Thanksgiving Newsletter, Part Deux

Good morning, guys. Hope you all had a great weekend. I know a lot of you are traveling this week back home to see family and friends, so we hope to see those folks before they head back. For those of you who are remaining in town we do have training options for you each day this week with the exception of Friday (which we’ll replace with a light post-Turkey Day hike).

Before we get into the details, let’s first recognize a great man and his mustache.

What is that, you ask?

That’s P360’s very own John Blackburn on the jumbotron of the Anaheim hockey game. He took 2nd place for best mustache in the building. High five both him and his ‘stache when you see him this week because I could not be more proud of him.

Thanksgiving Schedule

As a reminder, we have the following schedule this week,

Monday & Tuesday – regularly scheduled classes
Wednesday – 6:30 am DC, 7:15 am DC, 7:30 am OC, 12 pm DC
Thanksgiving – 9 am Thanksgiving Day Workout then closed
Friday – closed gym, group hike
Saturday – normal hours

For those of you interested in burning through the massive Thanksgiving Day food and alcohol coma we’ll be meeting at Torrey Pines parking lot at 11 am and going on a nice stroll up the cliffs. Nothing crazy, but enough exercise to get over that food/booze hangover on what looks to be a really nice day.

$100 Referral Standings

The standings are starting to heat up a little bit in the $100 U-Call-It Referral Contest we are running through the end of December.

Chris Cisek – 13 points
Matt Gordon – 12 points
Rick Dengler – 5 points
Laura Stomber – 1 point
Rachelle Rulenz – 1 point
Tyler Chernack – 1 point
Meghan Hanebutt – 1 point

Remember, you get 1 point if your friend tries the gym and another 5 points if they join so for those of you who are sitting on one point, get those friends to join and you’ll climb up the standings.

The winner gets $100 towards whatever they want. Gift card, membership dues, cash, etc. Your call.

Updated Yoga Class

As of now, the majority of feedback is that people would like Yoga for Athletes to be at 6/6:15 Thursday night rather than in the morning. We also heard come clamoring for Saturday but it would have to be overwhelming for that to happen.
