I've never needed to go to #OrangeTheory more than I did today. We've just been through a massive round of layoffs (25% to 30% cuts across the board) at work this week and I just barely survived it. By which I mean I was expecting the axe to fall all day yesterday and I'm honestly surprised that it didn't. I still don't think anyone is safe, but I lost a lot of good colleagues, people I've worked with for years. I was so very stressed out and needed to release it and Coach @kayhendi at @otfsyosset helped a lot. Endurance day, so there were longer blocks. I tried to go for heavier weights on the floor, but I was happiest with the treadmill during the run-row. We started off with a .5 mile run and I decided to go for an 8mph pace (in keeping with my goal of doing the next #MileChallenge at that pace). I felt pretty good so I'm confident about kicking it up a notch or 2! #otfsyosset #otfnation #orangetheoryfitness #basepushallout #emptythattank #fitfam #keepburning #morelife (at Orangetheory Fitness Syosset)

#OrangeTheory #MileChallenge at @otf_harboreast this evening! I ran it in 8:22. If that's not a PR for me it's close. And I followed that with a few all-outs at 12, which is as fast as the treadmill goes. Feeling strong! #orangetheoryfitness #basepushallout #fitfam #keepburning (at Orangetheory Fitness Baltimore - Harbor East)
