Ok guys some of you have asked about PROTEIN, some of you haven't but still need to know b/c you should ALL be taking it POST-WOD. I usually say any kind of protein is good but I've tried something that I really believe works. PROGENEX Recovery. Click the link to the right and type in the code "2717M" to get 10% off your order. This protein is broken down to a much finer state than other protein so it gets into your muscles much quicker (like within 15 min). I would say that I have been training long enough to know when something feels different and this really has made a difference in my recovery.
For instance, a couple days ago I did a heavy squat workout in the A.M. and in the P.M. I did this wod:
6 sets; rest 6 min b/w sets
30 sec amrap CL & J, 135
30 sec amrap Double Unders
30 sec amrap KB Swings, 70#
30 sec amrap Burpees
This 6 min rest really allowed the lactic acid to build up in my legs and by the end of it I was absolutely smoke and my quads were fried! I was like well this is a perfect time to really put this progenex to the test. Thankfully, I had already mixed the drink before that so all I had to do was drink it. I had the drink and stretch a little bit, stood up after about 15 min or so and literally my legs felt recovered. AND I was not sore at all the next day and when I had to hit my conditioning wod of 10 min row, rest 10 min, 10 min row the next morning my legs felt fresh.

So I recommend you to try it. I like the chocolate, I've tested the vanilla and did not like it at all but if you think you'd like it better than go for it. Please let me know what you think if you get it and try it.

She said YES!!!

About a year ago I met Reagan Tisdale at a college retreat called the "Journey". On December 10th we went on our first date. Those of you who know me and my personality well pretty much knew after that night I knew who I was going to marry.
That night we went to Canton to look at the Christmas lights. While we were down there walking around the square a man on a bike rode up to us and told us his story and asked for help. I gave him the cash I had on me and told him we would pray for him. He rode off and we prayed out loud for him and his family.
We knew that God was extremely present in our relationship at this time, this moment has been very significant in our lives for numerous reasons. Not to mention after he rode off and I looked in her eyes I KNEW she was the one for me.
Skipping forward to October 8, we were going to eat with my parents in Canton. We park and walk around to the spot on the square where we met our bike friend, we stopped and I prayed for him, his family, and then for us and our future. (the plan was to talk to her after the prayer and then propose) I said amen and immediately got down on a knee and asked if I could lead her for the rest of her life and if she would marry me.... and she said YEESSSS!!!
My parents and her parents got out of a friends car where they had been watching and came and surprised her. After lots of hugs, kisses, and pictures (and slurred sentences, Reagan was having a little trouble putting words together) we headed home for many new surprises of brothers, sisters, best friends, and clients.
We want to thank you all for your support already and thank God for you also. Please pray for us and for God to continue His work in us. We do not want this to be about us. God is in charge, God deserves all the Glory. We want all of our actions and words to be giving Him glory. Pray for wisdom, patience, peace, knowledge, and guidance in our hearts and minds.
