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!

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!

POSTPONED: Picnic at Maplelawn

The weather doesn't appear to cooperating, so I think we should postpone our pot luck picnic. It may not be raining in the morning but everything will be wet, so let's meet and eat at our usual spots: Bushtekka at 9:00 and Donna's at 10:10.

Jennifer is away this week so I’m sending out the message about the Saturday W.R.A.P. (Walking, Running And Poling) location.

Let’s meet at Maplelawn gardens for a picnic this week, instead of our usual meeting place.

Location: Keg Manor (Maplelawn), 529 Richmond Road
Parking: At the back
Time: 9:00
Bring: Something for the potluck picnic (something easy!)

There are picnic tables in the garden where we will eat after our walk/run.

If the weather looks uncertain, please check the blog on Saturday morning to make sure the picnic is still on. I will post a confirmation by 8 am on Saturday.

Saturday, May 23: CANCELLED

Hello everyone ...

Based on all the replies I received, I've decided to 'officially' cancel Saturday morning walk/run this week.

It sure is a busy weekend for everyone, so go out and enjoy yourselves, whether at Chelsea, participating in the Great Glebe Garage sale, or anything else you may be up to.

We'll be back to normal next weekend.

Jennifer

PS - Hi to everyone from Chris in Peggy's Cove!
