February 4, 2013 I am lucky enough to have two wonderful roll models in my life. I have talked about my parents before, but today I have to honor them by wishing them the happiest anniversary!! They were married in 35 years ago today. I can be 100% sure that they had no idea what type of life they were going to lead together, what challenges they would face and how they would get through it. However, I am also 100% sure that they could not have gotten through the life that has been laid out for them without eachother. They are strong, they are passionate, they love eachother and I could not have been luckier to have them as my parents. Happy Anniversary Ma and Pa!! Today begins the first Paleo Challenge of 2013. We are calling this one Paleo Challenge II. This challenge, in addition to being strict paleo also includes eliminating honey, agave, maple syrup, greek yogurt and some other on the fence paleo foods that have been allowed in challenges past. I havnet done a challenge i...

February 2, 2013 I have been very happy with the new Saturday format. After talking to M and K I have decided to attend both the Oly class as well as the skill/WOD following. I typically spend a few hours there anyway when I can, so this way I have a program for the whole time. Plus, more often than not, the WOD and skill is based around something I need working on (cough cough... everything... cough cough). Snatches were feeling good during the start of the Oly hour. I have been really focused on my form and fee that even though I havent been able to stick my previous PR of 125lbs agian, I have certainly been more comfortable getting up there close to it. My clean and jerks have also been benefiting from this work as well. Of course in conjunction with the few Thursdays in a row that I was working on full squat cleans from the boxes as well as the first pull off the floor. Last week I was amazed when I got up to 185bs... and today I got under 195lbs! I shocked myself that I actu...

January 30, 2013 So, yesterday I happened to stumble back onto the “Run for the Diamonds” facebook page. I “liked” it when I had signed up for it looking to see if there were any tips for running oodles and oodles of miles… or perhaps what the course might be like. However, I found it to be a pretty stagnant page that occasionally someone posted something on (having nothing to do with the run).   As it got closer there were some posts about counting down the days and how excited people were. Finally race day, people were posting how inspiration it was to see all the runners, people posted pictures of people they knew and tagged the page so they appeared there… Other than that, it hasn’t moved much. I noticed that there was a post (because FB likes to tell me these things without my asking) that said “the finish line photos are up.” Oh boy. I never did write a post about the run. I was sort of in a blogging slump back in November/December. Things were going really well for me ...
