feet…triumphant smiles! Thirty-three
power walkers attacked the slick and sloppy streets of Burlington,
Ontario to put their excellent technique to the test in the
Chilly
Half Marathon on March 2. Everyone was pleased
with their performance and probably really pleased that the
temperature dropped to -24 when the race was over! We don’t
need to take this chilly thing too far. Several participants
commented on the medals in the shape of a chilli – nice
touch! Just how many people actually ate chilli at the end
is still undetermined! You can take the chilli thing too far,
too! Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic race, you
all looked strong!
Look out National
Capital! |

Tip!
Do your toes tingle when you walk? If so, your metatarsal
arch may be falling and pinching the nerves leading out to your
toes. Your metatarsal arch goes across the ball of your foot
– yes, there is an arch there! Relief from this sensation
can be found at your nearest pharmacy in the form of a metatarsal
arch support …usually around $10. Just stick it on the
insoles of your running shoes. |

New
courses!
Yes…it’s
that time for all hibernating walkers to crawl out from under
the blankies, give up the remote and head outside! New courses
are now online at www.wowpowerwalking.com.
You’ll find some new locations and some new coaches. We’re
all psyched and excited to get everyone out walking and training
for some of the great spring and fall events. Remember! You
don't have to be training for an event to get a lot out of the
WoW courses. We want you to achieve your fitness goals, we want
you to have fun in a supportive environment, and we want you
to take home information that will improve the quality of your
life. |

Coffee
and muffins anyone? Do
we dare?? Would we be tempting fate to hold
a coffee and muffin walk on Sunday, March 23? Every Sunday for
possibly the last 10 weeks we have experienced a blizzard or
record-setting temperatures. What the heck! It would be nice
to see everyone and, technically, it should be spring! According
to my notes, people training for the full marathon in Ottawa
should be walking 36 km that day, people training for the half
should be walking 14 km, so I will have routes mapped out for
those distances, and a 5 km route for any friends who may want
to see what we’re all about. This time we’ll start
at the park at the base of the Bronte Bluffs. If you want to
come, email Lee to RSVP
and get the details.
