Laborious

Due to Labor Day weekend travel, this will be a brief post.

The plan for the people on the interval cycle, is to go back to 1/2 mile intervals.  Three repeats for the beginner group, four for the advanced.  That's it.  Easy-peasy, lemon squeezie.

Our very own Escalade is heading out to Colorado Springs later this week for her tryout with the US paralympic team.  Please give her a warm send off at TRY as she goes where few have gone before.  It is an awesome opportunity for her and she openly credits TRY and TRYers for getting her into her current fitness routine, so it is something we can all take pride in.  Whether it works out for future work with the US team or not, it is a moment to be cherished.  Cherish it Escalade, like a cherry.

There is a timely, and interesting, article that just got published at Grantland.com talking about "CrossFit, Tough Mudders, and the rise of social-physical challenges".  Grantland is an offshoot of ESPN, so I found it fascinating that such a major sports outlet wrote about Tough Mudders, Color Runs, and Crossfit, since TM's and Color Runs have been right up our alley (not our Ally!) this summer.  The article came to a similar conclusion I did - that they sort of come down to producing a good Facebook photo opportunity.

Lastly, I need your help.  Especially the people who are new to TRY this year.  Last year, I attempted to define a word on Urban Dictionary and for a moment my word managed to be THE definition, but it has since slipped to third place.  Please go check out the top three definitions of the word "hawkward" at this link and vote for my definition if you agree that mine is the appropriate TRUE definition of the word.  Honestly, the first two definitions deserve to be voted down, so feel free to do that as well, but mostly I am looking for up-votes for mine.  Actually, it is our definition of hawkward you are voting for.  Just as we helped Escalade on her way to her tryouts with the US team, we all have a stake in getting our hawkward to be the hawkward that the world knows.

Here is a snapshot of my definition in the third spot (notice it was defined by "TryTbone"):



Thanks for help...just do what is in your heart as there is no need to make this...hawkward.
