Look at the hotels in Cambridge - we stayed there last time and are staying there again.

We initially booked with VRBO but long story short - it didn't work out. Lots of other folks use it though, and are successful.

Pinehurst Conservation Area - just north of Paris Ontario

And we love having the runners and walkers hang out with us at Aid Station 3/4!!

oh wow.. that will be one awesome scenic walk!!

Portland has a Nordic Walking division, not many are entered tho.

I do NW 5 days a week - on weekends, my longer walks are with one or another of the 4 dogs.

Do it yourself ...

... 15 days, no posts.. i'm all alone in this pursuit of walking .. i feel sooo SPEC-ial..

Any walkers still left on these forums? I'm aiming to up the mileage to 1000 kms for the year of 2009 - and looking to move up to at least one 10k event during the year. Anybody else? I know there must be walkers out there lurking - come on in and post - we can all learn much from each other and gai...

speaking of bell ringing... the announcer at Niagara last week kept calling out over and over again "more cowbell! we need more cowbell!"

i guess they need you there next year..

hmm... am i the only one reading or posting here? dragged out the RACING PAWS (new set of rubber asphalt paws for the nordic poles) last sunday and did the 5k at niagara, zippy time for me with a PB of 57:37 .. its taken me YEARS (literally, years!) to get from the 60minute mark down to this awesome...

Roast a turkey. Let it sit and cool. Strip all the meat off. Package the meat into one-serving size baggies. Freeze the baggies. Pull out a baggy of turkey meat each evening to thaw overnight if you want it for breakfast the next day. Take baggy of turkey meat on the go with you. Alternative: do sam...

...and she's not kidding!

... wake up sleepy walkers... anybody doing any events this fall? done any events this fall? still walking? or hibernating?

I second that - Suez qualifies for MANIAC status!

You're way too modest, Suez! There were walkers out there that did only ONE loop (12.5k) of that 25k event in the same time you did TWO loops of it

Plus you beat out some runners - way to go!!

... long overdue for a walkers bump here ... still walking ... still cycling... alas, its rainy outside right now so might not get out for that lunchtime 2k

.... "sometimes" .. you can use the expired ones past the expiry date ... such as the 20% off ones from Vector cereal that expired on Sep 7, they will take those for a month or two past the expiry date .. not sure if they will take the Nestea 15% off one or not, but you could always try!

.. just back in from nice 2k lunchtime walk(up/downhill) - wearing my nice new pink danskin top ... yippee, i feel more girly girl now that I'm slowly starting to revamp the dark (black, navy) wardrobe for walking/biking and getting a few nicer things to wear ... slow but sure!

... you're just trying to up your post count, right?

Woohooo, I can cheer you walkers on cuz I'm on Volunteer Duty at The Toad!

Welcome to the forum!

Generally stick to 5k events myself - although bumping up to a 6k on Oct 1 at the police college in Aylmer for the Tornado Fun Run Walk Blade Bike event.

just popping in to say 'hi' and zipping out again oh... i've got a new love: CYCLING!! and as with the walking, i'm not SPEEDY, but i sure do love it - did 22kms on sunday morning in rain - not mist - not a few drops - we're talking rain - downpour at times - who cares once you're wet - its just wat...

Hullo again! I've been walking 2km morning and noon all summer long, a total improvement over last summer when I only walked mornings before work. Did the CRIM 5k walk over the weekend and improved my time by 9 minutes over last year - and it was just as hot'n'humid as it always is in Flint for the ...
