I arrived at the gates to the cemetery to
find a few folks waiting outside. There
was a certain sense of fatalism as we considered that security had locked us
out because it was too slippery to walk.
As a few more TPW’s joined us, we considered our options. Our usual restaurant wouldn’t be open
yet. Should we do a bit of treacherous
street walking or go to Tim Horton’s?
But, just as we were about to turn away,
security arrived to open the gates and assure us that the walking was not
bad. We started off, tentatively. Those in front determined that the first hill
was too slippery so we made a detour and did our walk on the main roads
only. It really wasn’t too bad for those
of us who had some kind of traction device.
Those who were walking without had to be very careful. Nicole decided to do the one hill near the
gate over and over till we returned.
We only walked 2.6 km and the pace was
certainly not quick. But we were happy
to have been outside, the rain hadn't started and we headed off to breakfast
where Nicole provided scrumptious home-made treats.
This afternoon I watched the retrospective
DVD that Helen made with over 600
pictures of our 5 years of PowerWalking since 2009. That certainly made me feel warm despite
the rain outside my window. She’ll bring
them to the tea in January for all
.
Happy Holidays to all!
