Loredo!!
Hello friends!
It’s hard to believe we’re taking another go around these at home workouts and even harder to believe how much time has passed since we last worked out together.
When I went to post this blog I realized I wrote the original and wondered if the words I wrote in April still held up. And in all the ways they really do including my excitement at remembering to write the blog. To be fair, I have lots and lots of lists. 🙂
But I digress, those words are below and while they were only a few months ago they feel like a lifetime ago and they remain true nevertheless.
“First, let’s take a minute to celebrate the fact that I realized it was Tuesday and didn’t forget to blog. 🙂 Second, wanted to shout-out to all of you following these at home workouts! It’s hard to stay motivated. I get it. But sometimes you just have to do the work to get motivated to do the work. So keep after it!!
Today we have a Hero WOD that gets you outside (unless you can somehow run 400 meters times six inside your home). For me, Hero WODs elicit a different level of commitment to the work. Hell, let’s say it even elicits feelings (let’s hope JT isn’t reading this). Feelings of gratitude for all the gifts that I’ve been given, including the ability to pay tribute to someone with physical effort; feelings of sadness for those lost, those I’ve known and those others mourn; and feelings of “fuck it- don’t stop moving – no excuses.”
So with that get in some mobility work (stretch all the things), warm-up with some jumping jacks, burpees, maybe a light jog, and some lunges and don’t stop moving! And since I’m here and talking about feelings – I’m thankful for every single one of you and miss you guys a ton!!!!!!!!!!”

I did 40 dubs instead of 400m run. 31:24. That was the hardest one yet!
StruggleBUS
38:22 with lunges in place, 500m row, and pushups from knees for last four rounds
40:36
Tough but fun. Managed to keep a steady pace until the last round
I forgot to comment yesterday, but this WOD taught me a few things:
6 rounds is too many rounds
24 push ups is too many push ups
I really miss CFSV!!
30 ish minutes
But did you also learn you can get it done? We miss you!!
Yes of course!!!
