Forced Rest Day - Travel

Round trip to NY - left the house at 5:15 home by 9pm

East Dedham 5 Miler

Still a bit tired this morning even after a rest day but since I couldnt make a class decided to see how I would hold up on the old 5 miler course.  Felt pretty good

Faberge at the Frick

Faberge Logo illuminated on the floor

Quick trip to Pittsburgh for the Faberge Exhibit Opening celebration. The terrace of The Frick Art Museum was transformed into a Russian-inspired party. The opening night party featured a strolling dinner, and the first private preview of the extraordinary exhibition, Fabergé: The Hodges Family Collection. It was amazing to see all of the treasures these master craftsman created.  What was also interesting was the blog one of curators was posting to share what goes into putting on one of these exhibits.

I only wish we had more time to enjoy Pittsburgh but we had left the kids at home so it was a quick turnaround,

Feeling Better

So im feeling better.  Not 100% as my stomach is still not quite right but not sapped of all energy like someone had a 18 wheeler full of kryptonite right next to me.   Pressed for time I had to blast through the CFNE Competitor Strength WOD.  Challenge for me is that I dont have a good 1 rep max to go off.
