See the video below where Val jumps 30″ and Kathy makes 36″.  Unfortunately, we didn’t get Steve on video for his 41″ jump, but we will next time…it’s awesome.

GO MIKE!!  He does 3 muscle-ups, a very nice back-lever, 50+ double-unders, and a 34″ box jump, which unfortunately was not captured on this video.  See Mike’s new PR’s below in his “50th” birthday video.

Tuesday, September 22 at 5:30 PM we will be at Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill in Seattle for a barefoot running clinic given by “Barefoot Ted.”  (regular classes for that evening are canceled)  If you have read “Born to Run” this is the same guy that is mentioned in the book.  The clinic will focus on how to get started, some technique coaching and how to self diagnose for continued improvement.  He normally keeps this clinic to no more than 5 people.  However, he will make an exception for us and allow a few more people in.  Just a few though as we have to get the clinic in before the sun sets.  So, if you are interested, let Kathy or I know right away.  First come, first served.  The cost is $30 per person and you’ll give that to Ted.

The website also has directions if you need them as well as a wealth of information about barefoot running.

Everyone will challenge their previous time for the baseline fitness test during the week of October 5th.  We will have everyone’s previous test times available for comparison.  If for some reason you have never done the baseline fitness test then this will be the week to do it.  We will be looking for most improved and best overall time completed.
