Hi Folks,
Dear friends, Thank you very much for your generous gift to Sandy and I today after the Saturday workout! Very touching and will mean I can get you heavier weights! (just kidding). It’s wonderful for Sandy and I to have such a close community over the years – it’s a remarkable testament to the members of the workout group for sticking to the outdoor training for so many years. I still see Hunter doing DB Plank Rows at our Northgate location at age 5! May we all keep each other going. Thank you again!
