She epitomized the Invictus mindset, never allowing her character to be diminished no matter how dire the circumstances. Kay would have celebrated her 29th birthday last week, on September 2nd. Please help us celebrate the memories of her contagious enthusiasm and indomitable spirit.

30:06 – scaled to FC walking lunges with 16 KG KBs. My shoulder was not happy with the kb resting on it.

Did 4 rounds and then my 9 & 6 year old decided they wanted to jump in with me. So paused the timer and got them all set up and we did the last two rounds together. Made the runs a bit slower but the workout a lot more fun!

35:20 – 15#KBS for lunges – prayers for Kay’s family. Def a tough workout. Spent the workout sending up prayers for her family, friends and loved ones.
