For those who have wondered what's been going on in my ninja training, the answer is not much. After training so hard for a year after competing in season 9 and getting myself to an incredibly high level of performance, I submitted this video for season 10. A producer told me it was great, but ultimately I didn't get the call. That took the wind out of my sails. TBH, I haven't even watched season 10 😕 and didn't submit a video for season 11.

Thankfully, after moving to Oregon, I have been able to focus on things that are more important. Maybe my passion will return at some point. I don't have the time to train like I used to, and I hate to do things halfway, so I wasn't interested in competing this year because I knew I wouldn't be at the level I was before.

Proverbs 19:21 says, "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." I'm thankful for that and find my joy and contentment in God, not

Do you ever find yourself gasping for air after an obstacle and realize you didn't breathe the entire time?

Practicing rhythmic, consistent breathing patterns will give you an extra edge and help take your training to the next level.

If you have looked at the website this weekend, I apologize for there not being new workouts. Things got crazy busy with an Ultimate Backyard Warrior competition and preparing for the Haiti trip with World Orphans. I will not be posting WODs through 11/21/17 because of the Haiti trip. Use these days to find workouts you haven't done yet, redo workouts you've already done and check for improvement, or use the workouts to spark new ideas for yourself. Have a great week!
