Week 41 - He says thank you for the Birthday Shout Out CrossFit Hardcore


I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes! I normally don't go on the blog, but something told me that I had better look. I was not expecting that. Thank you!

And congratulations to CrossFit Hardcore for the success that you have had at Regional's. Can't believe that that was over a year ago!

Know that I am working out everyday. I actually live next to a YMCA, and have actually been following to Westside Conjugate System. I am not in the best shape, but I am actually getting stronger.

I love you all! My prayers are with you Adriana and Lance that you will have and find success!

Take care, and go workout so hard that you puke!

I'm finally in the middle of the Arizona desert!!!! I came to AZ expecting this! And I finally got it!
Right now I live next to a YMCA, so they have access to lots of weights. The "Ski Jackie" WOD was lots of fun, I really like the ski machine thing.... But the pace is considerable slower that on the rower, but it was none the less an awesome WOD!
Since I have access to all of these weights and I may not have that kind of access again any time soon, I will be focusing mostly on strength. Especially since I bike around all day. But I will be following as much as I can of the Westside conjugate system. This time with both lower and upper days. I will be taking a step back from Oly lifting, so I can solely focus on the Power lifts which are something I'm not the best at!

These are pictures that Elder Yates asked me to put on his blog. Unfortunately I'm not clear on everybody's name so they are just randomly put here. Logan is not in San Tan Valley, AZ.

His address is: 

4096 East Sierrita Rd
San Tan Valley AZ 85143

He would love letters/cards!

I have lost some strength. But I have every intention to get it back. I am looking forward to this next week!
