Walks: Sat. Feb. 10 to Wed. Feb. 14.

A Valentine to our great group – where would we be without us!
Let's all be thankful for being part of the Shore Things. Would we be venturing outdoors in this crazy Winter 2017/8 if it weren't for the good company we find on and after our walk? Thanks to Eva for this capture of a typical Saturday morning at Tim's.

Come out on Saturday for more of the same; distance of your choosing. And be sure to let people know if you are or are not walking on Saturday or Sunday mornings, or Monday or Wednesday evenings, or arranging a weekday walk, wherever and whenever it is. That's what comments are for!

As Wednesday is Valentine's Day (and Dawn's birthday), we expect some will take the evening off. If not, why not come out and celebrate friendship on a walk, instead. Let us know what you decide.

Libby has reminders about an upcoming race possibility:
Winter blahs got you down?? Sign up for a spring race to motivate you through the snow... Race Roster Spring Run-Off has a fabulous new medal this year (check it out; very cute and it's Shore Things blu) and its only 8K. Surely the snow will have melted by April 7! Do give this one a consideration and let me know if you sign up. 
Walking boosts your mind, body and soul!
I'll add that the Zoo Run medal for the short race in September features polar bears this year.

And that's my last post, until the next time! Cheers.

I plan to be out on Saturday morning, but not if there is freezing rain....so weather please cooperate.

Looking forward to seeing everyone then.

Alas, I won't be out this Saturday. Hope to see everyone next weekend. An early "Welcome home" to you, Susan.

I plan to be out for a walk tomorrow morning. Welcome back Susan! I look forward to hearing your travel stories - if I can keep up with you!

Snow snow and more snow in the forecast. I plan to be out tomorrow morning - thoughts on a (safe) route??

Libby said...

Arlene and I plan to be out tomorrow. may need Yak Taks! freezing rain could send us to the PATH...will check the blog early am.

We also plan to walk in Mt Pleasant Cemetary Sunday around 10 if anyone wishes to join us..It is usually plowed and salted

I'll be out tomorrow, and will check the blog to see if there's been a change in venue. Yak Traks for sure (unless we walk inside) - mine are still drying out from last night!

I can't see it becoming freezing rain, as it looks like below-zero temps and snow, snow and more snow over the next 24 hours. Hope to be out on Saturday, because I'm so sick of the winter weather keeping us indoors.

On Monday evening, I'll be in Etobicoke delivering another presentation, in case anyone wants to walk in the morning.

P Dawn said...

I hope to be at Tim's tomorrow morning. If weather is really rotten, I might just spend the time walking around inside of Tim's...

Im having difficulty believing Spring will ever arrive!

Deanna said...

I’m hoping to walk Saturday depending on the weather.

Eva said...

I plan to walk tomorrow if I do not get any request of grandkid sleepover tonight. If there is lots of snow, I am with Dawn to walk around inside Tim's.

Olwyn said...

I probably won't be out in the morning as I'm working late tonight; but if I wake up early by some chance, I may come and join Eva and Dawn walking around inside of Tim's!
Welcome back, Susan; looking forward to hearing about your adventure...

Lou-Ann said...

I plan to walk, however depending on the snow over night, I may not be there...Susan, I look forward to hearing about this recent adventure, pictures sure looked great...

Even though Charlotte, Marie and I had an excellent workout plowing through the snow Wednesday morning, I think I`ll head to the gym instead tomorrow.

Enjoy your walk, see you next time.

I won’t be walking after all due to weather. I’ve already slipped on the ice. See you all next week.

Leverne said...

I'm waiting til morning to see what it's like outdoors

Would love to walk in the morning. Very much missing the routine and the company, but drive home tonight was too slippy for me and walking in this is death to my knees. Will see what it looks like at 7am.

Unless there is a heatwave overnight I will be safe in my house tomorrow morning. Don't even want to drive in this weather.

My grandson arrived tonight for sleepover , so I will not walk tomorrow (Saturday) and I will enjoy Pokemon games with him. For those walking be careful and keep warm.

Leverne said...

Is there anyone still walking?

Susan said...

I'm going Leverne - see you there at Tim's

Helen said...

A reminder that I won’t be walking on Monday night, as I’m giving a talk. I’ll let Bob speak for himself.

Susan said...

Monday - I'm going to walk in the day light with the hope that I'll be able to avoid the ice. Won't be at Loblaws.

Jan said...

I'm working so think I'll skip tonight.

Leverne said...

I'm not going to walk at night until it warms up and dries up, hopefully not too far in the future

Ditto what Leverne said.

Susan said...

I totally understand Leverne's comment above - I feel the same (although I hate to admit it).

Going walking today during the day when I can see hazards. See you Saturday.

Helen said...

Walking during the day in weather like this makes perfect sense. But Bob and I will be celebrating the day this evening. See you on Saturday.
