Walks - Saturday Dec. 29 - Wednesday Jan. 2

Happy Holidays

Well, here we are planning the final walks of 2018 - hard to believe. Join us for the walk, the talk and the coffee on Saturday, at Tim's at 8:00 am. The distance is whatever suits you and the weather.

Sunday walkers meet at the Running Room at 8:30 am - Consider joining in.

Monday 9:00 AM - if anyone is interested in walking on Monday morning, let's meet at Tim's (Lakeshore). I'm not sure if folks are interested in Monday's walk so please sign in and let others know.

Wednesday walkers will meet at Tim's at 9:00 am. Again, please sign in and join in.

The schedule is a little hit and miss with the holidays.....with many folks travelling .... and others who are busy entertaining family and friends.  Soon we will be back to our regularly scheduled walks. Bear with us.

If you have been missing in action, this is the perfect time to step back into action. We are looking forward to seeing you again. 

Now that 2019 is upon us, it is time to get serious about some walking and fitness goals for the year ahead. What motivates you to get up and move? Interested in losing a few pounds? Does a race inspire you to train and travel? Are you interested in a challenge? Want to hike the Bruce Trail, end to end? I read about a gentleman who was celebrating his 100th birthday - he had hiked the Bruce Trail, end to end, twice, during his 80s - WOW - amazing!  What's your plan? Let's get thinking and discussing ways to keep us motivated to move.

Happy New Year - celebrate the end of 2018 and may 2019 be an especially good year for you. ...with lots of adventure and the pleasure of special times with family and friends. I think we have a few folks moving to new accommodations; some will undoubtably travel to interesting places;  we have weddings coming, and perhaps a grandchild or two is expected - life is good. And, as we know, life brings challenges too....

Be safe; keep well; see you Saturday.
