When I got home from work today, I was feeling a little grumpy due to the snow and freezing rain pelting my face.  But then I opened my mailbox to a mysterious package from Rodale Press.  Clearly, that peaked my interest and made the non-existent sun shine a little in my mind.

When I opened it up I found a letter that I had won a raffle at the Runner’s World Half Marathon and Festival!  A signed T-Shirt and book from Alberto Salazar!

Such a cool prize!

I have to admit this turned my day right around and I am so excited to add it to my growing collection of running memorabilia in my home gym!  Yay Yay!

I didn’t have time to dwell on my excitement for too long because I had to hit up CrossFit for today’s workout.  I have gotten some emails and messages about posting my WODs and I am happy to share the ones from my box but I know a lot of these are not conducive to home workouts.  Therefore, I am going to try to post adjusted ones for home the best I can.

Remember, I am not a trainer, but I will try my best to match up similar muscle groups to get a similar workout using affordable home workout gear (i.e. jump ropes, dumbbells, etc..)

Here are some instructional videos to get started:

Dumbbell Cleans:

Hope you get a good workout in!  Hang on friends only one more day until the weekend

Question: When you don’t make it to the gym do you try to modify a workout for home using what you have in the house?
