather looks very promising for this great race.
Welcome back to Margy and Rainer AND Good Luck to you
both in the walker
friendly KW Race on Sunday as well. Registration is
still open for any last minute racing wannabe’s for this race. On another note, Margy, we are thinking of you this week following the tragic death of your friend and injuries to other friends in a tragic accident here in the Beaches.
We still have folks who are travelling - be safe; keep well; bring back some great stories to share with us.
And, to those with injuries or illness, our thoughts are with you. And, we miss you.

As it's only me training for the Toronto Women's Half this Saturday, I'm making the exec decision to take it easy for a week before resuming training. So to match my TWH partner Olwyn (who's doing the 10K on Sunday), I'll be good for 10K, in any direction. See you at Tim's.
It makes me shiver just looking at those photos; but the brunch after the race almost made up for the rainy day! Yes, I'll be doing the Sporting Life 10k on Sunday, and I wish my TWH partner, Helen, a good 10k on Saturday morning. Happy walking everyone; somehow, with the sunshine, and the warmer weather, walking any distance will be fun!
Congratulations to all the Good Life finishers ... very good finish times.
We should have good weather for the K-W walking classic ...
We'll see if the Training we did walking from Pastry Shop to Pastry Shop in the UK has affected our finish times.
Rainer
I'll be out tomorrow - not sure I'll be up for 10k since I haven't been out for over a week and am still recovering from this rotten cold, but I'll see - if the weather is nice maybe....
I'll be out for 10Kish
I plan to be out in the morning for a good 5 or 6 km. Good luck to all racers this weekend. Looks like better weather than last week.
I plan to be at Tim's tomorrow morning for same walk as Trish.
Congratulations to all the racers who completed the half last weekend. And good for you, Trish, to go out in that weather to take photos. What a group........
Having tomorrow off, resting up for Sunday. Sore foot and back so not expecting amazing time but looking forward to it.
I'll be out at Tim's - could be talked into 10 kms with you, Helen, depending a bit on the route. The Spit will be full of little bugs in the air, everywhere, for the next couple of weeks so I'm not interested in the Spit.
Susan
I'll be out tomorrow morning. Barb, see you at our favourite corner.
SKJ
I'll be out tomorrow morning, though I very definitely will not be doing 18 or 20 K.
Ruth
I should be out tonight - not sure I'm up for 10k but 6-8 okay.
I will come out to Loblaws unless we are meeting somewhere else. I feel like lying on my couch and sleeping but will roll my slug-like body out of the door at ten to seven.
I don't think I'll come tonight - walked a lot already today - don't have a good excuse .....
Enjoy your walk - lovely evening.
8K sounds good to me. I'm feeling sluglike, too.
Anyone up for 8K on Wednesday from Occasions? Bob and I will walk down to make up my 10K. (It might be a slow one. I seem to be developing that cough that's going around.)
I am not walking tonight.
Sorry Helen, but it's only 6 for us tonight
Leverne
Okay, Leverne -- we'll work around that.
Just got home so I will not be there tonight. Enjoy your walk.
