Wednesday Workouts! Coach Owens has added a Facebook group to update members on speed workouts. Join the group to get in on the conversations. If you're not on Facebook, no worries! The speed workout is posted weekly on the website. As a reminder, "speed" is relative to you! You do not have to be speedy to get a workout, and you won't feel left behind. The track is a great place to push yourself with others and have fun while you are doing it. Come join us! >> srrc.net/speedwork | | |
