I have been quite the Slacker on this blog lately... As soon as I got home I was immediately crazy busy- per usual! I made it home safe and sound from California. As I expected it- it was hard to say goodbye to the amazing people I met there, and the great routine of working out, etc. I had established. I can't wait to go back and visit everyone! I did end up continuing my CrossFit workouts by joining a gym here in Milwaukee. Man was I spoiled at CrossFit Anacapa! Gym is A LOT smaller with way bigger classes (I'm sure by now Anacapa has grown huge!) so it has been a challenge to get used to it. But they are saying they are getting a bigger space soon, so we will see! I like the programing so far though so it is a win there. They do a lot of strength building as a warm up which I like. The dream of opening my own CrossFit gym might be getting closer. I went back down to my old Anytime Fitness here in Cudahy where I worked out at all the time before I left. The owner was extremely interested in opening a CrossFit section/program in here gym and was looking for a trainer. I am having a meeting with here early next week to discuss her plans, and see if we have a good fit to have me do that. I would likely run that for a couple years and then still open my own up when I get back to the CG area. They even offer certification reimbursement which is really nice because in order to get CrossFit certified it costs $1,000 ... Not cheap and another long weekend!
Well I got 2 days off when I got home (of which I was real sick for!) and was back to work that Friday right away. And it has been go go ever since. We have our huge inspection coming up at the base, we get hit for this every 5 years, and so everyone is in get things in order mode! Been working lots of overtime so the money is good at least, but need a break soon! My return to softball hasn't been what I was hoping! Team and especially myself are struggling. This weekend is the city tournament so I guess we will see what happens. I explored Cudahy a little more throughly once I got back down here too, and I must admit I am a little more excited about living here. I found a great bike trail, beach, pond, and park. I also have been hanging out a lot more with an old college buddy who lives here as well. We joined a basketball league, trap shooting league, and softball. Like I don't need more things to take up my time...
My biggest news to share is the addition of my new best friend Jax! I gave in to my desire for a new hunting dog and got a yellow lab. He has a great personality so far and I am very excited. All puppies have their challenges (Just ask Linda) but it will be worth it. Once Brooke moves in at the end of August he will be living with me full time. Right now he has to spend the week at Grandma and Grandpa's house...
Well not too much going besides work, a little play, and more work. Will do a better job of keeping you updated.
