Earlier today I called Nate’s dad to give him details on the homecoming. As we were chatting I complained about being stressed and my face breaking out.
Without missing a beat he said, “Oh, Thera, are we having another ‘episode’ with our herpes?”
Well played, Daddio, well played.
So, in the middle of finishing up my financial accounting project, getting the house ready, party planning and heading to school to meet with a librarian about online research databases… I decided the best way to knock off some extra stress was to do a CrossFit workout.
I got to the gym and the WOD was “Michael”
Michael
3 Rounds of:
800 Meter Run
50 Back Extensions
50 Sit-ups
So… guess what!?
I got another butt sore!
Here’s a picture of it. I zoomed in so you wouldn’t have to see the whole ass.
How am I going to explain this one to Nate?!
“Yes, dear… While you were away I was doing Michael as fast as I could and I got a mean butt sore! Can you rub some Vaseline on it?”
At least I improved my time! Went from 27 minutes (June) to 22 minutes!

I was not prepared for ass crack/butt sore at 6:30 am while I eat my cereal. This should be a lesson to always read Thera’s blog at night…you never know what kind of material you will be viewing. Love you buddy! Good luck with homecoming. I can’t wait to hear about it when things wind down.
WOW…you went there and it was fantastic and pretty gross. Just have Nate kiss it all better
Try some aquaphor instead. I can’t believe you sometimes and I can’t believe I am leaving a comment about this!
i am impressed that you got such a good shot at the infamous butt sore, all by yourself! We’ve all had ‘em – i can definitely commiserate! and BTW, your abs look GREAT! you look awesome. thanks for inspiring us…
Oh my goodness! Seriously Thera, do you have a line that you never cross???? I canNOT believe you took a picture of your butt sore. It’s a good ‘urn by the way. Ouch.
I’m so glad Nate is coming home!!! Stop stressing. He loves you just the way you are. Just calm it down and enjoy the excitement.
I considered taking a picture of my last butt sore and sending it to Jaime. I’m not that good at taking pictures of my ass though. But don’t worry about it, somehow I don’t think a scab on your butt is the top thing on Nate’s mind.
Hope you and Nate had a great homecoming! Enjoy it!!
PS I know this probably isn’t the type of ‘bad ass’ you were shooting for when you started this blog – but I’d say that butt sore makes for one bad ass!
