Romp to Stomp

Last weekend I participated in Romp to Stomp. It was the first time in my life I did snowshoeing. It was fun and exciting and i did a 5K. I asked my parents if I could do this again. That weekend I also stayed at Cooper Spur and snowboarded. CGN Cy will be proud of me to know that I “practiced” tricking by doing a front flip with my snowboard.

P.S. I represented AHAMA as best as I could by wining 1st place in kids race.

Update and Thanks

Hi everyone - a quick update on John's grandpa - home from hospital with a heart monitor for another week. Doing okay but lots of coordination to do with home care the social workers. We are hanging in there but I have to say, there is nothing like LIFE to throw you off course when it comes to training! Wed night class felt good - though I was sorry we couldn't test. We are anxious to get phase 1 under our belts. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and support.

Tomorrow morning Josh is competing in the Battle of the Books so I can't come run with the candidates - good luck! I will those of you still around after noon during demo team....

Lacking...inspiration?

I'll be honest, the only reason I'm posting this blog is because I need to. I don't want to get behind in journal entries and then have to do a bunch in two days cause I slacked off. Problem is, I'm really coming up with nothing (meaningful) to write about. Lame, I know. And yes, I read the other entries but still...nada.

Numbers is tomorrow. I feel pretty confident about them, honestly.

Dang it, need some inspiration of some kind to write better entries. :/ Hate posting entries like this.

Phase 1 Done! / Thankful

     Phase one is done and last nights class was awesome! I decided to put a little more requirements into phase 2 for myself! One of the extra things I added was to do ten journal entries and two environmental acts. Not a whole lot that changed, but it still will motivate me to get things done! I also wanted to blog about what happens here in the states and out side of the states. So, here is an interesting fact that I learned today: Did you know that every 4 people in one household uses over 80 gallons of water a day while some people in Africa only use 2.5 gallons and on top of that woman spend 8 hours a day just looking for it. So be thankful for what you have!
  Just an interesting fact I wanted to leave you with!

Everyone did great on phase one! LETS KEEP ON KICKING!

Last night class

i was tired last night when we were in class but it was a good class. i thought we were going to do some ground stuff but no. but, thats okay. i till had fun. im not going to classes next week because my moms going to baltimore for work. so see ya guys!

outta here...

i'm off to b-more (baltimore) on sunday for a week.  it's always tuff getting training in when traveling.. especially with a time zone change!  that 3hrs ahead really takes it out of me and it isn't until wednesday night that i finally get a good nights sleep... by then i have to turn around and come back and start the jet lag process all over again.  Ugh!  i'm not too worried about the conditioning, as i always make sure i run, it's the rest of the stuff that seems to get set aside until i get back.  i shouldn't need to much room for the 4plus (my fave... jk!) though, so i should be able to get some reps of that done in my room. 

see some of you on saturday... numbers day!! 

Phase 2

Just a short note tonight. K, so phase 1 testing had me stressed. Everyone else seemed pretty comfortable with it and ready to get it all done, but I was ready to hide under a rock. But we got into it, I knew what I needed to do and it all worked out. I did my best and only one bad goof-up (never never watch someone else doing a form... It distracts you and the next move goes *poof!* right out of your brain). Aaaanyhow.... It's onto phase 2 now. But... I did sew my gold star onto my belt tonight... I was so soo sooo proud of that gold star, but if you tell anyone outside of class everything we all went through for those stars, they give you this blank stare like you started speaking Chinese to them, they smile, and then they say something noncommittal like, "That's nice..." Totally takes the gusto out of it... But you know what you went through for that star, how hard you worked and what it means to YOU. Dare to Dream ... ;)
