Had Enough Of the Fluffy Stuff?
The forecast for Friday is predicting a significant accumulation—10 to 15 cm, perhaps even up to 30—which might make walking Saturday morning rough, particularly if the streets and sidewalks are not fully cleared. Another PATH walk? Or you can fly away to somewhere warmer as a number of us have done. Witness the following report from Margy and Rainer.
With the type of weather we are having in Florida we decided to get back into doing a few races. My concern was whether my knees would be able to handle the stress. We have just finished our second 5km (the Gaspirella Classic in Tampa) big event with over 20,000 participants doing 5km, 8km, 15km, half and full marathon. A hot, hot, hot day and the course was so crowded it was tough trying to get any speed up. The good news is my knees managed the course and Margy beat me to the finish line …. again.
We had fun doing the race and the beer at the finish line was just perfect to cool down. Nice medal, wild t-shirt and the postrace party went well. Will try to do a few more races to see if I can get the knees better.
Thinking of all you training in the cold, wet snowy conditions … Stay healthy
Weekly Walks
As mentioned above, Saturday could be a trudge fest, so options are:
- Get out there with a spunky attitude, good clothing and footwear;
- Defer to Sunday hoping the roads have been cleared;
- Walk indoors;
- Stay home and drink coffee or tea in a comfy chair.
For option 3, car pooling could either be from our place (you know where) or Loblaw’s. Share your preference.
We are the Shore Things 
Going to sleep in Sunday morning instead and get my exercise shoveling out our parking spot!

If it is still snowing in the morning I’ll be shoveling rather than walking. If the snow has stopped, I’m up for a snowy walk.
Or if anyone wants to try for Sunday, with a late start (9:00), I’ll watch the blog. So far, the city has been doing a great job of plowing and salting the Martin Goodman Trail.

Agreeing with Ruth about shoveling, we decided against the PATH. Unfortunately, I’m giving a talk in Galt on Sunday morning and Bob is my chauffeur. Enjoy your walk.

Maybe Sunday if the roads are cleared. We’re supposed to go to Hamilton tomorrow if we can get there!
