Fran

I was in Modesto this weekend and decided to visit their affiliate run by Mike and Denise Choate. I had emailed ahead of time to make sure it was ok to drop in, and when I arrived they said we were doing Fran since they had a visitor (me). Joy.

I don't know if it's because I subliminally thought I had to represent the SFCF crew well, a good night's rest, alignment of something in the galaxy, riding my bike across town that warmed me up or all of the above, but I managed to cut a significant amount of time off my last attempt. I came in at 4:50. I thought I heard Mike wrong when he called out the time.

The people I met there were great, and their gym seems to have really taken off. Their set up is well done and I'd recommend it to anyone living there or travelling through. The welcoming attitude by the instructors and athletes alike make it a place I'd want to return to.
