This week I had to walk slowly as I has
dental surgery and was forbidden to exert myself. But the weather was too lovely on Saturday to
miss a walk so I strolled about 8 kilometres and then had a soft breakfast I
had not earned. The lovely thing about
the Toronto Power Walker is that, no matter what your pace, there’s someone
there to walk with you.
We have walkers at every level. I can never keep up with Michael, Phyllis or
Diane. Their pace is blistering. But I can enjoy their company at breakfast
and hear their discussions about training.
And, equally, I can enjoy walking with folks who are recovering from
injury or returning after an absence and rebuilding their abilities.
This coming week is week 1 of the TPW
training program for those planning one of the late summer or fall marathons
and half-marathons. I’m looking forward
to getting myself ready. Thanks go to
Phyllis for putting the program together for us.
