Won't be out tomorrow, I'm off up north for the weekend. Happy walking everyone.
We’d prefer the 7 am start for 18K on Saturday, if “prefer” can be taken with a bucket of salt.
I will be out on Saturday at 8:00 am for a short-ish walk.
So, so sorry that I can't join those walking at 7:00 for 18 km.
Susan, I feel your pain. Or I might after 18K.
I plan to be out at 8am. Looking forward to seeing you all!
I need to do 14k tomorrow, so I'll aim to be at Tim's at 7:30am, and if anyone is there to join me, great; if not, I'll see you after for coffee! And yes Susan, that is...I mean, it WAS, my beer! It was delightful!
Maybe it was Stacey's beer, however there were a few scattered around the pool deck! See you at 8:00 for a short, and most likely a slow walk... I have to walk off the stress of the first week back to work (no not really)!!!
Arlene and I will be out at 8.
I'll be out at 7 for (gulp) 18K.
I have a couple of routes mapped out:
Boardwalk to far side of Rosetta McClain
Spit with a side trip down to Cherry Beach
Through St Jamestown to Rosedale
Any preferences?
My preference would be the Spit and Cherry Beach – because of potential bathroom access. Happy to save Rosedale for less clement weather.
I hope to be out at 8.00 tomorrow and am going to test my injured toe in running. Shoes. will be short and slow....
See you as close to 8 as possible. We (me, Laura and Barb) wait for Patty to come in from Oshawa.

I'll be there at 7am to join the early birds; see you in the (yawn!) morning!
I’m for 18 k at 7 am. I prefer the spit rout too. 😊
Testit. This is Helen
Testing time 3. Lyndia
The Corning crew plan to start at 8 am from Lyndia’s, as she’s without transportation. 8K is the distance.
I am hoping to go tomorrow morning.
Where are the Corning crew meeting on Wednesday morning and at what time?
This is just a question - not committing - not yet, anyway.
The Corningers are meeting in the parking lot of Taylor Creek Park, which is at the bottom of the dip on Dawes Road, opposite Crescent Town. The start time is 8 am, and the distance is 10K.
Bob will certainly be there, and I hope to be if I can get my work finished tonight...
Thanks - I may join the crew, if I wake up in time - but I don't want to set my alarm, so ...... please don't wait for me if I am AWOL at 8:00 am.
I will be walking with the Corningers.
