I have been in Salt Lake City, Utah this whole week and have been able to take advanage of the beautiful weather.

  Myself and a co-worker went on a 4.5 mile run today around the city of Salt Lake.  We ran through the down town area and up and around their capitol building! What fabulous views we saw at the top.  It’s amazing to see the beauty of our nation!  Each and every day we need to keep in mind how fortunate we are, especially to have men and women in the military fighting for this beautiful country of ours!

I decided to do an early run today instead of going after work. It was a nice change as it was much cooler outside. I ended up running for about 2 and a half miles.  Good Thursday workout which lead to a great day.

Wassup Team Monday!  Hope the weekend was a great one for everyone!  I was back in my college town of Madison, Wisconsin this past weekend, living it up with some of my old college pals.  An old roommate of mine was getting married, which proved a great excuse to get the bros together and reenact some undergrad adventures.

The weather in Madison was just gorgeous, so we hit up the green for a nice 18 holes Saturday afternoon.  I can’t say I did very well, or even respectable for that matter, but I had fun.  Afterward, we went to the batting cages to smack some baseballs; an activity I was only mildly better at.  Nonetheless, it was a real blast, and I realized how much I miss incorporating activities into exercising.  Running and cycling are great workouts, and provide their own set of rewards, but nothing is as fun as team exercise.  I suppose that is why I love races so much; they are events with hundreds of people all striving for the same goal.  I really miss being on a team, and I think I’m going to try and incorporate more group or event exercise into my life.  Exercise doesn’t seem like quite the chore when you’re enjoying it.

See y’all next week.

A little out of order here at the WAO365 Day Challenge but definitely no lack of commitment. Saturday was filled with an incredible range of WAO participants. A great friend James Sunderland played in his Men’s League Soccer game where he decided the pace of the game, had 3 assists and a goal and came out on top with the “W”. I think thats like a Swedish hat trick or something. Our Wednesday Team leader, Alex Karwoski, raced in the Grand Final for the World Championships in LIthuania and came in 4th. 4th in the world for Saturday….I’d say halfway decent..haha. A huge Congratulations to him and the US Team. Quite an impressive feat to accomplish in such a hard event and sport. Love you buddy.

And for myself, I had a great workout in Santa Monica. 2 sets of 20 reps on the bars down at the beach. Tricep dips, full body push ups, pull ups, chin ups and 10 min abs. I was feeling really amped going into the workout, so I ran the 4.5 miles to the beach. Normally it wouldn’t be an issue, a 9 mile run I mean, but after that workout and considering I’m just starting back up with my running mileage, the “jog” back was beyond exhausting.

Keep up the great work.

It was a pretty quiet weekend around Baltimore, but I did manage to get my favorite 3 mile run around the harbor in this morning.  I also wanted to add 2 pics from our July 4th run, when many members of team Baltimore were in Dewey.  Pictured below is Mike Lupold, Ryan Farrell, Mike Kirby, Matt Mazza, and Gary Aghazarian.

The girls also went for a quick run on the fourth.  Below is Amelia Buchard, Sarah McColley, and Molly Kengor.

Let’s keep up the great work WAO.

Enjoy the Week,

-Team Baltimore

It’s Friday once again and Emily is nowhere to be found…So I guess I will just pull the weight of this dream teams work out on this lovely day. 

NH weather has been beautiful as of late, lots of time for swimming and other outdoor activities. I enjoyed some sun today, but had to cut out early for my summer hockey league game. It was my second game of the season and also are teams first win! An easy 7-1 victory but a good workout since our bench was short 3 players. Always a great feeling to walk into a cold rink after a hot day like today, summer hockey might be my favorite time to play.

In bigger news. Big ups to Mr. Wednesday (Alex Karwoski) and the US team for their advancement to the finals at the 2012 World Rowing U23 Championships. Go get em’ big guy! 

Stay sweet,

Maxim

First off, I want to apologize for missing my post day last week.  We have a great group of volunteers and leaders and we always manage to get a post up.  So thank you for the back up!

Today was a 4 mile run and an upper body work out.  This was a little more distance than I normally do, but i managed to get through.  It is a 2 mile loop that remains pretty flat with a few decent inclines.

I would also like to wish a happy belated 4th of july, since I missed my post on the 5th.  God Bless

Team Wednesday a little off the normal timing because of his European location. Currently in Lithuania for the World Championships of Rowers under 23 years old. The first preliminary races were yesterday where the US had a strong first 3/4 of the race but Great Britain closed hard and edged them out for the win. They head to the semi finals on Friday to hope to qualify for the Grand Final on Sunday. The entire We Are One Family wishes Alex and the US team the best of luck. Pull hard!

Last day on the East Coast with my family which has been an incredible past two weeks. Every day and every moment was cherished as our family grew and celebrated these events with all of our closest friends and family. Can’t thank the men and women enough who dedicate their lives to serving this incredible country and giving us the privilege to celebrate these types of events with our loved ones. Thank you.

Tuesday’s workout was a run through the trails at Mills Falls Park. If my Mom enjoyed running, she could be an incredible runner and, ultimately, an even better triathlete. I’m working on it but its definitely a love/hate relationship with her. I actually got a 3 mile run in once I flew back to Los Angeles at around 1 o’clock in the morning. Good to be back but definitely ready to be back on the East coast full time. These next couple of Wednesday/Saturday posts should be quite interesting as my brother and I embark on our cross country road trip. Who knows what type of workouts we will be doing.
