UPDATE--Spring 2020 Nordic Walking Classes

Hi everyone:

I’m sorry to say that the spring session of classes won’t be running after all. Things continue to change very quickly, as I’m sure you know.

When I sent my last email, COVID-19 experts were encouraging us to exercise and get outdoors as long as we kept a social distance. Now, the message is a much stronger “stay home,” and “exercise close to home.…walk around your block.”

I know that you will find safe and creative ways to keep moving. Many yoga studios and clubs are offering free online workouts.

If you are having trouble finding something that is a good fit for you, please let me know and I will do my best to help you with some links. Choose wisely as some offerings are better than ever.

My daughter (pictured above) and I are hunkered down at home as I’m sure you are. I have finished a painting project (email me if you want to know about painting upholstery with chalk paint ...sounds odd but YouTube has helped me transform a formerly ugly chair), we are working on a large puzzle, my daughter has taken up embroidery!, cupboards and files are being organized, etc. We’re doing our best to stay busy!

I know that several of you work in the service industry and even more of you in the healthcare system. On behalf of all of us, thank you for your tireless work and efforts to keep us all healthy!

On a lighter note, if you’re tired of singing the birthday song twice while handwashing, here is a fun and very Canadian alternative (another goal I’ve set for myself: memorizing this song!).

I hope to see you and Nordic walk with you all again very soon!
