Short of flying to NYC or LA for KB workshops, this was another distant place driven to for a workout. On Saturday, I was up at 6:30am, had a quick breakfast, and was out the door by 7:30am. I took a nice drive out to St. Catharines, top down of course!, to visit and train at my friend Jennifer Hintenberger’s gym: Make It Happen (MIH). A couple of months ago I joined her Tough Mudder team which is now 27 members strong and today was the start of their Tough Mudder training which consisted of a boot camp class and 30 minutes of running afterwards. I thought it’d be nice to meet my team and get a good workout on. And it went something like this:

This was a killer workout! I literally couldn’t stop sweating and was dying at parts but made it through the workout and would definitely do it again. I even had delayed onset muscle soreness the day after. The most noticeable soreness was in my quads and thighs. Walking up and especially down stairs became a struggle for the next 3 days.
