WOD with Warriors

Anthem Crossfit hosted the WOD with Warriors for Team RWB this year. It was a good morning surrounded by some really great people. We followed the WOD with a social, so it gave our local team here an excellent chance to hang out and talk with others about who we are and what we do here in Pensacola.
The WOD they hosted for us was called 21 Gun Salute and was conducted at boxes all over the country over Memorial Day weekend. It was a really good WOD and was fairly beginner friendly.

I just love this photo!

I had the opportunity to talk to everyone that was there about Team RWB before the WOD started. I'm not a great public speaker, but it was an excellent opportunity to talk about the team. I did my best!

They led us through a warm-up before the WOD.

This photo cracks me up every time...looks like Arin and I are holding hands.

Thanks to Kristy we got some really good photos. Here I am during the 400 m run.

The kids got to join in with their very own WOD. They had an great time and talked about it a lot afterwards.

 

 

I was so thankful that they included a kid WOD. The kids really enjoyed themselves and we were able to do the event as a family.

Remember the Fallen Virtual Run

I'm doing all of my runs/races this year in honor of CPL Michael Sonka and his MPC Flex who were KIA on May 4, 2013. I wanted to do something special on the 4th to honor them and I came across this virtual run called Remember the Fallen. It was for a 5k, 10k, or half marathon, but Chris and I did 4 miles.
We wore our War Dogs shirts and had their names put on the bibs.

 Chris wanted his bib on his back...

 I wore mine on the front...

 We ran the trail that loops Corry Station where Chris works. We met up at the start of his lunch break, 1030. It was a little hot, but still a nice, sunny run.

 

I found two flags flying along the route for Glenn, CPL Sonka's step-dad, who is the entire reason we've set out on this adventure.

 

We didn't wear any timing devices, as we figured we would take our time to reflect on all they sacrificed for us. It was a very touching run.
This is the beautiful medal they provided for the run.
