Pam, your CrossFit coaches didn’t do it, you did!
Welcome back Nik, sounds like quite a move!
Meggietye – that “outside on my feet” counts for a lot.
SW – good luck getting your moves before vacation – take those fuzzy little treadmills out!
I Ended up getting to bed too late last night. I woke with a nasty headache – I’ve been super dehydrated (drinking water all the time, but it’s not enough – emptying my bedside water bottle at night, yes, I do have a doctor’s appointment scheduled), there’s also a lot of pine pollen, which I didn’t think I react to, but apparently I do, and had beer last night, so I felt grim, but the show must go on. I decided to take my time getting out of the house, and caught the 6 AM bus instead of 5:40 – this cut my pre yoga run to 12 minutes, but I did it (7 MPH), and then a blissful yoga class.

Skill work today was squat snatches (not as nasty as it sounds, actually
). We were using pretty light weights so we could focus on form. I think I am finally getting the hang of them. They require a fair bit of balance in addition to strength.But even more exciting was watching my newbie gym mate finally getting comfortable with the square movement. It can be a little intimidating dropping all the way down so that the back of your thighs are resting on your calves when you aren't sure if you can get back up - I certainly have been there. But she finally got the move! And like almost all of my experiences with power lifting, realized that once you get the form down it is a lot easier than you thought.

Nik – “stupid squats” as Pam says “oh, the burn, Oh the results”
Pam LOL – I’m always telling my husband he can’t have certain words and turn them into “giggle words” don’t give him squat snatches, please! Balance is my weakest area.
Tunnrida, 2 hours is quite a walk
And Mai, yes, you can be fit again!
I arrived to an empty spin studio, and I was a few minutes late so I figured class cancelled (it actually wasn't, just no one showed). So I jumped on a treadmill. Since I’d come early for spin I had extra time so I set it for 60 minutes, and did it – 54 minutes of that was nine minute miles, I turned it down when I hit 6 miles, and did another half mile walking. Wow, high as a kite, tired legs, hoping for results!
