WOD

>> Thursday, May 14, 2009

After yesterday's workout, I was happy to see that today's WOD (workout of the day) did not have anything to do with arms.

The WOD was 5 rounds of the following:

30 Glute-Ham Sit-ups
25 Back Extensions

I did this workout on April 1st- you can read about it here if you want.

On April 1st, my time was 13:03.
Tonight, my time was 11:30!

So I took about a minute and a half off my time.

I only took a couple of breaks during the final couple of rounds of sit-ups. I honestly don't know how I could do that WOD any faster... I was keeping a pretty steady pace the entire time.

On a financial note, I sent $1,000 to my last shitty-bank student loan and updated the payoff totals on the right.

Below $19,000 remaining...

Oh, I know what else- Enterprise (where I work) is very involved in United Way and in fact, it's the only charity that the company will allow to come and actually "market" to its employees. We have huge campaigns company-wide and all sorts of stuff in order to encourage increased donations (i.e. competitions) and community involvement.

Last week I was asked to be the United Way "ambassador" for the Phoenix region of ERAC. I thought it sounded like a good idea and a way for me to give back, but that's as far as my thoughts really went with it. But today, I met with some of the committee members from United Way and learned more of the details and what my role will actually be. NOW I'm REALLY excited!!! I can't wait to start volunteering and putting myself out there. I've been wanting to give back for some time b/c I really do feel blessed for a number of reasons and want to share those blessings. This will open my eyes to what opportunities are out there.

You're going to have so much fun working with the United Way - they are a great organization. I'm very excited for you. It's a big deal to be asked to be an ambassador like that - congrats!

You're going to be a great ambassador. I have no doubt. I've been wanting a give back for some time now. The only problem is... no one's asked me yet. :)

Congrats on being to be ambassador for UW! Sounds like a great opportunity.
