Labor Day

As you may have noticed I did not post anything this morning for a WOD.  As most of us had the day off to celebrate labor day I did not have a planned WOD.  I did however go to Panama City Beach Crossfit on Saturday and was able to participate in the "31 Hero's" WOD in memory of the 31 Navy Seals that were killed recently overseas.  It was a really good experience.  The workout was very tough and it was raining on us the whole time.  Were were in teams of 4 and instead of doing a weighted run we did a 400 M partner carry. The rest of the WOD consisted of 155lb thrusters, rope climbs and 30" box jumps.  I was working out very closely with people I had never met before but for the 31 minutes of the workout we were as close as could be all going through the same pain together.  Afterwards the whole class had gathered together for a group picture and one of the guys from my team spoke up and said how he was down for the weekend but was from the same base that all those men had been from, many of which were close friends.  He said it was touching to see complete strangers honor those who had fallen and was proud to have been a part of it with us.  It definitely made it worth it.

You may have noticed that I added a link on the side of the blog called Mobility WOD.  It is a great resource to go to.  It is full of examples on how to stretch and work with your body to become more flexible and on how to work through injuries.
