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.

Giving back to the community is such a good feeling! Good for you!
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.
