So, a couple days ago, Patty and Jonathan were saying how "graceful" I was, and I busted out in laughter. To me, that comment is about as funny as the time I was called "classy". As I was choking on their statement, I decided to try and hunt down a video of my last athletic endeavor - to prove that ..no, the reality is, none of it comes easy or naturally. Now my last athletic endeavor was roller hockey - so it took balance, coordination, speed......all of those things -none of which I had! I did find the DVD that we made one season, unfortunately, it is read only, so I couldn't download anything, I even asked the original creator if he still had it on his computer.. Alas no. So, just know, I did try to track this down, so that everyone would understand why I look at them with questioning "are you crazy?" eyes.
Tonight was "Fight Gone Bad". 5 stations for a minute no rest between stations, 1 minute rest between rounds. Wallball 16#, Sumo DL Highpulls 55#, Box Jump 16", Push press 55#, Double unders. 3 rounds.
I did this one as prescribed. I was able to eek out a better score than last time -last time was 194, this time 208. I did pretty good the first two rounds, 75, 72. Then came the third...I just couldn't breathe...all there is too it. Last round I managed to squeeze out 61. Double unders just were not flowing tonight....shocking, I know. Someday I'll be able to string together more than 1 or on a good day, 2. I just know it!
I was playing around with pullups a bit afterwards, and I believe I may have gotten an inch or two higher on the kipping. Now, don't get too excited, there is a very good chance that this could have been a figment of my imagination, but there was at least one that felt higher. I hate being this close (at least everyone says I'm very close), and just not getting the last part!! OY! Positive thinking though...perhaps it will all click tomorrow....
You are graceful!!
ReplyDeleteACK...I just know you are going to get pullups before me!! But I will be happy for you...even if it kills me. ;)
