WOW 12/25-1/1/13

Happy Christmas Fits! And a Merry New Year!

Wednesday 12/26: @ 9 a.m. Silver Springs mountain bike ride. Bring your running stuff for 1 mile. We'll meet at the upper west parking lot. Remember, ssssshhhhhh this is a pirate ride! If the trails are too wet we'll bail on the ride. We want to be good trail ambassadors and not shred things up!

Thursday 12/27: @ 6:30 p.m. meet at Cobblestones for a go go and a coffee. We'll run 3-6 miles. Please wear light or reflective clothing and bring a flashlight or headlamp. 

Tuesday 1/1/13: At Mike P's Hoover FP getaway. Bring in the New Year on the right foot, or pedal in our case. @ 9.m. for an indoor bike and run to follow. We'll make up for the fact that we bailed on our Christmas Eve sweatastic session! 

Cheers,

Hi Fits!
Sending out the WOW a bit behind. Al and I got back into town from Maui late or I guess you could call it early Halloween and spent most of the yesterday trying to recover from jetlag and lack of sleep!
As most of us are now into our "off season" I'm going to limit the group workouts so much of your training will be on your own until the first of the year. Below are the scheduled group workouts at a recreational level!
Monday 11/5: @ 11 a.m. Mountain bike @ See Wa Kee
Thursday 11/8: @ 9:30 a.m. Mountain bike @ Palos
Sunday 11/11: @ 9 a.m. run @ Silver Springs meet at the boat launch plan on 16-18 mi (getting ready for Tecumseh)
Cheers,
Special K
