Hello everyone!!!!
I am going to go out on a limb and say that we can get our run/walk in this week without rain!!!!!! They may come later in the day, but will hold off for our run/walk! If the humidity hangs on till then, be extra aware of bringing water with you to re-hydrate yourselves!
So, we'll meet at Bushtukah by 9:00am and do breakfast by 10:15. I know that many are going to St Catharines for the Dragonboat Festival and we wish you all a great Festival and tons of fun! Others, let me know your intention, cause I may end up out there by myself!
Till then!
Jennifer

A little sun, a little rain,
A soft wind blowing from the west,
And woods and fields are sweet again,
And warmth within the mountain's breast.

Good day everyone ...
I was waiting and hoping to get a better forecast for Saturday, but that just doesn't seem to be happening!
To quote Dave Philips from Environment Canada, this has been a "bummer of a summer"! It seems that if they're not calling for rain, then they're calling for a 'cold front'! Not that we want the wicked heat, but we do want some sun and warmth!!!
But, in our never-ending optimistic outlook on life, we'll still plan on our usual Saturday morning Walk & Run!
So, let's meet at Bushtukah for 9:00am and we'll take it from there! If it's just a gentle little rain, we can still do our walk/run. If it's lightning and thunder, well then maybe just breakfast?
A rainy day is the perfect time for a walk in the woods. ~Rachel Carson
See you on Saturday!

Saturday, July 4
Hopefully the weather gods will look over us Saturday morning and allow us to do our walk/run and of course breakfast, without showering upon us! :)
I'm pretty confident that we'll get our run'/walk in before any rains, and who knows, maybe a good part of the day the sun will shine upon us! Especially after the past few days, I think we totally deserve some time without threat of rain or thunder!
So, come on out on Saturday and enjoy the exercise, outdoors and of course the great company!
Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Hello everyone ...
I've been thinking that since a number of people are away this weekend, including myself, and a number of people are participating in the Dragonboat Festival, that perhaps we should cancel this Saturday's Triathlon ... Wall / Run and Breakfast!
Good Luck to all the dragonboaters! Looks like the weather will cooperate and the crowds will be enthusiastic!
For those not involved, try to get an opportunity to take in a race or 2 in and support our gals! Also, the Flower Ceremony is always a very special time! Someone might be able to post Busting Out and Busting Out Again's race times as well as the time of the Flower Ceremony on a Reply here.
Have a great week everyone and see you next weekend!

"You cannot just say you're dedicated, you cannot just say you're motivated, you cannot just talk about your strengths, you have to prove it" -Lance Armstrong
And they did!
Congratulations to Elaine Scarboro and Sue Bayly for their 1/2 Marathon results!!!! Well done girls!!!!!
I saw them both near the finish and they looked strong and great!!! Good for you gals!!!
Prompts the question ... "What is next?"
Too bad ill weather interfered with last week's picnic, but it will be rescheduled later in the summer!
This Saturday looks simply marvelous!!!!!!!!!
So, come on out Saturday morning and enjoy great weather, good exercise and fabulous company!!! We're meeting at Bushtukah at 9:00am and will be heading to Donna's for 10:15. It should be a good morning for 'breakfast on the patio'!

Enjoy the rest of the week and see you gals on Saturday!
