Mission Beach Aquatic Center (map)
Susan G. had a lovely suggestion which I have always enjoyed too. We can meet at the parking lot of the Mission Beach Aquatic Center starting at 8:30am and walk either on the bay or beach side to south mission returning north to Crystal Pier and back on either the bay or beach. Total distance is approximately 5 miles. Those that would like to go to breakfast afterwards may do so at a place that Susan or other's might suggest. I will be doing the walk but will probably not be able to do the breakfast. Hope to see you all there to enjoy the fresh ocean air!
Yes, Brenda, can you lead this? I'm not an Organizer/Asst.
You know, we could do the walk from the Aquatic Center and end it by eating Brunch-y at the Olive Cafe'. I work in Mission Beach and love that little place!
Suzanne, If you would like to become an assistant organizer send me an e-mail and I'll be happy to add you.
I have a conflict that day but if it works for me, I might make the walk.
Looking forward to seeing all you lovely ladies this upcoming Sat am. at 8:30am. Don't forget to bring a bottle of water and or hat and sunscreen and dress in layers as the weather may be just gorgeous!
I stubbed my toe this morning and it's swollen and painful. Hopefully it would be better enough tomorrow to wear my walking shoes for the entire 5-mile walk. Good or bad, however, I will be there even if I have to walk a little slower than you guys. I also would like to join you for breakfast. See you then.
I updated..my RSVP to NOT likely due to the fact that I injured my knee Monday.. Deal is I still WANT to be there.. so if for some reason I can ignore the pain I will show up..Otherwise "next time".... there will have to be more walks.. !!
Sorry can't seem to find parking. So I may not make it. Have a good walk and maybe next time. Maybe next time we could start at the roller coaster for more parking options
My toe is not much better this morning, so I'm going to sit this one out. Bummer. Have a great walk, ladies.
I was a bit surprised that only 6 of us showed up...and that was TWO people that were not signed up. Brenda was Wonderful.... she gave us a great workout.... Maybe it would be better to meet though for Bay walks at Belmont Park.... as there is so MUCH more parking... Guess we can know this for future reference... I was there 8:15 and did find parking lot full...but some random car pulled out... also I do know of various places to park since I live right by here....Anyway THANKS Brenda....
Another idea is to start from the Aquatic Center parking lot and walk on the bayside down to the Mission Beach Roller Coaster area and then go north on the beach side to the Pier and return the rest of the way on the bay side after PB drive. Just a thought if you wanted to be near the beach but do something slightly different. I am happy to help you lead if you want.
