Better than yesterday

I got a package yesterday. It was from two of my favorite out of town visitors, Katie and Jason Jenkins. The package contained a tee shirt and a lovely note. Boldly printed on the front of this really nicely fitting and great maroon colored tee shirt is the phrase "better than yesterday".

What a great motto, mission statement, and philosophy! You don't have to be a superstar today. You just need to be better than yesterday, even if only by a micron. Imagine the cumulative effect of being better than yesterday over a decade!

Speaking of being better than yesterday....
Our lifestyle challenge ends today. Renee and Karen Linder are tied for first place, and George is in stricking distance. It will come down to weight loss and performance on the two benchmark workouts!

Hurricane Sandy hasn't done us any damage yet, the gym is open. Katie and Jason (live on the coast in New Hampshire) may be flooded and without power, so send a prayer!

The pull up bars are back in..

Minus one, and I redecorated. My "office" is now in the warm spot of the room, and the dumbbells and kettlebells are easy to access!

 
In case you haven't heard, Casey Mehlenbacher got his Crossfit Level 1 Certification! So proud of him!
He is going to be hanging around, helping you improve your form. Also, at some point in the future he will be offering a Fundamentals class. If you have always wanted to try Crossfit, but were a little intimidated, this is the way to go! More info to follow!

Practical Strength for Trainers and a request


We hosted a Training Seminar this past weekend for Trainers. Lots of great information and some quality play time. There is also rumor of a Highland-ish Game event this summer in Geneseo. We had a blast trying out those throws!

The request:
We have two members who have to ride their bikes to get here for a workout. It is starting to get very cold and also very dark. Let's see if we can work out a transportation schedule for Vythand and Brandon! Who has the flexibility to stop at the college on the way here?
