Saturday, April 25

Can you really believe it? This is going to be one beautiful weekend!!!!!! If you haven't heard, we're going to get 2 days of sunny, glorious days in the 20's!!!!! And it's still April!!!!

So, isn't that a sign that we all should be out exercising? You can join us Saturday morning, 9:00am at Bushtukah's.

Please try parking on the street and let the customers park in their lot. There usually is tons of room on the street and since we go to breakfast after, we're not taking up their customers' spaces.

Walking, running, poling or any combination, it's up to you! Chances are there's always someone to join you. Then, by around 10:20 we're off to Donna's for breakfast!

Hello everyone ...

What beautiful weather!!!! Doesn't the sun and warmer weather make everything seem a bit cheerier?

Good news is that it should continue for Saturday, though maybe not quite as warm.

Great time to get out and dust those 'winter blues' off and get yourself loosened up for some great challenges! We'll be meeting at Bushukah, 9:00am, and of course with a choice of running or walking.
Breakfast will then be around 10:15am at Donna's!

See you then ... and without those well used winter clothes! :)

Good day everyone ...

Even though it's Easter weekend, there will be some of us still meeting to run / walk, and of course go to breakfast! Chances are there will be a little extra treats this weekend, so Saturday is a good time to get some exercise in ... :)

The weather promises to be nicer ... and I will even forecast 'No Rain'!

So, come on out and join us for a walk or a run. We're meeting at Bushtukah's at 9:00.
Breakfast is at Donna's around 10:15.

Climb uphill on a windy road.

Saturday April 4

Good day everyone ... Beautiful day today, super sunshine and little wind! This is April though, and as the saying goes, "April Showers bring May Flowers!", we do have to put up with a little of the wet stuff now and then. Unfortunately, 'now and then' may mean Saturday morning ... Best thing to do is dress appropriately and ALSO bring a change of top so you can still enjoy breakfast!

So we'll meet at Bushtukah for 9:00 am and the runners and walkers will head out on their various routes. Breakfast at Donna's will be around 10:15.

I'm still wondering if anyone is interested in selling their poles?
