May 6, 2008: Summer workout registration information now appears below, and the registration form is now linked to the opening page of this site. Summer workouts will start as soon as the bubble is down. Winter/spring workouts end on May 11th (Sunday). We will be continuing to have mid-day workouts after the bubble is down, 1-2pm M, W, F, and until school is out. These workouts are open to anyone who is registered for summer workouts, instead of or in addition to the workouts you registered for. However, you must be registered for summer workouts to participate once the bubble is down.
