31 Heroes workout is in the books – it was a tough workout even with a partner. Noble CrossFit paired me up with a nice young girl named Rebecca and we did our best with 75# thrusters, rope climbs, 25+/- sand bag runs and 24′ box jumps. This was the first time I ever climbed a rope in a workout — I was so proud of myself but man, it wasn’t easy. I am sure I am not being super efficient in my climbs yet but I will count it because I did it — and more than a few times!
And I gotta say –looking at the pictures, I don’t look bad! I definitely am seeing the results of better programming and coaching. I have more definition for sure and am stronger. Randy and I were talking a bunch before our heat was ready on Saturday about some of the science behind getting fit. Like how drinking caffeine before working out affects your body and the theory behind recovery meal and the window of opportunity you have to burn fat efficiently for the rest of the day. I am going to look into drinking a recovery shake post workout for a while to see if it makes a difference.
I know taking Natural Calm magnesium has done a lot for muscle soreness (when I remember to drink it!).
After my workout, I headed over to a reunion of some AOL people that I worked with. It was a super tight group that worked on the Kids Only (KOL) area. And what a special group they were. I came onto the team late so didn’t get to bond as much but they are a great bunch of people. And we had a great time, catching up, sharing memories and laughs. It really is great to reconnect with people who meant so much to you. It felt like home.
Yesterday, I dropped HB off for another week long sleep away camp. This time she’s taking it with one of her buddies and its with the Girl Scouts. I love that she has no qualms about just going and seeing what happens. As she was in line to get on the bus, she ran over to me and said “one more hug and kiss Mom. I love you so much.’ That is one of the sweetest girls I know. I love her so much !

Naps are one of my favorite things in the world! I try to take as many as I can on the weekends and if I could sleep at work, I would.
This is a no-brainer. You have to continually focus and work at it. It doesn’t come easy.

Rope climbing is the bomb. I see A LOT of muscle definition in the shoulders mam. Looking good and keep it up. I see Andre in your picture. He is a tremendous athlete. Who are the other two? Hope all is well.
