Forward Rolls are gymnastics 101. We regularly incorporate them into our warm-ups for dynamic movement prep. Great work Jessica and Cloyde!
Saturday is the CFSBK 5k in Prospect Park.
The run will start at 10am sharp. We will meet at 9:45am at the Grand Army Plaza entrance and walk to the run start at West Drive were we will warm up. The course is a full counter clock wise loop of the park ending at the Grand Army Plaza entrance. You are encouraged to bring a stop watch to record your own time. If you don't have a stop watch try to borrow one from the gym. After the run a number of us will partake in some delectable Milk Thistle which will be conveniently located at the finish along with the rest of the farmers market.
If you'd like to run the 5K please post to comments.
