Everyday Heros

**Had to post some of the few dates I missed back in June/July for my archive**

June 23, 2012

Everyday Heros was a comeptition held at CrossFit Route 1.

"EveryDay Heroes is a local nonprofit organization founded by Kendra, Mark and Francine Cecieta in honor of their father and husband William Cecieta, a fallen firefighter from Saugus.  EDH provides resources and educational programs for civil servants that actively serve their communities as police, fire, EMTs, and military personnel.

The EDH emergency fund’s goal is to provide financial assistance programs to support families and individuals in times of crisis, who have experienced financial turmoil due to the loss of life or a life-changing disabling injury that was sustained in the line of duty while serving their community. Financial assistance ranges from helping with basic living expenses to covering unanticipated expenses due to the loss or injury."

Seeing as how my family has been directly affected by an injury that had the potential to qualify for the help of this organization... and the respect I have for all of the men and women who serve our communites and keep us safe, this really hit home for me.

Hubs and I decided to compete as a team. We knew going into it that it was just for fun... we didnt care where we were going finish, how well we were going to do, but we knew we were going to give it our all and have a great time raising money for a great cause.

The 7's

September 15, 2012 Ahhhh, Saturdays. I love Saturday mornings at the gym. I usually get a little more sleep than normal, I get to have a little coffee and "awake" time before heading over and since I dont have a time constraint (most of the time) so its a totally different feeling than 5:30am. On Thursday night M had posted a "challenge" on the board. He, K and another CFWer had completed it and when I was looking at it on the board he posed the challenge to me as well. Told him that I would go for it on Saturday... so today was the day! I woke up thinking about "The 7's" and I knew that I was not going to back away from this challenge. For some reason, I was nervous about this one. I think I was just letting it get the best of me. I knew after talking to K and M that it was pretty deceiving the way it is written on the board. I mean you look at it and think, well, that cant be THAT bad. Than you quickly remember that when a CrossFit workout doesnt...

Take That Burpees...

August 30, 2011 I was exhausted last night when I got home from work around 7:45. I don’t even think exhausted is the word… my eyelids were heavy and I just wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep. I have nasty fall allergies and I am thinking that the storm may have jumpstarted them with all the trees flying. I was in bed at 9:00 and slept pretty well… Funny thing was, I woke up thinking about CrossFit and what the WOD would be this morning. I was thinking (at 5am) that we haven’t done burpees in a while, maybe I was dreaming about them. I went downstairs and decided to hop on the website real quick to see what was in store… hmmm what do you know… BURPEES! M and K must have been in my head last night! Off to CFW I went, T was there burpee-ing (is that a word) away when I pulled up. I got right into the warmup. Funny how a 200m run feels like nothing now. My feet feel light and my breathing is much more controlled. The 9 fundamentals are coming along every week with my form improving...

January 18, 2017 Tonight after coming home from daycare and watching "a snowman," Mr Z actually said "no" to watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... which is a miracle in itself. It was too early for bed time and it was bath night, so I brought him up early to hop in the tub with his other favorites, Nemo and Dory. After we ran around and chased each other all over my second floor while the tub filled up, he took a long (and bubble filled) tub. Its really one of my favorite times of the day. I take him out of the bath, we giggle while I kiss his little feets and tell them they are "my feet." He is all warm and snuggly and smells like Johnson Bubble Stuff... his eyelashes are still a little damp and hes sleepy in his eyes after a fun energy filled day. We lay together in his bed (the twin bed in his room), he makes sure he is positioned just right in the bed with his head on his pillow as tight to my side as he can be... legs crossed (always) and we read boo...
