“Research consistently shows that tougher individuals are able to perceive stressful situations as challenges instead of threats. A challenge is something that’s difficult, but manageable. On the other hand, a threat is something we’re just trying to survive, to get through. This difference in appraisals isn’t because of an unshakable confidence or because tougher individuals downplay the difficulty. Rather, those who can see situations as a challenge developed the ability to quickly and accurately assess the situation and their ability to cope with it.”

Gym Update
We have water!
I will turn memberships back on and remove all holds this coming Monday, October 21. We will probably not have the rubber floors done (as I write this, we’re still working to save the old ones to have to keep from buying new ones, but may just have to buy a new floor. Saving money on the floors will allow us to spend money on bikes, barbells, other gear we need). I feel good about where the gym will be by the end of this week to go back to charging members. If you want to request a longer hold after that date, please let me know.
Community Workday #2: The next opportunity for folks to help out will be this coming Saturday, October 19. We’ll work for one hour after the 9:30 community wod. So, 9:30 workout. 10:30-11:30 work session. Hard stop at 11:30 for those that want to help out. This will be basic cleaning, clearing brush, maybe lots of floor work (gloves, boots, grungy clothes needed).
No classes Thursday at Pisgah.
Friday Class Schedule
7:30 AM and 4:30 PM
Saturday 9:30AM Community WOD
Please RSVP on Zen Planner (if you’ve requested your membership hold to be removed, you can do this)
