On Saturday, there were extreme
cold temperature warnings in the forecast when I got up. I dressed in lots of layers and headed out to
meet our group at 8:30. Diane caught up
with me on Yonge Street and we both commented that it didn’t seem as cold as
the forecasters had predicted. I had
been thinking about completing 9 kilometres and skipping breakfast in order to
be on time for a later event. But
Diane’s logic woke me to the possibility of walking 6 kilometres and having
breakfast. A much better plan!
There were a lot of walkers
out. Mary and Barb, training for the
Chilly Half, had already completed one loop of the cemetery when we
gathered. Nicole led us in oil-ups and
off we went. It was great to see Laurel
and Sue back outside after recovering from their injuries.
The footing was a bit precarious
with a dusting of snow over the ice. At
least one walker went down but thankfully, without injury. Our
eggs tasted especially good after the very fresh air!
