Rest or…

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

It’s a time of year to reflect on what has passed, and what is on the horizon.

If you are so inspired, fear this, or just have fun.  The sledding is fast, the sun is bright, the skiing looks good, and the ice climbing is superb.  The temps are to be in the 20′s today.  Go get some.

Looking ahead to early next year, we will be having a nutrition challenge for anyone who is interested.  We are finalizing our plans and will roll out the details at a gathering after the first of the year.  Stay tuned and start thinking about getting on board.

We have had many successes during the year and are looking forward to many more.  See you all tomorrow at 9 a.m.

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays!  Make today an adventure of fun and food.  If you are going sledding…go fast…and stay on your sled.

It’s the holiday season.  With family and friends in town, snow on the way, we all have plenty of other things calling for our attention.  Our hard work continues at the gym.
