On a pleasant Monday evening Larry, Brenda, Glenn, Kevin, Liane, Flora and her friend Song Kook walked along the Stoney Creek trail. Larry did about 2 km, while the group walked to North Road. Speedsters Brenda and Liane walked up North Road to Chapman and returned, their distance 5 km and time about 50 minutes. Glenn and Kevin were just behind them, their time about 1 hour, and Flora and Song Kook walked to North Road and returned, their distance 4 km and their time 1h15.
From Jennel: On Monday morning Jennel did the Coquitlam crunch with her two dogs, close to 9 km. Along the way a passerby told her there were some mule deer near the trail, but Jennel didn’t see any. On Tuesday evening both Jennel and Heather did the crunch but must have been going in different directions as they didn’t see each other – oh well, 9 km distance. Then on Wednesday morning Jennel and dogs walked around the block, then Jennel walked down the crunch to BMO in Port Moody – 9 km distance but felt like 40 km in the sun and heat!

There was no walk on Saturday due to the heavy rain, which was heavy around my place early in the morning, then tapered off. So unpredictable!
