Conditioning
Today it was a fun conditioning class because SBN Dan was there. It’s great to see him train with us as a student not as our instructor. I hope he can come to conditioning classes more often.

So Much to Journal About...
I'm not really sure where to start. Today was such a beautiful day, and I made the most of it. Having worked all of last weekend and quite a few long hours at work lately, I took today off and made myself have a three day weekend. So far, so good. Much of the time, I always have SOMETHING to do...like many of you.
Today was a day of relaxation. I went for a walk through Forest Park with my best friend, and carried her 25 pound child on my back for about half of it (getting ready for the backpacking trip). We talked for over two hours as we walked along the trail--it was refreshing, as her and I normally do not get to spend that much time together.
Being outside in the sunshine and enjoying nature was exhilarating. It made me very glad I spend the time volunteering to help keep Forest Park looking nice. Not sure if any of you know, but the English Ivy that I help remove actually can cause trees to become unhealthy, and block out beautiful native plants such as Trillium (look it up). If the work parties didn't constantly work to remove it, the plant would take over Forest Park and the landscape would change drastically.
I'm looking forward to special training tomorrow morning, and I need to get to bed soon so I don't feel tired. Tonight's fitblast class was short, but intense. CGN Guy and BSBN Corey rock with their insane workouts. If any of you want extra conditioning, I highly recommend coming to fitblast on Monday and Friday evenings.
I hope everyone else enjoyed the beautiful day, and I look forward to training with you tomorrow!

Gonna Stand My Ground.
Perserverance. Perserverance is the key to anything worth doing. Sometimes things will get hectic with different requirements and the many diffferent things happening with dare to dream this summer. Backpacking, camping, tournaments, and other activities. I know I for one am going to have a very hard time getting all my requirements completed. I know I have to "Keep Moving Forward". Perserverance is something I feel is embodied in one of my favorite songs.
"I Won't Back Down"
[Verse 1]Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
[Verse 2]
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
[Chorus]
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
[Verse 3]
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I stand my ground and I won't back down
[Chorus]
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
No I won't back down.
"I Won't Back Down"

But I won't back down

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
[Chorus]
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
[Verse 3]
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I stand my ground and I won't back down
[Chorus]
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
No I won't back down.

Forms, acts and video journals
The Pacific Jewel is so close and with that in my mind I am pumped for competing! Every time before I go up and show my form I always get nervous and excited at the same time. It's a weird feeling, but I always do amazing when that feeling turns on! I can't really explain it, but I love it! I'm so looking forward for the earth day event. I'm going to count it as my environmental act! My form is coming along great I just have to finish the last few moves, pick a song and then preform it! I also have to post ALL of my video journals. They're on my flip camera I just need to post them.
Well That's My Week So far - Z0E
