Saw Julie leaving as we were getting to the parkway on Saturday morning, so her perfect attendance is still intact. It was a beautiful morning for a walk. The weather was cooler than it has been. We thought maybe the cooler weather would bring back some of our members we have not seen for a while, but that was not the case. We did have Martha, Judy's sister, and Rodney, Martha's husband joined us. Marie started out with us and had to stop after we got to the parking lot ramps because her leg is still giving her problems. Hopefully Marie's Doctor will have the test results back this week and she start getting treatment for her problem. Christine was able to join us. She was going into work a little later on Saturday. Five of use went to the SR 60 Family Restaurant for breakfast after we walked. It had a buffet that was very limited in the items available. Tony's favorite after walk restaurant is still Golden Coral, because it has a wide verity of good foods and it is very reasonably priced.

We will be walking at the mall on Wednesdays for a while.The weather in the evenings is still in the 80's and would be pretty warm for walking. On October 1st, Bonnie F., Tony and I will be walking in the afternoon. We will not be at the mall in the evening to walk. We are going to a Financial Seminar on "The Current Economic Outlook" given by Merrill Lynch.

Saturday, October 4th is the Race for the Cure in St. Pete. There are 14 on our Team. If you walk on the Brandon Parkway Trail on Saturday, October 4th, please send an e-mail with your distance information. I will send out separate e-mails on Race for the Cure Information.

Julie did her usual walk to keep that Perfect Attendance Record in tact. We are very proud of her and when the weather gets cooler she be starting her walk later, so she can see the group before she leaves the trail. Marie is still having problems with her leg and isn't walking with us. She has more medical tests next week. Pam is still doing training for the Susan G. Komen 3-day Walk. Those of us that are going to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in St. Pete on October 4th will get to see here and her family at that event. We do miss her and it great to see her in October. She will be walking with us again sometime in November. She is an inspiration to all of the Nameless Walking Group members. Deborah is in Chicago at her High School class reunion this weekend. Liane is in Orlando visiting University of Central Florida with he youngest daughter. It seems hard to believe that Liane has children old enough to go to college. Gary is in Long Island New York this weekend. Bo said he had talked to him and said that Gary maybe in Florida for the weekend very soon. It would be great if he could walk with us. We sure to miss Gary. We also miss seeing Cindy. Hopefully one of these Saturday mornings she will pull up in her SUV and her gang will get out and little Timothy will get his first ride on the Trail. Susan will not be doing the Race for the Cure. Her parents will be visiting for Ohio that weekend. After today's walk, Bonnie F.'s husband Al, joined the two Bonnies, Tony and myself at Mimi's Cafe for a healthy breakfast. Next week we are planning to go to a new restaurant that is where the Pizza Hut used to be on Brandon Blvd. Kathie says the name of the Restaurant is Apache Family Restaurant. I will put our restaurant review in next weeks Mileage Update.


With less than 200 Miles to go to get to our goal of "2008 Miles in 2008", we need to start thinking about our celebration for meeting our goal. So far all we have planned is that we are going to do have the event in Bonnie P's back yard.We have talked about a tailgate breakfast after a Saturday morning walk. " Betty the Banker" a.k.a. "Cash Cow" has over $100.00 in her to pay for this event. If you have ideas about the celebration that you want the group to consider, e-mail them to me.

We will be walking at the mall on Wednesday, September 24th, at the mall and the Brandon Parkway Trail on Saturday, September 27th, at 7:15 AM.

Mary, Tony, Bob, Deborah are back from vacations.Everybody had great trips. The after walk breakfast on Saturday was at the Latin Cafe on Bloomingdale Ave. Bonnie F."s daughter, Martica (Spanish for Martha) workers there and she waited on our table. The Cuban toast and cafe con leche, which translated from Spanish, literally means "coffee with milk" were great.

There is still time to sign up for the next Nameless Waking Group Charity walk. Deborah is our Team Captain for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday October 4th at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg. Deborah has sent out group e-mails with the information on how to sigh up. If you have questions or need help send me an e-mail.

Tony and I saw Joan yesterday in Riverview. She says she will be walking again when the weather cools off.

Bob says that Gary will be home at the end of September for visit. We hope he will have time to walk with us on Saturday morning, but will understand if he is busy with family.

We have less than 250 miles to go to get to "2008 Miles in 2008!". Our Race for the Cure in October will give our mileage a real boost. since we already have 14 people signed up and raised over $800.00.

We will be walking at the mall on Wednesday, September 17th, at around 2:00 PM and then again at 6:45 PM. We will also be at the Brandon Parkway Trail on Saturday morning at 7:15 AM.

Pam's First 3-Day Walk Journal Entry

Hi everyone,

I love this so much I already signed up for the Michigan walk for next year. I miss you all and will be glad to get back to the group in November. We are up to 18 miles now, the most we will do until the walk.

Here are a few observations I made along the way:

Mile 0 – people show up for the walk in all shapes sizes and fitness levels

Mile 3 – tall people have a great advantage walking their stride keeps them ¼ mile ahead of the rest

Mile 6 – you get why you spent the money for the dry-fit clothing; EVERY MOVING PART of you is wet or has a blister if not

Mile 9 – you know why $100 pair of shoes cost $100; and you are very happy you spent the money

Mile 12 – you can not judge a book by its cover; the outwardly overweight and elderly individuals are passing you by with ease

Mile 15 – every joint hurts and you can tell who took the Advil 10 miles ago

Mile 18 – YOU FINISHED! Now go home and get ready to do it again tomorrow, am I crazy or what?

See you all in October and thanks again for all your encouragement,

Pam

From Bonnie P.
Was a very, very small group this morning for the walk. Bonnie F. and Bonnie P. met Susan at the Parkway. Since Bonnie F. was leaving for Vero Beach today and had to get home to pack up supplies, clothes, etc., we all agreed to go as far as the roundabout. Of course, Bonnie P. never gets any farther than that anyway. Don't know if Julie was there earlier as Susan said Julie wasn't there when she arrived.

On Wednesday, September 3rd, Bonnie F. , Tony and myself walked 3 laps of the Mall in the afternoon. On the last lap we made our usual stop at the new Yogurt Store in the new wing. The frozen yogurt and toppings are very Weight Watcher friendly. at 5-10 calories per ounce you can get a nice portion for less than 2 points. In the evening Jennifer stopped by the Mall and picked up her and Christine's T-Shirts. Jennifer couldn't stay to walk but hopes by the end the month to walk with us on Wednesdays, when she will have her own transportation. Bob called at 6:40 PM he had just gotten home from work and couldn't walk with us. Bonnie P. Tony and I, decide we needed a break from walking and went to Panera Bread and had coffee and treats. We had a nice conversation about hurricanes, tornadoes and politics.

The usual Saturday walk at the Brandon Parkway Trail will start at 7:15 AM or very shortly there after depending on what time the Weight Watchers get to the trail. Tony and I will be in Upstate New York for my 40th High School Class Reunion. Tony and I will be back on Wednesday, September10th and hope to walk at the mall that day.
