Started the day off with a great film session with the Varsity Lacrosse team.  The boys were coming off a great win against rival Kiski, as we prepared for our weekend in Cincinnati.  Assistant Coach Joe, broke down the film and rallied the team for the game and also today’s practice.

For practice we started with “3 by 3” small sided lacrosse games (using small goals and tennis balls).  And by we, I mean the coaches had a team too. (Just  a reminder, i’ve never played lacrosse before).

The team broke up into groups of three, and played games to three goals.  we had multiple fields set up, and after every game the winners moved up and the losers moved down.  As the coaches team, we started on the top winning field and were hoping to stay there the entire practice. I would love to report that our team went undefeated, but we ended the day with a few loses.

It was a great workout on a warm day and I think we managed to hold onto our pride

Until next Thursday,

Filling in for Team Wednesday for Day 172 of the 365 Day Challenge Blog. Team Saturday here!

I am recovering from my week long East Coast trip from sleeping on couches, floors, air mattresses, planes (the worst) and sometimes no sleep at all…body is extremely tired.

In order to lengthen out the body, get a good sweat, get the heart rate up all while getting a full body workout, I went swimming for a little over an hour for what I think was roughly 3.25 miles. Felt great. Some light stretching before and after in the Sauna. Will get back to the road mileage soon.

Well today was a rarity…the Granite Girls worked out together! We had a minor ankle injury due to a wedding dress mishap but regardless DK prevailed!!!

She and I met at the new YMCA in Nashua during my lunch break. DK took it easy on her ankle but definitely gave her core a nice workout by doing several different strength building core exercises.

I have found pinterest to be extremely helpful in finding a few new full body workouts.  I ran a 5.6 mile road race on Sunday  with my husband so I decided to do a shorter sprint/ interval workout today combined with the full body work out.   

The full body exercises are awesome!!! Jumping jacks, triceps dips, squats, sit ups etc really make you work hard for a shorter period of time but still getting in a great workout.  I posted the total body work out as well as the interval routine. Both of which can be modified accordingly or done as many times as you would like.

Have a great rest of the week!

xoxo Granite Girls

ps: DK’s ankle is feeling much better and she will be back at it by next week for sure 🙂

What’s up everybody, happy Monday!  It’s been another strong week of workouts for old Derek, even though the SoCal weather hasn’t included the sunshine I normally brag about here on the blog.

I attempted an 18-mile run yesterday, my longest distance in some time, but hit a wall around mile 14 and could only muster 16.  I clocked a 10-minute mile, two minutes longer than what I’ve been running on my shorter runs, which led me to the realization I need some work on my pacing.  Nonetheless, it was a helpful rehearsal for the big show, which is a month and one day from today.

Not really up for another big run so soon, I took it easy today on a quick 5k with some minor lifting and core strengthening afterward.

See y’all next week!

This weekend, Team Baltimore headed East to Ocean City, Maryland for the 8th annual Half Marathon and 5k. Drew Vogt, Matt Vogt, and myself got up at the crack of dawn, joined up with the 4,000 other racers, and began our 13.1 mile journey at 7am while wearing a combination of We Are One 365 shirts and wristbands.

The weather could not have been better and the three of us truly enjoyed the feeling of finishing a 13 mile trek before 9am while keeping WAO in our minds.

Stay tuned as we finalize the results from the Baltimore Kickoff Event in March. We should have some exciting news soon. Enjoy the week.

Nick here,

Just had a nice work out in my hometown of Hollis, NH today.

Started with a 5 mile run this morning while Max biked beside me, again. Followed by a push-up and sit-up challenge, and for the blogs sake, it was a tie.

Gorgeous day today, trying to spend as much time with friends and family.

Stay sweet,

Max here for Team Friday. Sorry for the late post. Had to get the internet password from the Karwoski’s house in Hollis.  Thanks Bear.

Got a good bike ride in next to Nick during his run. Good to get some WAO team action going on. Headed down to Boston for reunion dinner.

Keep those workouts going. Beach season is just around the corner.

Team Saturday filling in for Team Thursday today. Great day in Center City in Philadelphia. Ran next to the Schuylkill (something like that) with my great friend Andy Elkan. Solid 6 mile run at 6:40 pace with core, abs, stretching and rolling out afterwards at his gym next to where he works. Got our protein on afterwards at Smoothie King for the walk back to his apartment.

Got a lift in this afternoon which comprised of all lower leg dead lifting. Groin and abs are feeling great.

Andy and I are heading to Penn Relays tonight to watch our good friends Kent and Darcy race as well as Dylan and Catherine from Dickinson. Steeple, 10k, 5k, 10k, respectively.

I will give more details of the race with pictures on Saturday when I’m in New Hampshire with my family (and the Team Tuesday Granite Girls).

Till then, AR. NF. NR.

Body by Scotty began @ 7:00 am today which was a welcome treat from the normal 6:00 am time.  Jay & I decided to meet @ 6:30 to do a half hour of eliptical before we met with Scott….great way to break a sweat and then jump right into a roll out of all body parts with those wonderful cylindrical styrofoam rollers!  I especially like to roll out my back.

 Scott began with some side step squats with weights, some core work along with arm exercises on the machines.  The time goes by quickly when you do 3 sets of everything.  Another good one is using a 20lb weight to balance on one leg while the other leg is extended.  Makes me stay really focused & not talk so as not to lose my balance. 

The Merrimack Y services over 9,000 children every year with their preschool, after school & weekend programs for kids of all ages.  I like being a part of an organization that caters to so many.  The seniors are a huge part of the population as well.

 So many choices under one roof~thanks to the troops & their families for their sacrifices. Their commitment  to our country and our well being is appreciated and admired by  all here at WeAre365!
