It was another tough week of Cross-fit; I am beginning to think there are no easy weeks. I was so sore on Thursday that I had to trade my Friday Off day. My body was absolutely toast, I just went home and slept, my body was so fatigued I woke up in the middle of the night saturated in sweat. A clear sign my body is processing this exercise and stress on my body. It was a smart move, my body felt well the next day, funny how if we just listen to our bodies they will take care of us.
If you know me then you know the cold doesn’t bother me, but this weather has just been devastating for any kind of consistent cycling. The temps and road conditions have been the worst I have seen in over 10 years. I have not let it discourage me; I have been keeping up with my endurance so it will come as the weather breaks.
This week, I have been taking advantage of the new opportunities in the Holloway Wellness Center. I played multiple racquet ball games, 5 competitive 3on3 basketball games, and 4 full court basketball games. Feels good to run around with the young college kids but it hurts a little in the morning. It’s that good kind of hurt so I have no complaints. I’m locked in and staying focused. My weight is down to 275 lbs. but I am leaner then I have ever been. I am starting to see how the workouts are shaping my body. I have a long way to go but it’s encouraging.
Stay the course men.

man, another exciting week and I'm proud of your strides for sure. That Holloway center is awesome...can't wait to come down and get a swim or maybe even a coed dip in the 40 person tub:)
This is great stuff! Love the story on listening to your body. That is so true...and so hard to do. This was a great reminder to all of us.
