I am back from an AMAZING 3 week intensive Power Yoga Vinyasa Teacher Training. (more on that in another post).
For today, we wanted to recognize and pay tribute Justin Shmalstieg, his family, and to all who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
For those of you not familiar with CrossFit's Hero WODs (work out of the day), let me briefly explain. Hero WODs are workouts published on CrossFit's main site that pay tribute to a service man or woman who has passed away in the line of duty. These work outs are designed specifically with the person in mind, usually with movements or exercises the individual excelled at or enjoyed. Family, friends, as well as the CrossFit community can perform these workouts in their honor and memory. These workouts are generally harder than the normal CrossFit workouts by design. They really force you draw strength in just knowing that you can sacrifice a little sweat, effort, and pain to honor thier sacrifice.
"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
~John 15:13
Here is a video of us doing the work out:
