Guess what I was doing??? Nah it really is not that crazy.  Every Sunday that it does not rain  – I drag the cart.

Love the cart.
Be the cart.

Started with 120 lbs for 12 minutes and I got it down to 7: 31 for 125 lbs.  Now working on 130 lbs cause I am not gonna lie….. I got addicted to 400 meters of fun.

Once again, I am getting ready for the next adventure. In April of 2017 I had enough courage and enough skills to jump into WODs.  I took every summer Friday PM off.  Why? So I could workout, clear my mind, free my thoughts from the magnetic powers that job likes to put out.  My mind was good, my stamina is slowly improving and I felt clear. Really clear.

Big lesson – take control of your schedule and do not negotiate with your life.   Best year I have had in a long time.

So this is what I did –  WODs a week plus Aimee once a week to keep my sorted and doing the list right. When you see all these small people lifting crazy weight, you know it works.

This is what Aimee makes me do – I swear it makes sense when I am doing it!
Now I track everything and even when I travel I have homework

I hit a goal this year 225 one rep max deadlift  (love this lift) and 150lbs back squat – getting hooked…

This is where I started and where I was going.

 

This is what I looked like way back when….not very healthy looking……but I still was having my adventures  – me and bibi juma

This is me 10 years ago. Canyoneering in Utah. I was 180 lbs then

what I am looking like now

 

and now

But one thing I still cannot do……that double under!!!!! UUGHHH –

2018 its happening!!!

 

But now back too my next ADVENTURE>>>>

The West Highland Way in Scotland, 157k from Glasgow to Ft William.  I am headed there with Wilderness Scotland.  

This is all training for doing the whole 500miles of the CAMINO……just a matter of time!

and can I say that I absolutely love my Sunday workout group with Rachel – the weight whisperer.  This group and their fun just keeps me positive.  You need those souls everyday.

I also had a great winter with my stained glass – check out my latest piece! A gift of gratitude.

and then check out these photos that Ryan from the gym took – OMG how cool!

But I did get slightly derailed at end of 2017/beginning 2018 – YUP torn rotator cuff

 

 

and so what does that mean – no excuse – They find me fitness.  So I am working lower body all day every day………

back squats, box jumps, kettle bell carries, GHD, step up with sand bag, bike, erg – they find a way to keep me strong and not let this be a setback and not let me be bummed – they scale for me at every workout… and may body is still strong, not gaining weight and continue to improve, ( but I swear my legs are tired)  But I am not sure my pants fit very well! Little tight around the quads! I am just sayin’

and because I still think I can do anything I added this to my workout plan

Five Boro Bike tour in New York because CF has convinced me I can still do it!

and I gotta be honest – I have no idea how many miles this actually is- I just trust whatever bibi juma says

I am filled with gratitude.  You are always where you need to be but I think now I need to go to Scotland and get me some liquid Ibuprofen on this climb – the real stuff and you cannot get it in the US. Really why not!!!!
