Walks: Sat. July 21 to Wed. July 25

A photo op with one of our morning walk groups

Maybe it's the (slight) break in the hot weather, but people are starting to sign up for fall races – I know that having a goal and a schedule helps me stay motivated. How about you?

Another good reason to come out to join us on Saturdays or during the week – plus coffee, company, and sometimes… beer. In case you haven't checked the comments on last week's blog, we are shifting the Wednesday night walk on July 18th to Thursday, July 19 at 6 pm. Still at Occasions, but with a finish at the Godspeed Brewery patio. Sign in if you'll be there.

Note that, next week, some of us will be at camp or cottages, so our ranks might be thinner than usual. Check to see if you'll have company for your walks.

From Libby:

This week’s race training distances are as follows:

Maritimers long distance of 16K
Corning ladies long distance 12K
Both races require weekday distances of 8 and 8.

Trainees are always looking for company on their long walks so please sign in if you wish to join them! The fall race list is expanding...thank you Olwyn (Scotia Half) and Helen and Bob (Maritime 5K and Half – that's two races, three medals).

Remember local races of Jazz fest next weekend with distances of 20, 10 and 5K…something for everyone. The Shakespeare Rules race is coming up in August...any interest please let Libby know. Links to race details and registration are in the sidebar on the blog web page.

Welcome home to Ruth, Susan, and others. We look forward to hearing your stories!

From Helen:

Please send any post-race news and any Shore Things pictures to me. I'm on blog duty next week as well. Thanks, and take care!
