Walks: Sat. June 30 to Wed. July 4

Last Saturday, I was giving a talk in a beautiful garden – in the pouring rain.
This Saturday, what will the weather bring?!

Friends, given the extreme-heat warning for the long weekend, it will be especially important for us to check in before our walk on Saturday. If the weather is reasonable, I suggest a short walk in the most breezy location – either the boardwalk or the spit, depending which way the wind blows. Another option is to do what we did during the extreme cold this winter – head downtown to walk the air-conditioned PATH. Keep these options in mind when you sign in.

Race and training news from Libby:

The only training distance this week is 10K for Lynne (and any other's considering the Maritime weekend). Distances of 6 and 8K during the week.

A new local race to consider…

Shakespeare Runs the Night on August 25 replaces the Midsummer's Night Race. The race is capped at 1000 entrants so hurry with your decision to register. Distances are 15 and 30K with a 15K walking division!!  Many from WOW are interested so do sign up soon. Link is on the blog and https://raceroster.com/events/2018/18831/shakespeare-runs-the-night.
6pm start from Woodbine Beach. Costumes are a must!!!

Reminder - Please let Libby know of any races you sign up for!!

That's it from me (Helen) as I take over the blog for our globetrotter, Susan. Please send me your news and pictures, or you might have to put up with flowers in every post!

Sending good thoughts to all of you, at home and abroad. Thanks for your get-well wishes. My broken arm (a hairline fracture) is on the mend. It only hurts when I do that (ouch!).

Special healing vibes go out to Nishe's partner Nigel. We're thinking of you both.
