BURLINGTON, ON
Some people worked during the long weekend – the Food Bank crowd certainly did.
Parents looked for interesting things to do with their children who had difficulty understanding and asking “why not?”
Ashley Worobec, part of the Coping with COVID19 and the kids team, reports on how things are working out in her household where two children get their education by computer.
Worobec is a chiropractor at the Burlington Sports and Spine Clinic, and an avid runner; she has competed in a number of major marathons.
As she was getting ready to settle into the long weekend she heard of an Ultra 24-hour endurance test:
Six people ran 8km in our own neighborhoods, every four hours, starting at 7pm Friday night. So that was 7pm, 11pm, 3am, 7am, 11am, and 3pm for a cumulative total of 48km in 24 hours.
Sara MacDonald, Mabel Watt, Lily Rendulic, Katherine Wood, Ashley Worobec and Kathryn Mercanti.
The six – Sara MacDonald, Mabel Watt, Lily Rendulic, Katherine Wood, myself, and Kathryn Mercanti. The women were known locally as “Mums Who Run”. Worobec wasn’t part of the group but an opportunity to get out and run was something she couldn’t resist.
Everyone completed the run. “What an experience!” exclaimed Worobec.
Well done ladies!
