Hi everybody. I hope your break is off to a great start. I know many of you will not have daily access to a gym this week. For that reason, we are going to post two WODs each day. WOD #1 is one that you can do in the gym. WOD #2 you should be able to do anywhere as long as you can find access to a jungle gym. Feel free to use either of the WODs are choose your own WODs. Either way, PLEASE POST so we know whether you are using them or not. If we do not have people using the WODs, we might take the following week off of programming and then start it up again after new years.
So here is what we have for Monday..
WOD #1
Row 5k for time
WOD #2
Run 5k for time
Post WOD and time to comments.

Rest days!
Give yourself a pat on the back for finishing the term.
Now think about what you are going to do to stay in shape over the break. If you live near a local affiliate, pay them a visit. If not, feel free to grab WODs from our blog or create your own. Regardless of which path you choose, make sure you are staying fit!

If you want to give any Black and Gold shirts to your friends and family for the holidays, hit up MAJ Miller. In January we are going to send our excess shirts back to the printer so they can sell them, but the price will increase by almost $10 each when we do.
