Today: Back floats and naps, box jumps and lunges.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]After a quick back float in Boothbay Harbor, I’m back and better than ever probably just my same old self.
Salt water is good for your soul. So are naps, especially when you have a Frenchie to serve as your alarm clock.
We were only Downeast for 48 hours before returning to the city, but we made sure to get our fill of swimming, lounging, and snacking.
Nick and I had to get back to Boston for our day-long Pre-Cana (marriage prep for Catholics, required if you’re getting married in the church) on Saturday. And, um, we were also anxious to catch as most of the Crossfit Games as possible. God before wods, though… obviously.
I am in awe of how strong, fit and focused all of the competing athletes are. Watching various parts of the Games served as great motivation. We hit up Crossfit Southie together on Sunday morning and, though I am still scaling my workouts on the easier side, I completely crushed it, finishing in 6:17. Apparently I have a strong affinity for box jumps and lunges.
They’re almost as much fun as back floats and naps. Almost.
Also On Tap for Today:
- Viewing our engagement photos 🙂
- A food lover’s guide to Boston
- Oh, deer…
What was the highlight of your weekend?

How was the pre-Cana class? I’m planning on taking that if/when I get married. Which program did you do?
