Thursday - on your own for 2 weeks now!

I am going to posts tonight's workout for you to use in the event I don't make it back into town. My flight out of Chicago was canceled yesterday and I am supposed to be making it back this afternoon........hopefully.

I hate to not be there tonight. As you are aware it is my last session with you for the next 2 weeks as Em and I are going to NZ. I will post workouts on here for you over that period. Hopefully you will feel compelled to organize and work together to get these sessions done! Feel free to grab the dry erase board and write the programs up. The guards will make sure you have the 2-lane pool space that is allocated. You are also free to get together and bang out some cycling sessions up stairs on Thursday nights also.
