Day 98: TGIF

Lucky you!  Today you get to hear from both team leaders….Happy Friday, folks.
No coincidence that Emily and I got asked to blog on the coolest day of the week. We might be the odd couple of the WAO 365 team, seeing how we’ve only met a few times, and just made it official on the book.
I am Maxim Willwerth, half of this powerful duo. I am a senior at Plymouth State University, it’s a small school in NH, sort of like Dartmouth, sort of not.  I find it very humbling to be part of this organization and hope I can be a helpful addition.
Hi there!  I’m Emily, here to round off your week.  Having graduated from the University of Notre Dame in May, I  have recently moved to the Land of 10,000 Lakes where I am a graphic designer.  I love the what Minneapolis has to offer and I hope to share a bit of the city with all of you through this blog.  I am a new yoga addict and am starting to train for my third half marathon.  SO excited to be able to contribute to WAO 365!
This was my first week of training for the Minnetoka Half Marathon in May.  Previously, I have trained for races (both full and half marathons) to stay in shape and to cross it off my bucket list.  This time, however, I really want to focus on speed….we’ll see how that goes    ; ) Today was a rest from running and instead, I got to enjoy a long yoga class.  Still a newbie, I have trouble finding total relaxation while in practice since I am focusing on the unfamiliar positions I am twisting my body into.  That said, it feels great when I’m finished and I think yoga will be an awesome way to balance out my training!
Tune in for Max’s post next week!  In the mean time, enjoy a nice Friday workout to kickstart your weekend right.
