Key West was a BLAST, but also proof that 1) I can't hang like I used to and 2) A week of heavy food and drinks does not do a body good.
We set out to do our second Park2Park on Saturday - didn't make it to the early AM (sorry, Mark) - and ended up doing a slightly shorter version.
We ran from the park(ing lot) near Sebastian's BBQ and ran to Moyer Park where we did 30 air squats, 30 push ups (*did on knees for max range of motion - weaksauce), and 30 burpees, and ran back. I will say it felt very rough and a lot more difficult than when we did so in late May; I even had to stop for a water break and some extra breath!
Here's how my stats shook out:
MAY 24th

SEPTEMBER 7th

Needless to say, I have some work to do to get back to where I was/where I should be/to be even better.
I keep going back to this statement as it has stuck with me since she posted it back in June (thanks, Drea!).
While this may not be a setback due to an injury, the time is now to take the reigns back and become better than ever; in heart, body, and mind. We need to clean up our act on the food/drink and fitness front as it's been a steady downwards slope since after the Half Marathon, which was the end of April!! Okay, maybe not steady since then as we did hit the ground running with the BollardWODSquad in May, but we've got to get the consistency back. I want to feel lean and strong again; I want to be stronger than I've ever been. I know Chad feels the same way.
So here's to really getting after it again and STICKING WITH IT!! It's a process, a journey, a commitment.
