Meet at Bushtuka this week

What a gorgeous week we've had, eh? Many of you have probably been busy raking or cleaning your gardens! Didn't that rain on Wed. night make everything so green! What a big and beautiful change!
I finally got rid of my snow last weekend, and that was only because I shoveled most of it onto my driveway or the road!

Well, tomorrow the rains will hold off for us, at least that's the order I have put in. We will meet at Bushtukah by 9:00am, and go off in our various directions. Some will be walking and some will be running, but most will be doing breakfast!

I believe that registration fees go up April 30th for National Capital Race Weekend, for all the distances. There's only 4 weeks till National Capital Race Weekend!

Have a great day and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Because we really didn't talk about it this morning, I assume we'll be meeting at Bushteka at 9:00 next week as usual.
To make these postings more interesting, I think I should post random pictures of the group participants. This is a great one!

Today is an absolutely beautiful day and tomorrow is promising for more of the same!!!

What a great motivating force to get out of the house, get some exercise and and visit with your friends!!! You can't ask for anything more than the fabulous weather that we're going to have for the next few days!

So, put on your shorts and get out and meet us all a Bushtukah Saturday morning at 9:00am. If possible, park on the street, as we don't want to tie up the parking lot too much!

Spring is here!!!!

Hope that everyone is getting out for their exercise, whatever type it may be! The days are just so gorgeous right now!!!
If you haven't been getting out for a while, now's your time to be out there. The trees are budding, the birds are singing and flowers are actually showing their lovely faces!!!

Also, if you're planning on the 5k or 10k walks for National Capital, it is only 5 weeks away and so you should be out there for sure!!

Heather, who taught us the Urban Poling clinic has asked me to pass on this info re: Meetup Groups. This would be a fun way to get in more walks and meet new people.
See below for more info.

Hi Dragon Boaters,

I am sending this invitation out to all past clinic/class participants. I have started a Meetup Group for clinic/class participants who are interested in getting together with other avid uban poling enthusiasts. The first meetup is scheduled for April 30th at 6 pm. I will be scheduling gatherings on varied evenings/locations throughout the spring/summer.The aim of the group is to encourage and motivate each other to continue to enjoy the benefits of urban poling. And to share fun, friendship and fitness!

Participants must bring their own poles and have completed an Intro Clinic, class or lesson.
To join, visit: http://walkers.meetup.com/577/ and register. There is no fee to join the meetup once you've completed a clinic. If you have friends who'd be interested in joining, they can check out the upcoming 90 min Introduction to Urban Poling locations and date information on my website.

Hope you're out enjoying some great walks in the sun and will look forward to seeing you soon!!

Sincerely,

Heather

This could happen to you!

Be sure to wear proper footwear when walking, running or poling.
