My 5 yr old started kindergarten at the beginning of the month, and the 3 yr old is still home with me. It gets hectic with school, homework, taekwondo and On-Ramp to Crossfit Bootcamp time.
I earned my July's Get Out and Run metal by participating in the Woodstock Freedom Run on July 4th. That was a 5K in Downtown Woodstock, my chip time was 31:08, I'm striving to improve my running time with every race. The kids loved watching the parade afterwards. The run was sponsored by Pinacle Orthopaedics, I had my elbow surgery there last year when I was dealing with olecranon Bursitis (that's another blog post).
The Run for Wounded Heroes 5K benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project followed on August 2nd. I irritated my patella tendon during Bootcamp two days before the race. Had to get a shot on the knee the day before, iced it really good that day and wore a patella strap the day of the race. I was pretty sure I would not beat my previous time. Surprised myself with a 29:45 chip time.
September will be a fun month. I'm running the Labor Day Be Your Own Hero 10K . I'm hoping to beat my previous time of 1:21. will also participate in the Spartan WOD that's coming to town at the end of the month. Will let y'all know how that goes.
