Walks - Saturday Nov. 4 - Wednesday Nov. 8

Our day time walkers having too much fun

Join us on Saturday (rain or shine) at Tim's at 8:00 am for a walk with family and friends - really, we're like family!  The distance is up to you - I'll suggest 6 - 10 kms just to get the conversation started. As long as you are out and active, it is all good.

Those training for LV are on taper and scheduled to do 12 km. Trish - take care of that knee - your big race is in two weeks.

Libby and Susan head to New York (such a sacrifice)  for the NYC Marathon. - the largest marathon in the world with 50,000 competitors! Please do a rain dance for them!

Sunday morning walkers meet at Running Room on Queen St., 8:30 am - join in.

Mid week walks remain as follows: Monday (7:00 pm) Loblaws; Wednesday (6:30 pm) Occasions. Join in whenever you are able to do so.

I know that a few folks are recovering from surgery or are ill or injured - best take care and we hope to see you soon.

Announcements:
Time to start thinking about races for next year. Check this link (assuming it works) for some ideas - you may need to copy and paste it:

We already have a few signed up for the Niagara Women's Race, the Shopper's Women's Race and the Diva Race...all in June. 

Robbie Burns (a mere 8K) is always a race to kick off the year in January and this week the  Canada Running Serieshas posted their usually early bird specials for Spring Roster, Zoo Race and a few others. 

A race or two or three every year keeps us energized and most importantly- walking is great for your health!

Libby assures me that we will talk more about races interest at the yearly pot luck so please bring races of interest to the event.

We could also consider a challenge for 2018 - ideas?

Good luck to our New York gals. Enjoy your race. I won't be out Saturday. Should be back to regular Saturday walks in 2 weeks. I have registered for the Resolution Run/Walk in Vancouver on New Years Day. Also registered for Robbie Burns. Have a great weekend everyone.

I thought we'd be able to make it out Wednesday night, but it is not to be. Hopefully, things will calm down soon.
