G’day.

We hope you all had a fantastic weekend and you are ready to continue the great work you have been doing each and every day during this unknown time.

I believe that is what we train for. Not only to be fit and look good and be physically healthy long term, but to take the skills we learn in the gym when we face adversity in a workout and apply it to real life when we face adversity like we all are now.

Many times in workouts we say, stay focused on what you can control, give yourself encouraging comments, stay steady through the hard parts, and right now all of those sayings apply to how you approach your day to day life. Focus on your routines, what you can control at home with your family or if you live solo, make plans to connect virtually with your friends. Being positive all the time I believe can be overrated, but being your biggest advocate for your own success is extremely important, so encourage yourself, like you would encourage those around you. And stay steady from day to do. Enjoy the silver linings you have found through all this, but at the same time, when you experience rough patches know you can get through this and you have an extremely supportive family right here for anything you need.

Right now many of you have seen we are planning and coordinating the “Maritimes In Motion” fundraiser through competition. This has been in a work in progress over the past few weeks and we are ready to roll out our first workout this Wednesday. What we need from you right now is to register for this competition under Team 782, with each dollar of your registration fee going to support those families affected by the tragedy in Portapique, Nova Scotia.

Go to comptracker.io to register and watch this video for more information.

As well if you have not yet go to cf782.onramp.online/schedule or 782athletics.onramp.online/schedule to sign up for a meeting with either Mike or I. This meeting is for every single person in the 782 family and we hope to meet with everyone over the next few weeks that is looking for some help in setting new goals, routines, workout habits, or just want to catch up for a chat.

With that over the next few weeks we will still be rolling out the running programs, but will be answering questions via social media about running technique, plans, etc. Same goes for the physio sessions as we will be doing a Q & A on social media for support in this area as well. You can visit YogaGrove to check out your yoga classes on Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday.

This week for our programming we are going to be going with the theme of CrossFit Girl workouts, revamped. You will be seeing a few classic workouts with a few tweaks that will allow you to get in a great workout at home. Find someone you missing pushing at the gym and give them a challenge to join you either on a Zoom workout or just a one to one FaceTime!

We are also rolling out our mobility sessions here and on SugarWOD!
