It is so important to constantly challenge ourselves physically. We are people wanting to influence each other and others we meet along the way.
This is where we can get workouts for the day, track your times, pr's, ask and reply to questions and comments.

This is also where we will share what events we are participating in and opening them up to the rest of the team to take part in.

Calluses ripped... I can't speak for others but had my own firework show when my blisters popped on my hands!

There were some comments made about how an American celebrates the 4th.  
We celebrate with the coming together of family and friends.
With the respect to those who work everyday for our freedoms.
With the understanding that our freedoms are something to be cherished..
To never be taken for granted.
Our Independence is something very special.... we have choices.  Everyday.
Today we chose to be together.  Celebrate in the way we like to celebrate together. 
And then spend the afternoons with our families and friends.


Happy Independence Day!

  1. We are on a mission to finish 30 WODs by Aug 7th. The boys get fast passes at Great America if they accomplish this. We completed a run on Tuesday morning, 4 miles, boys biked. This past weekend was a tournament in the dells, no WOD recognition but plenty of stairs, over 1500 each day, plus games.
    Today was about teamwork and mental toughness, Austin and Cade argued with each other which set me off. I will not tolerate that while in workout mode. Later in the workout, I was motivating myself, pushing it, encouraging Austin when he said 'shutup' under his breath. A quick blow to his solar plexus put him on the ground. Some tears later and a stern talking as to why that does not make a good teammate he appologized. Two-a-days in their near future as football players, will not show mercy.
    The workout;
    100m run, then circuit of 8 boxjump burpees, 8 situps, 8 shuttle runs across driveway.
    125m run-circuit
    150 m run-circuit
    200 m run-circuit
    150-circuit
    125 circuit
    100 circuit
