Stirring From New York


Hello everyone:

Just a little note here to say hello and to share with you that I completed the New York 5 Borough Bike Tour last Sunday May 3rd. I don't think my adventure will do much to add to the walking totals but I did complete 42 miles ( in the rain and wind) which included a trip across the 59th Street Bridgae as well as the Verazanno Narrows Bridge. This was fun to say the least. I hope you are all having a great time and walking regularly. I'm planning to start the Nameless Walkers North (even if it is a club of 1 for a while.) Mary said we can add my hours to the total. This will be good right?

To the right is a picture of me on the Staten Island Ferry leaving Tony's old stompin' grounds and heading back to Manhattan where I left my car.

Miss you all and hope you are enjoying the Spring Weather

Cathy and Cassidy from the 6:30 AM Weight Watcher Meeting have been added to the Nameless Walking Group's Distribution List. They are a very welcome addition to the group.

I have sent out The Nameless Walking Group of Brandon, FL Mileage Verification and Reporting Procedures. If you have any questions just e-mail me and I will be glad to help. If you walk during the week you should map your route and get it sanctioned so the mileage can count toward our goal of "2009 Miles in 2009". Some of the Nameless Walking Group Charter members are looking to map and walk some new routes in the Brandon area. When these routes and walking times are set we will let everybody know.

Bonnie F., Al, Deborah, Christine, Tony and Mary went to see "Waist Watchers" at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts this afternoon. It was a very cute musical. We all could empathize with the characters in the show. After the show we went to dinner at the new Rock N Pinapple Restaurant in Brandon. We all had a great meal and a wonderful time together today.


There is still time to sign up for the Weight Watchers Walk-it Challenge. Deborah will be adding anyone who wants to join us to the Team roster. The Nameless Walking Group of Brandon is going to participate in the Walk-It Challenge Tampa Walk on July 19th. You can sigh-up at Active.com to do the "Run to the Horizon", even if you are not an active Weight Watcher member.
