2 Weeks of Laughs, Love, and Living It Up!

This past Christmas, Jared and I were fortunate enough to take 2 full weeks off from work to spend time with each other and our loved ones.  

Here are some highlights from our trip:

Rolling around town in my brother's 1988 Porche.  

Working out in Ranger Garage Gym.  (Jared's brother, Jeremy's garage gym)

This is Jeremy doing a Squat Clean... he later PR'd!

We had sooo much fun hanging out and WODing it up.    We got to work out twice at RGG.  Here are our WODs:

WOD #1:  The 12 Days of Christmas

1- Burpee

2- Cleans (95,65)

3- Knees to Elbow

4- Thrusters

5- Push Ups

6- Pull Ups

7- Sit Ups

8- Double Unders

9- Box Jumps

10- Ball Slams

11- Jumping Lunges

12- Over Head Squats
*this was performed just like the song...1 then 2,1 then 3,2,1 and so on until 12,11,..3,2,1.

WOD#2:  1 RM Power Clean 

...then...

As a group (5 reps at a time) we completed: 100 Cleans, 100 Push Ups, 100 Kettle Bell Swings, 100 Toes to Bar.  

We drove to Guadalupe Peak to go on a Trail Run/ Hike.  It was so beautiful.  There was snow on the ground, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky.  It was perfect!  

We ran 3.5 miles up the trail to "The Grotto" and hiked back down.

"The Grotto"

The very next day...We got snowed in!

It was too cold to workout out doors, so we made a trip to Jared's mom's work for a WOD. 

WOD:

21 - 15 - 9

ROW 500m

DB Thrusters

These old dinosaurs cracked me up!!!

We opened some of our gifts on Christmas Eve Eve... check out my favorite gift of the season:

Although I don't have any pictures of it, we ran up the river trail along the Rio Grande a couple of times.  We concocted up WODs in which we ran about a 1/4 mile to concrete benches where we would perform various body weight movements.  I really felt the difference in elevation as I gasped for air... or maybe it was all the junk food!

  I was asked, "What is your favorite Christmas memory?"  I couldn't think of any one particular thing.  All Christmas' are so special to me because it is a time filled with love and family.  That is my favorite thing about Christmas.

My mom, my twin and me.  LOVE.
