[B]Active Rest Day[/B] I took yesterday to do some light yoga and A LOT of stretching. I made sure to stay hydrated because the temp has been soaring into the triple digits!! The foam roller has become my best friend.....:D [B][COLOR="red"]20130731[/COLOR][/B] I was planning to go for a bike ride but had no juice in me this morning.... I had a great day at work!! I networked and got to meet more instructors and visit their areas. It was rather productive, and inspired me to get a little workout in tonight. [B][I]Calisthenics and stretching[/I][/B] [B]WOD[/B] 4 rds 45 sec single unders 10 push ups 20 sit ups on fitness ball [B]Conditioning[/B] 6 rds on the bag with 30:10 splits I am super stoked about tomorrow!!!! It'll be my first boot camp session with Parks and Recs. Not expecting a huge turn out but will have some. I'd rather begin small and expand anyhow. |

[B]REST DAY(S)[/B] Taking all of these rest days is very frustrating because I want to workout. But, I know that it is beneficial to take care of mysef. So far, it's been working pretty well. |

[B]Active Rest Day[/B] I walked 1 mile at a decent pace to recon a route for my future social run sessions. The park that I conduct my classes has an extensive trail system, so I don't want to lose folks during the runs....:p Also, I led a curcuit with the park installed equipment but did not have any participants for HIIT. Did some stretching and relaxed because it was a long day in the sun. The wife and I have some dancing to do tonight!!!:pepper: |

Time to get back in the saddle. I've taken numerous rest days to recup my back, so today I wanted to get in a decent workout without reinjuring myself.

I did sleep in my bed for the first time in a week....It wasn't bad but the wife and I have discussed purchasing a Sleep Member mattress. Hopefully, that will be good for the two of us; she likes memory foam for her pains and I prefer a firmer mattress. |

I put off running once again...I have to get the house ready to receive the wifey and kids coming back from vacation.

My cardio has suffered in the last few weeks. If I don't get back to running on a regular, then I'll begin doing more AMRAP and WODs for time to compensate. I'll have to check my work schedule for the upcoming weeks to see when I could get some biking in, at the very least. I have an obstacle race coming up and I am ill prepared.:o |

I was very honored to do a WOD dedicated to one of my friends that was killed in action along with the men of his Scout platoon, and helicopter crew. They were all very special and will always hold a place in my heart and soul.

I trembled and pushed for Derek Dobogai, Jason Paton, Garrett McLead, Josh Harmon, Jess Pollard, Michael Hook, Phil Brodnick, Jeremy Bouffard, Ty Seideman, Nathan Hubbard, Corry Tyler, Matthew Tallman, Josh Flynn and Rickey Bell.
