Wounded Warrior Project
On September 22, 2012, the Boston Soldier Ride will take place to help benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. Soldier Ride is a unique four-day cycling opportunity for Wounded Warriors to use cycling and the bonds of service to overcome physical, mental, or emotional wounds. The rides are exhilarating and a great way to help warriors gain confidence and realize you can do this!
Volunteers are needed, and our own Jaime Bailey as well as Alicia Dunn, are participating at a few of the water stops along the course.
To learn more about Soldier Ride, you can visit: http://www.soldierride.org
If you want to volunteer, you’ll need to sign up with the Boston Warrior outpost here: https://mycarecrew.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/658503/login/?logout&language=en
If you have any questions feel free to ask!
Walked in at 5:30 am to find Mayor Joe Curtatone chatting with JT in his work out gear. I woke right up in a super happy way 😀 Struggled with the cleans technically… they so need work – but there was a 1:1 ratio of students to teachers this morning so thank you Nick and KP for your dual efforts on my lack of coordination and fear of the flying bar.
4:57 Rx… i guess? 14# med ball and 1.5 pood in each hand.
Good times! YAY SOMERVILLE
Next goal: work out with Menino @ Fenway
hahahahahahaha. the thought of menino workout is humorous.
Finally got to meet the famous KP and boy, was it everything I dreamed and more… Elbow Dancing and ass kicking all day long.
HPC: 100#… I’m with Renee… it was awesome having JT and KP and …NDK on hand with lots of good tips and constructive criticism. I will, one day, get under the bar.
WOD: 4:4~? RX 14# med ball, 50# dumbbells (wish I’d been able to get my hands on the KBs, the dumbbells kept banging into my legs)

Bummed that I missed the mayor!
HPC: 95#
WOD: 5:19 with 14# ball and 70# carry
vacation wod #1: grace, 3:41 rx.
grace after hours sitting in the sun like a beached whale was an interesting experience.
Nice! Enjoy Ben 🙂
just channel that solar energy generator
Great workout today! Best part about it was the Gn(Fn)R for the WOD. I did the Axl dance a little at the end but I don’t think anyone saw it (which is probably a good thing).
HPC: 75#. Did 80# a couple of times but failed both times on the 2nd rep. Darnit.
3:56 for the WOD.
HPC: 135#, had gotten up to 185# but went back down to focus on form
WOD: 3:57 w/ 60# DBs
HPC: 145#. It was ugly, but as Steve said, ugly counts. 🙂
WOD: 4:36 with pretty bad 10# wall ball situps (need work) and 50# dumbells in each hand. I could have moved way faster on the farmer’s carry, as I figured out in the last round. Next time.
Really really liked this wod. 4:44 – 14# ball an 24kg kettle bells for the carry. 65# HPCs only to perfect my speed.
HPC: 160# – really, really bad form. Planning on decreasing weight and working on proper form in the future. I love to buckle my knees, which has to stop.
WOD: 4:48 @ 20# balls and 2pd KB
