Geez! It’s almost nearly the 4th.

We’re gonna close Saturday the 2nd. I think attendance will be nearly zero, and it’ll give all your coaches a nice break. Remember when I was all fired up about offering 292 workouts to you guys this year? I’m still fired up, I’ve missed plenty myself, as most of us have, but this Saturday was accounted for in that original 292, and I just counted, there’s 143 workouts left this year. That’s about half. Dang. What a year it’s been huh?

Updates: Grace for Distance is going to be Saturday the 16th, at Richmond Beach Park 10:30am!

Parade Info! We’re gonna meet up at the Edmonds Gym in the morning to put the rig together and get all patriotic. As far as what to wear: RED WHITE AND BLUE! I know I know, I like totally dropped the ball and should have ordered shirts and all that stuff, I only learned about the parade June 10th, and I’ve since secured a trailer, banners and magnet signage for the Jeep, potentially a PA system as well. Mountains have been moved as per usual.

The parade starts at noon sharp, which means that 11:45am is the final muster time, and registration for yours truly is 9:30am! That also means that parking is going to be insane. Plan ahead, and we’ll save parking at Turn It Loose for our peeps, but there’ll still be a limit there for sure.

Below below, I’ll post the instructions given to me for you guys to check out.
