It’s inside my socks, shorts, ears, gloves, shirt and mouth!

Yet, we had a blast today for the R.E.D. Friday WOD at Roos recreational field in Forest Park. Have you tried cleaning a gnarly, sandy and beat up 50 lb sandbag? Well Gil and I got it done. I personally have to say it gives hard upper cuts to the chin if you let it.

Swings and animal crawls (bear/crab) are no joke when you try to catch your breath. Good thing it was a short workout. (Right!)

As time went by we gave each other some key pick me ups, and expletives heard on the video – RuFF page.

Thank God it wasn’t humid, otherwise all of that sand would’ve stuck to ‘everything’! That sandbag though! I need a better shell for the sandbag insert. It was tough to grip for the clean, and it began to rip from the start of the workout. Fun!

Any kB swings wearing a vest will burn the inside of the forearms due to the arms running the vest on the bottom of the swing portion. So, just suck it up and keep moving. There are ointments, two Advil’s and hydration for that once you’re done. 😉

Truly a great time had sweating, hurting, muscles screaming, and gasping for air for a R.E.D. Friday!

We Honor You!
