Snow Updates for Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Here I type you wishing I could create a path that is easily accessable for everyone to get to class. A path that wouldn't need snow shoveling or require chains, that was quick and easy to go on with a stroller and had a coffee stand at the end to warm you up after your workout (and after you had all your H2O of course). BUT, I don't and the Cities of Portland and Beaverton don't either.

The GREAT news is there IS Tuesday, December 23rd, 9:15 am LLOYD CENTER MALL CLASS!!!! I will arrive at 8:50 am if anyone wants an additional cardio blast before class. Today, Liza, Elisa and I had the Mall to ourselves. It was an open gym for us, and not many people were there. Elisa took the bus, and said it was great to get out of the house and workout. Hopefully that might help motivate some of you to know it is doable. It may not be the norm or comfort of what you are used to, but we all agreed we felt incredible after.

The BUM news is Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation and Immanuel Lutheran Church facilities are closed Tuesday, so there won't be 9:00 am or 10:0 am THPRD classes, or 9:30 am ILC class.

But HOLIDAY FUN FOR YOU- Jack and I decided why not have a festive and memorable Snow Family Class, December 24th - Christmas Eve, at Grant Park! Class starts at 10:00 am and come dressed in your layers and kiddos in snow clothes. We'll do relays, cardio snow blasts, sled pulling, etc. Bring your joggers and sleds (if you have one), and be ready to have a great time. We'll be meeting at the Grant High School Track, just inside the corner of NE 33rd & US Grant Place.

I wish our conditions before Holiday Break were different, and we could truly workout together instead of many working out independently in our living rooms to the various workouts we've given you. Thanks for making the best of it and I look forward to seeing you either tomorrow or in 2009!!!

Remember to mark your calendar for the first workout of the year on January 1st, 2009! 9:30 am, Lloyd Center Mall, with celebration after of mimosas and muffins. Snow Day storytime follows at Barnes & Noble, 11:00 am.

My best to you and your families-
