Grace has decided to get up and CrossFit with me. She will be a thrower on the Capital University track team in the Fall and she needs to be working out. The sample workouts she was sent have a lot of CrossFit like movements on it. Therefore, since gyms are still closed and she doesn’t have anyone to give her instruction on how to do a number of these things, we decided it would be good for her to do CrossFit this summer. Let’s see if she really gets up to do this with me at 5:30 a.m.??? Yep – she was up! Ready to get started.

So, who will we be starting the week with?? Bob, Dave, Lacey, Nikki, Heather, Grace, and me.

Hard work out – sweating like crazy – my shirt is soaked. Time to shower and head to work. Have a good day everyone.

No Zoom class today as the workout is a 5000m run. I’ll miss the others today. As you recall, I’m 50, fat, and love food. Therefore, I don’t run. But I can bike.

I biked 7 miles this morning and boy do my legs feel it.

I really wanted Victoria, Noah, or Grace to get up and walk a 5K with me but I couldn’t get anyone to get up this early. I thought it might be cool to actually start the day with that. But nope no one — so I really don’t want to walk in the dark by myself.

Have a great day everyone.

See you tomorrow!

What a busy weekend we ended up having. I’m a bit tired this morning but we’ll see how things go. According to what I read, I don’t know how to do half this stuff.
