Needless to say, my boyfriend began to have that look of a man who is not with the girl he first met any longer.Bewildered, mostly, and maybe a little scared.Heaving myself up out of the bon-bon wrapper pile, I waddled to the entryway to retrieve my running shoes.I apologized to the family of daddy-longlegs that had taken up residence inside, assuring them a few good weeks in the garden before the frost really set in.As I leaned over to pull on the dusty espadrilles, the button on my jeans flew off and chipped the front teeth off of my priceless smiling statuette of Entertainment Tonight icon Mary Hart.I was really going to have to make this walk worth it - \u201cMary, I\u2019ll get the glue gun out later,\u201d I promised, patting the rather redneck looking former TV hostess on her little porcelain head.Child-free for the day, I drove into town and hit the trail to the beach, and then out to Trestle Cove (yes, that\u2019s the real name).Walking solo though, I wondered how I would manage with just my rambling thoughts for company.Talking to myself didn\u2019t seem to do the trick, but the familiarity of the pace came back like riding a bike.By the time I marched myself down to the picturesque posts where the train bridge once stood, and back, the \u201cbike\u201d was \u201criding\u201d began to feel a little more like those giant tricycles of old with the gigantic front tire, as I wove back and forth dizzy on the autumnal air, greeting only the dogs I met and not their owners, since I was on all fours.Really though.In the last three weeks, I\u2019ve finally gotten myself out there again.I\u2019ve walked about five kilometres at least every two days.I\u2019ve gone it alone on a few occasions, with my eldest every day that he has been with me, and my youngest on a few occasions as well, a few times with both.Their company has been a different kind of therapeutic, and is always memorable.We always spot wildlife, from deer slowly making their way across the trail ahead of us, to herons, surprised and taking off, all angles and elbows, like the pterodactyls of 2016.I even persuaded ye olde boyfriende to take to the trail, although with a very physical job the workout wasn\u2019t quite the same kind of beneficial for him as for me.I even discovered Les Amis des Sen-tiers, a local group with a Saturday walking schedule - every week! With membership just $25.00 for the first person and $5.00 for each additional family member, it\u2019s about the most reasonable activity we can look forward to together, and they go out year-round.This coming Saturday we\u2019ll make our début with the group, and I look forward to discovering new Townships trails.If you\u2019ve fallen out of sync with an exercise regimen, or lost a work-out partner, I feel your pain.but try getting out there again, it\u2019s worth it.Fake I.D leads to man\u2019s arrest Record Staff Sherbrooke Police arrested a passenger in a vehicle Friday night after he gave a false identity to police.Unfortunately for him, the fake name was that of a young man wanted on a warrant.The suspect is 26 years old and has seven arrest warrants against is true identity.When arrested, the police found a fair amount of cannabis on his person.The suspect was detained until his appearance in Sherbrooke Monday to face charges of possession of a narcotic and obstruction of justice.Ben by Daniel Shelton WHAT press/j'AVW Printed and distributed by PressReader £f\u201e HOIST THt :'PO UY\" 10-4 Grizwells 'MUAT\u20187 'fiEpHG, / ), -,im> poppy )Æ ft uu MY 41LTEAT Til To KEEP TUENUHTUAT FAUUY PACK I6AVE FT' MR mww m Soup to Nuts ©2016 Rick Stromoski Dist.by UniversalUciick Email: soup2nutz@cox.net VoDRe ADDlCTeD To mar Ga Me 3 I C6n
