Happy 3rd Birthday Hudson!! Your mom is an amazing woman, raising a strong, independent boy, without a doubt :)
Holy cow. A bit of a change from what I posted earlier...
We got a freak April fool's blizzard on Friday, and were unable to leave for the tournament. I went to the gym with Lynsey and got a great lift in. Overhead squats, hang cleans, push up rows, pull ups & obliques... Love bringing new friends to lift with me, and how excited they get when they enjoy it. She's going to be joining our early morning workout crew :)!

Saturday we took off early and headed to Boston College. We played 4 30 minute field hockey games... Sunday was more of the same at UMass Amherst, 4 more games. All in all, we played 4 full field hockey games in 2 days. Needless to say, I'm tired. My achilles on my left ankle is sore, but really the rest of my body just needs some sleep and I'll be good as new. Today is a much needed day off, but I'll be back at it tomorrow, throwing some weights around with the girls!
