FORTY-FIRST BRO SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT

It would appear safe to suggest that we can proudly say "Mission Complete!" With much fanfare and support Team CFTR successfully reached our goal of participating in the 2015 NYC Marathon. That effectively represented the completion of a year long endeavor that was the original impetus behind the creation of the Beards, Bulking, Bros, Bras and Boardings blog and workouts. This journey proved to be everything we thought it might be and more. As the post mortem on our journey has been conducted a few things came to forefront:

1) Some of us did a great job of bulking last winter, but for some of us this backfired slightly. We would of course make more or less the same recommendations for this upcoming year, but we always advise caution.  Be careful that this does not take on a life of its own as we all want to stay healthy and fit and not have to struggle with losing unwanted weight come the spring and summer of 2016.

2) We did not manage to do any snowboarding last year and so this year we would like to firmly pledge that we will in fact hit the slopes a few times and express our fitness in a fun and different context. We will keep you up to date on these outings as they come up.

3) Running is hard work! We fully recognized this last year and we plan to provide more resources to help all of us get better and more efficient at it this next year so stay tuned for details.

4) We would like to put together another group that is interested in training for the 2016 NYC Marathon. If you think you would be interested please let us know. Once we have an idea who might want to participate we are going to put some things into motion for everyone. That being said, being interested does not mean you will be obligated to participate it simply means you would be willing to consider it and possibly start preparing for the possibility. This will ultimately be open to non-CrossFitters and non-members so please feel free to discuss the prospect with friends, family and even co-workers and see if they too might be interested in embarking on such mission for the next year. 

5) This blog started off with a weekly informative post as well as a weekly workout post. Eventually the informative posts trailed off and we would like to correct that and continue to use this as a forum to disseminate useful and pertinent information. Please feel free to let us know what you would interested in learning more about going forward and we will be happy to address these topics as well as a bevy of others.

That is all for now, so without further adieu here is our 41st Bro Session WOD (a.k.a Bro Session #1 Year #2)
