Everyday I consider myself very lucky and thankful to have the best job in the world, and to be part of an amazing, inspiring, encouraging community. I’m thankful for the opportunity to coach, work, and workout with great people. I’m thankful for my health, and to have a kind, caring, beautiful, very understanding, young woman supporting me.
Too often we focus on the negative and what could be. This is the season to be thankful for what we have. Take a moment to reflect on all that’s gone right, and been good this year. What are you thankful for?

I’m thankful for finding a gym where the trainers and other members provide community and inspiration on a regular basis. So thank you everyone! Happy Turkey Day!
Well said! I hope everyone and their families have a happy and healthy Thanskgiving and I look forward to burning those extra calories off next week!
Bench: 35kg, which was my 3 rep a few weeks ago. Got 40 for 2, so probably could have gone somewhere around 37-38. But felt better than last time (and felt progressively better each set), so I guess I’m finally starting to get the hang of it.

Not gonna lie- a 20″ box would have been much nicer. And/or a 14# ball.

I am thankful for the first few seconds at the beginning of today’s WOD when I was actually ahead of Justin…
Seriously though, I am very thankful for the finest 15 (plus) minutes of my day. Happy Thanksgiving, all.
So funny when Pope ran out the door before Justin…I have never seen him move so fast!!! Nice work Pope!!!
Ha. Thanks, Stacey! I think I’ve always had a quick first step… Now the steps after that, those are a different story…
Maybe we could get some travel WODs and times going at some point this weekend. I hope everyone has a safe trip.

Hi all,
I haven’t bench pressed since h.s., and it wasn’t pretty, 29kg, and my shoulder might be mad at me.
I loved the WOD – Rx’d at 22:34 (I think it was that/roughly..).
Legs will be burning the next couple days!
Happy Thanksgiving to all – thanks for being such a great supportive group of people!!!

LSD (Long Slow Distance) day — between 10.5 and 11 mi. This was my first small taste of what marathon training during the winter is going to be like…time to support the economy and buy some decent cold-weather gear.

I did this one at the Tindley Sport and Athletic Center in DC. I might have had a Kramer-esque incident with the swiftly spinning, low hanging ceiling fans and my jump rope.
