WOW! Track Workout in Piedmont January 20, Continuing Every Wednesday, scheduled to occur on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 6:30 PM has been canceled. Please update your plans accordingly. Dear WOW Ladies, With the Piedmont Track flooded and rain and wind to continue through the evening I am canceling tonight's track workout. I never like to cancel our workouts and am not intimidated by a bit of rain. Using the adage "discretion is the better part of valor" in this instance I bow down to the Weather Gods. For any of you who can make it to tomorrow night's workout at Las Lomas, that is one alternative. You can also move inside to a gym and do the workout on a treadmill. Ask for help if you're not sure how to modify the settings on the treadmill. The workout itself is loaded on our website at http://gowowteam.com/track-workout If you have further questions, you can email me through CoachStephanie@gowowteam.com. Plans are on for the rest of the week. Sorry about tonight... Best, Coach Stephanie
