We are here in the mud of things.

We are 10 days into a life we have never experienced before, nor were mentally or physically prepared for.

This is the time we need each other the most. We need each other to lift us up, to check in on us, to check in on others. To be emotionally, mentally, and perhaps even spiritually, connected when we are the most physically distant we have ever been in our life. This is the time to be engaged in your larger community, your 782 family, through social media, Zoom workouts, SugarWOD, phone calls, FaceTimes, anything and anyway you can to stay connected.

It is also the best time to check in on old friends. To look up a number and give a call to someone you haven’t heard from or spoken to in months, years, heck, even decades.

This is also a time for self reflection. To check in on yourself. To be patient with yourself. To take care of yourself, having compassion with yourself. Journal, video blog, sing, write, draw, create, or do absolutely freakin’ nothing sometimes.

Right now is when it becomes real. The social distancing. The quarantine. We were not ready for it. But we have to be and we learning to adapt to this new life because we can. Because we can. use this time to grow as people. To be the best versions of ourselves in a time of crisis. Because we have the support of one another, where everyone is now mentally helping and pulling for one another. Let’s work together to make it through as one, from a distance; we got this.

Few announcements.

Make sure you get your Make A WOD contest entry in by Sunday night at 5pm AST. Prizes we will awarded to the top entries and we will get to experience a week of amazing programming from some of you amazing people.

Tomorrow from 2 until 3 I am going to be at 782 Athletics for anyone who does not have any gear and is looking to get one or two pieces. I will be doing the same thing at CF782 from 330 to 430. We do not have much left, which is great, means it is getting used! But we have had a few people reach out and doing what we can for them!

Also this weekend Mike and I will be doing an inventory analysis of all the gear we have left and what are next steps are for the gear. Early next week we are going to be doing a take back of any gear you do not find yourself using that you think other people would be able to use. We will be giving out those details on the weekend, but think about others and think about the gear you could part with and we will be collecting gear in a similar fashion to the way we gave it out and the be redistributing it later in the week.

Also doing a list up of books to read and local businesses to support over the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions please shoot me a note.

As well for Saturday night entertainment we are going to be doing a 782 Live Zoom Trivia!

Details will be released tomorrow, but book that night off to join in on some fun!

Saturday Live workout will be at 10am again and next week we will start up our specialty classes with Mike Peterson doing a running tutorial/class on Monday (giving you running workouts to do throughout the week). Charles Sanderson is looking to do yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday in the morning and Harrison will be doing a physio session most likely on Wednesday. Mike, Sam, and I will be doing some goal setting work on Friday and into the week and we are still sorting out some nutrition work.
