Workout of the day
Mid week and a small confession, I posted Tuesday’s workout on Monday and Monday’s workout on Tuesday. Not that it actually really mattered and actually got a worser evil out of the way sooner.
Really then… you are welcome!

Elise was NOT sick, or so she says! She went outside for a “walk” immediately after the last round to cool down… to the bush and back! Only as it was a prominent turn around point, rather than it be somewhere to be sick!

Well that was a belter of a weekend. Sunkissed and very relaxing. Weekends off are for the win!
What’s not for the win is the vile workout that you guys have in store for tomorrow, a repeat and one which caused a fair amount of discomfort. It definitely does not feel like a relaxing dog walk, followed by a cocktail in a wood burning hot tub!

You go, I go rounds. Run together.
U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Ricardo Barraza, 24, of Shafter, California, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, based in Fort Lewis, Washington, died on March 18, 2006, in Ar Ramadi Iraq, when he came under small arms fire by enemy forces during combat operations. He is survived by his parents Francisco and Nina, his siblings Amanda, Rachel, Jamie, and Frankie, and his fiancee Maghan K. Harrington and her daughter Kayla.
