24 - 31
24Sunday
Rest.
25Monday
XF. Shoulders a bit goofy, so modified much of the WOD. Chad did regular WOD.
26Tuesday
We both rested. Shoulders really bothering me. Went to doc. Most likely bicipital and supraspinatus tendonitis definitely in my left and some in my right. Rest, ice, and modified movements for a couple of weeks. But do not stop entirely. Sucky, but could be worse.
27Wednesday
Back to it. Something is better than nothing. Modified a lot of it again, but felt pretty good. Chad did the regular WOD.
28Thursday
Mobility at lunch. Chad did not get to it and wish he would have. I really enjoy the mobility and find it very beneficial.
29Friday
Complete modification (different WOD entirely). Chad did the regular WOD. Then we were off to Savannah around lunchtime.
30Saturday
Wanted to run, but didn't. We did walk around Savannah and sweat a whole lot doing it, though. Also got to chill in the awesome pool. Ahhhhh.
31Sunday
Ran 5 miles. Ugh. Hot, stiff, probably a little dehydrated, and just felt plain rough. At least it's done. Happy 1st Birthday, Basil!!

Week 2 in the Bo(x)oks
Aug 16 - 23
16
I ran 4 miles early in the AM on Saturday, August 16th. Emmy did some run and walking while Chad and Piggy walked.
17
Em, Charlie, Lottie, and I hiked on Murray Run on Sunday while Chad was still recovering and resting on Sunday.
18 -21
Monday - back to it!! The whole first part of the week was full of great, kick-ass WODs! Chad was still recovering but finally made it back to the Box on Wednesday (he did mobility while we did the WOD, but nonetheless, he was there)!
Unfortunately, after the Wednesday WOD, my left shoulder started to bother me - different than the right shoulder that had been injured in my previous bout at the old box. So, I iced and stretched and rolled, etc. I didn't go to the Open Gym mobility on Thursday AM due to being a bit concerned, but I did end up taking clothes to change into and went during lunch and it seemed to help me out a bit as we did some light rowing, bulletproof shoulders, some hip flexor work, and some stretching. I iced throughout the day as well.
22
Chad went Friday AM and did well. I wanted to sleep in but couldn't as my internal clock is starting to really fall back into the early morning rising. However, the first official RRCF Ladies Night was at 7:30pm, so I knew I wouldn't be going in the AM. It was a great event! We all sweated our rears off during the planned partner WOD and then we ate, drank, and socialized. A good night, indeed.
23
Saturday AM, I ran 5 miles and Chad walked with Piggy on the greenway.
24
REST.

I'm Lovin' It!
Wow, it has been quite a week!
Poor Chad's back went out on him on Monday morning as he was putting on his shoes to head to our first day back to CrossFit. I ended up going and he was left to ice his back on the ground while I absolutely sweated my tail off!
Boy, does it feel good to be back, but in a much bigger and better way! River & Rail is everything we want and need in a box and I couldn't be more pleased to have joined! You can see the WODs on their website and on their Facebook Page.
This was also the first time I ever went 5 days in a row! Thursday was a nice surprise with planned active rest tabata WODs and additional mobility.
If you are on the fence about CrossFit and live in the area, I'm telling you, you won't be disappointed if you try it out.
Chad finally made it to the Box today, too!! He still isnt' 100%, but he was super happy to be back in the game.
Here's to great times ahead! As Peter would say, "Click Clack Bitches!"
HAPPY FRIDAY!

Last Week Outside of the Box
Monday, August 4th
Kate
Pure Barre PM*last class as my 1 month is up on the 7th
Chad
Kickball
Tuesday, August 5th
Nada, although I had planned on doing the Pub Run and even possibly going to the RAC in the AM. Waking up proved to be too difficult and work kept me late. Boo.
Wednesday, August 6th
Kate
AM Greenway Run
Chad
Walk with Piggy
Thursday, August 7th
Nada, although there was good intention to do something at one point.
Friday, August 8th-6 Year Engagement Anniversary
Met with some of our Red Dawn Rogues for a run. I ran more slowly than normal and it felt good!! I was accompanied by Janet and Alicia while Chad walked with Piggy.
Saturday, August 9th-Microfestivus
Fully intended to do a 3 - 4 mile run, but this stupid rain was a bit much. I could've gone to the RAC and done the elliptical or even run on a treadmill, but alas, I did not.
Sunday, August 10th-Day After Microfestivus
Sleep was very interesting, but hopefully it was a good collective effort from the different pieced-together times.
I ended up doing a makeshift Pure Barre class in our living room sans bar or ball while watching Bar Rescue - Oh, John Taffer! I definitely worked up a sweat and would like to try and maintain some of the moves to help with core, seat, thigh, and overall toning. Eventually, I'd like to get a bar (Lowes!) and a ball (Amazon!) and continue to try and work that in as a supplemental workout to...
CROSSFIT. Yep. We are going to be CrossFitters again starting tomorrow, August 11th at 0530. We will be joined by many good friends and are excited to be back in the grind. I have to say, though, that the following best sums up my feelings about it:

Back to Thinking Inside of the Box...
You may have seen Chad's post as he beat me to it, but our Blog Tagline may be a bit moot at this point in time as we have just joined a brand spankin' new box here in Roanoke/Salem called River & Rail CrossFit and are really excited about it! It's a huge space convenient to work and home founded by excellent coaches - and we'll be joined by many of our old Red Dawn 0530 buddies from our previous box. It's almost like coming home, but to a new one.
At any rate, we are delighted to be getting our asses kicked on the regular much harder than we have managed to kick our own starting 0530 08/11/14.
Stay Tuned for more posts from BollardWODSquad as we take on/resume our CrossFit journey River & Rail Style!

August and Everything After
Friday, August 1st
Nothing. I had intended to do something, but did not. Tired!
Saturday, August 2nd
Kate
3.12 Mile Run
Chad
Walk with Piggy due to his nerve/back/leg/foot issues.
We stopped by O'Brien Meats afterwards and picked up some delicious fresh beef, pork, and chicken, bacon, and eggs. What a deal! Then we looked at 5 houses, unfortunately none of them being "it," we are back to the drawing board. Definitely need to keep upping the workouts and must improve the diet as it it has been OOC lately.
Sunday, August 3rd
Hit up the RAC this afternoon as I felt we needed to get moving. We did clean the house this AM, but had a lull in activity, so alas, we went and I'm glad.
Kate
Got this little ditty from Carbyne CrossFit:
1500m row
150 DUs
1.5 mi run
Here are my results including transition and breaks.
Triple 1.5
I also did some work on the Gravitron as well as some moves from Pure Barre for arms and abs for just a little something extra.
Chad
20 min elliptical
500m row
core work
1000m row
Arms.
PS - The RAC has been under major construction and they have just painted a bunch of stuff. Looks nice. Ciao now.

Sheer exhaustion and back to work. Definite Case of the Mondays.
