Amber tackles the Rope.

Oh Warriors!! Wear your knee socks, long pants, or tights today because we are going UP the rope! Avoid the rope burn that comes with bare legs.

In case you're in search of new dinner recipes, Jacob and I feasted on the following Paleo-friendly dishes:

• Chicken with Artichoke Hearts, Olives, and Capers
• Cumin-Spiced Slow-Cooked Pork

We have two teams of Warriors headed to Iowa City on Saturday to compete in the UIVA Warrior Challenge. If you're skipping out on your Saturday morning WOD, then cheer on Beth, Connie, Emily H., Scott S., Jeff J., Ashley, Rachel, and Jacob at the UI Recreation Field from 8 to 11 AM.

Today's WOD is a good one to go heavy. It's an AMRAP, so it's over in 20 minutes. If you get fewer rounds in that you wished, then you know you went heavy and challenged your muscles instead of your endurance. The doubleunders will take care of your lungs anyway :) Soldier on, Warriors. We'll be with you every lunge of the way!
