Improvise as needed



Improvise as needed

Things don’t always go as planned.  After getting word that PAX needed to switch dates on the Q schedule, then realizing there would be another scheduling conflict, YHC decided as site Q to take the lead in the gloom. Original plan was to divide the workout up into 15 minute segments with a different PAX at the helm.  After the first segment went over 15 minutes and words of encouragement from Funny Farm, YHC decided to keep the whole Q (with recommendations from others along the way).

The Valley EC Loop

0515 start, 1 mile loop with YHC, Funny Farm, Becky, and McStuffins.

Warm-up

After a quick disclaimer of the above mentioned scheduling and improv situations, mosey from school bus parking lot to the front parking lot of the school.
