Saturday Training - February 7 - Our second Saturday of the year in High Park!
There were 22 Toronto Power Walkers training in Mt Pleasant Cemetery last Saturday! Turning left definitely added variety to our walk, as some found themselves on different paths. No matter, we did the distance.
If you haven't been out with the group on Saturdays for a while, please come out this weekend. WE MISS YOU!
