Change and Challenge

This is the week….the week that the FALL ACTIVITY GUIDE unveils PAC’s many offerings for the upcoming season.  Registration is open for programs about to launch, and Jr. Wrangler Football and CHEER have already begun…

With Labor Day weekend plans on everyone's mind, PAC is wrapping up the last hours of summer. Fall hours begin Tuesday, Sept. 3^rd…allowing access to PAC sixteen hours a day, Monday – Friday.

Summer recess becomes a memory.  Carefree days, when the warmth of the sun touching bare skin are numbered.  As the nights get colder and a hint of leaf color teases our senses, we prepare ourselves for what’s to come…admittedly, a bit reluctantly…

But then, who doesn’t love fall?   Even with our wistful reluctance to lose the warm intensity of a great summer….the shorts, sandals and late evening walks; not to mention those times with friends around the campfire that stretched into the wee hours, there is something more that calls us…the exhileration of a season’s change! 

We are creatures seeking constant change (as much as we complain about it!) and very much bolstered and invigorated by the allure of the unknown, something different, challenging and yet to master…  Easily bored, we are always looking for something new...

PAC embodies this spirit of change and challenge and is ready to embrace a new season.  Outside, as the days get shorter and cooler, PAC is open for longer and offers more classes, programs and events for the whole family.  We’re accommodating the early birds, noon lunch break exercisers, after school kids, and evening fun and fitness for all ages.

Check the website, PAC FACEBOOK page and ACTIVITY GUIDE for the “new” classes, titles and times, that will excite you and motivate you to set some new personal fitness goals.  Admission to PAC is FREE if you’re attending a fitness class Sept. 3^rd – 13^th.  Don’t miss this chance to try everything! 

A very specific goal for ramping up your fun/fitness quotient could be the IRONMAN CHALLENGE, that runs November 4^th - January 17^th.  For this one, you will need to swim 2.6 miles, bike 112 miles and run/walk 26.2 miles.  By mastering the IRONMAN, you’ll be in good shape for the annual PINEDALE INDOOR TRIATHLON on January 18^th. 

And to be sure you don’t cave in to the ‘peer pressure’ of the holidays, we have the HOLIDAY FITNESS CHALLENGE from November 25^th to December 28^th.  With your holiday “passport,” you’ll attend each fitness class PAC offers and qualify to enter the drawing for a pass and other fun PAC prizes.

But, most importantly, you will be enjoying the benefits of setting and reaching a personal wellness goal...and ready to start another...

By nature, we crave change and challenge.  Despite the temptation to settle for inertia, we cannot resist what might happen if we do!  PAC invites you...yes, CHALLENGES you to step out and enjoy the change that you create for yourself.

 

And that’s what makes my job so much fun.  Along with the PAC Staff, I get to entice you to get moving and to recognize the physical and social benefits of doing so. 

 

As your alarm clock rings Tuesday after Labor Day---be sure that first day of the fall season includes your first step of conquering the challenge you have accepted. 

 

PAC is here for just that purpose.  Change and Challenge?  We have plenty of both!

 

Let us help you make life better---

PAC---making a difference in your community!
