Week 3 Day 5 (Abs)

Okay, before we start our workout... here's a random little update on what's going on in my neck of the woods.. Last night, when I got back to Glenwood, I could not make it over the mountain to my house because there was a GINORMOUS tree in the middle of the road and my poor little car would never make it over a tree. So, dad came and helped me cut the branches off the tree. He used his chainsaw to cut branches and I drug them off the mountain. I came home with cuts, bruises, and mud ALL OVER ME! Oh, and I did all of this in sandals and a DRESS! I'm THAT girl... 

Then, when I woke up this morning, the river was super high and nasty looking!!

But, Sacha and I went for a run anyway! Rain or Shine.. we are out there at 6:30AM.

(Poor Alyssa is sick today! I hope she gets to feeling better soon)
