Hi Katie,

Thanks for the message. I sent out via email the minutes from the meeting, just want to make sure you got a copy. They were also circulated to the Council & the PCT - Primary Care Trust or NHS

The cold / flu has taken a few people out and are in recovery at the mo.

See you on Saturday :-) We are now up to 3 mothers and babes.....and dads.

Best,

McCabe

G'day all,

Good turn out today, apologies from a number of others. In Melbourne Auz, it has been raining like buckets!

Put this in your diary: Monday 18th Oct, 7-30pm - East Dulwich Tavern.

As well as the 5Km, we will scope out a 10Km event and a 20Km (1/2 marathon) for E'Dulwich. To be specific, these are about raising awareness for a health charity, don't worry about you PB (Personal Best), this is about working as a team to get you to each level!

Best,

McCabe

Hi Katie,

Yes, arrive for 9-50 to 9-55am. Always work on the basis that its going to rain, that way when it doesn't its a bonus!

Anna & her husband come along with their 3-wheeler, and there is another lady & I think husband starting this Sat with their 3-wheeler too!:))

Best,

McCabe.

Hibbs,

Yes, the road is the mode we take. BTW, are the spiders on the web now?

:-)

McCabe

Hibbs!

You are a famous person....:-) Some of the group knew you last week. Have you got a bike, we have a cycle ride on Sunday as well!

Best,

McCabe

G'day all!

The weather looks great for tomorrow! This will be another easy session with a coffee at the end - and a bit of Chi Gong.

Minitoots, email received. Mazza, will see you on the 16th. Katie Lou, see you tomorrow - the group is really easy going, powerwalk, jog or a bit of both!

Best,

McCabe

G'day Katie,

No worries, this group converted 3 powerwalkers to joggers on Saturday within 15-mins. Ian, Suzzie & Verona were taught the 10% jog, its the same speed as powerwalking, but you burn more calories. If you feel tired, you just drop back down to p/w for 100m and then pick it back up again.

Steve & Annie come along with their buggy, so it would be good for you to come along and bring some others from the NCT too. The next few sessions are about team building at an easy pace, so even when you start you will be welcomed into a group of like minded individuals..... doing it easy and progressing.

On warm / sunny days we finish off with Chi Gong (Tai Chi) for 5-mins, this is to bring your breathing back to normal, and to help eccentrically relax your muscles! I think the group like this on Saturday - actually, I know they did :-)

We have a social meet on Monday 18th October in the East Dul Tavern at 7-30pm, this is about mapping out the Christmas 5Km.

All the best,

McCabe

Look forward to seeing you there.

I've already mapped out the 5Km for Chrismas +/- a 100m or so.

I'll be at the Rye Caf? for c.9-50am on Sat.

McCabe

Hi to Minitoots, Katie & .... DJ KQ.

All the groups across London are FREE, and have powerwalkers & joggers in. The groups are about working as a team no matter your ability, some bring their pushchairs (with the baby in of course), some bring their dog on a lead, some have diabetes / asthma, fibromyalgia .... and one guy had MS, it just works by following a specific routine. We have just completed a 5Km in Dulwich Park for Sickle Cell, it was free to join and great fun! If the numbers reach 15, then we will set a 5Km in Peckham Rye - it could be called the Chrismas 5Km for a health charity!

We have a health form on the website to fill in (copy it and past it into your email - thats the usual way). The groups are focused on what one would ordinarily do on thier own, so there is no need to feel left out - the minimum speed is powerwalking (ie not a stroll). Likewise, I encourage the faster ones to work together to develop.

Who attends? Everyone from every background, and also doctors, nurses, physio's too. In Twickenham, when counting for stretching, we count in French, Russian, Italian, Hindi, Afghan, Spanish, Aussie & kiwi, German and sometimes in English too.

Just bring some change for 2 coffee's at the end in the caf?, one for you and the other for...me.

Well, I think I have now reached 10 people, so if you guys send in a health form then the starting date should be set ASAP, and I think Saturday 2nd October works well.

Best,

McCabe

G'day Verona!

No need to reregister, thats fine. This has just been posted and now up to 4 so far, once we reach the magic 8 then the start date will be set.

On Sundays you also have a choice of activities..... Everyother Sunday there is a cycle group that has just started and meets for 9am at Goose Green. The general destinations are on the ED Forum, and its not a racing team.

Dulwich Park: AHM has a special licence with S'wark and provide an hours worth of CV & Toning, this is a ?5 pay as you go... no membership or block booking needed. This is run by Julia, and very infrequently me if she is running marathons, or 10Km's

All the best,

McCabe
