Hi Folks,
UPDATE Friday, 2:50 PM: There will be a SATURDAY, 9 AM CIRCUIT workout at Warren’s for 8 members: Robert, Judi, Tricia, Peter, Alyce, Judi, Elizabeth, Tom, Lisa. If parking looks tight with residential parking, use Jury parking lot right across from Warren’s and use gate/side path to Madison Av and walk 100 yds to Warren’s.
UPDATE Thursday, 12/8/22: Regarding possible Saturday alternative workout at Warren’s gym (48 Madison Av, San Rafael) just two blocks from the Civic Center. We hold our Wed workouts there and we can do eight people indoors at a time if it is raining.(we usually do 2-3 stations out in front of the garage/gym if it’s clear). It will be raining, so I will offer a 9 AM session with 6 or 8 people; then another one at 10 AM. This avoids overcrowding and keeps the workout safe for everyone. I will need your response if interested in attending and flexible to do either the 9 AM or 10 AM sessions. So text me by Friday before noon if you want to participate so I have a head count; it may turn out we have only 8 or fewer who can make it. I can always have the 10 AM session with four, five, or six participants; if there are 12 I’d do six at 9 AM, six at 10 AM…I will update on Friday. (I will be missing the Netherlands vs Argentina match, but it will be taped!)…
UPDATE 12/6/22: Get in your Swings today: It’s a rainy overcast morning; if you are skipping a run or ride: get in your Swings! Support the other members of the workout groups by getting in your reps today; you know they are getting in theirs.
