HILL REPEATS meet at Church parking lot, Tenn. Valley.
(we will do Marincello area another time with drier weather)...After the workout I'm having my Dad meet Dr. Elmo at Dipsea Cafe (he's giving him a "reindeer" he made out of wood); so any of you who can make it for coffee and snack-please join us.

SATURDAY. 7:30 am.
HILL REPEATS but at NEW LOCATION (only thru March apparently) because the hill has a gate across it because they are building huge water tanks for recycled water. So we need to move! So go left at entrance to McGinnis Park, then 1/4 mile later take first road/driveway to right, park and you're at base of hill (n. side of soccer field). I'm re-designing the workout, but count on Kettlebell workout and exercises to be added into the mix. This combination will build muscle endurance in the legs.
3 X Long hill
(1 x 12 Box Jumps)
3 X half hill
(1 X 12 Burpees)
3 X Sprint Hill
1 X 12 Squat Push Press)
3 X Half Hill
(1 X 15 KB Swings)
3 X Long Hill
(Mtn Climbers 1 X 12)

They (so far: Kevin, Gayle S, Linda L, Dave C) are starting early because they need to get back to family and Kevin to working a show...It will be cold, so bring gloves, headband, tights; but nice cold and clear out there.
