FRI, Nov 3

• Community Event: ZUMBA with Dottie
  8:15am • Whitney Community Center, Jackson
  • $5/pp
• Community Event: NORDIC WALKING with Ellen Chandler8am • Valley Cross Road Parking Lot, Jackson
  • Fridays – Intervals with poles (more like hill bounding)
  • Here is a video link (sorry for the various ads) that explains Nordic Walking and “Moosehoofing”.
  • This is a “meet up” type of activity, no charge.
  • Needed equipment: ski poles are better than trekking poles, but don’t let pole-specificity get in the way of joining.  I wear my “second best running shoes,” not the best because it can be wet and muddy; but light hikers work, too. Plus the usual sun and tick repellents.
