Crusaders: Bash at the Barefoot 2007 Cut-off.  The was a high school reunion type of party I went to almost 10 years ago. Flip-flops...

Back felt tight, but after a few sets of squats it started to loosen up.  It was a bit sore the whole time, but manageable. Some of the movements each day are starting to get hard while others are still really easy. I am not sure how the program will auto regulate this, but I trust it and the great staff at Renaissance Periodization. 

Here is a link to the video of my training on my YouTube channel:

Daily “Selfie” – It is starting to get cold down in the Heavy Hammer Gym.  I have on a full-zip, Show Choir sweatshirt from my senior year of high school, 2004.  Also pictured are my new WITCC sweatpants that I won at our faculty Christmas party.  They are very comfy and warm, but too long.  I have to roll up the bottoms a good 3-4 inches in order to function in them.
