<p>Good morning!  This evening we head for Arizona, to visit my mom and dad.  Can't wait!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First we have to pack, and I need to get a run in.  Miss Sunshine is such a good reader that she can sit next to me and read over my shoulder now as I type on the computer.  Yippee!</p>

<p>It was the best of runs, it was the worst of runs...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Chinook got rid of most of the snow, but what was left when it collapsed turned to ice, and then we had a skiff of snow last night.  Not good.  Then there was the wind.  Not good.</p>
<p>I fell.  Not bad, but darn.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the good side, hills, porcupines, deer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the bad side, slow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the good side, beautiful crescent moon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4.13 miles in 41:45</p>
<p> </p>

<p>~~~waving to miss sunshine~~~</p>
<p>Have fun in sunny, warm AZ!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>note to jenna,</p>
<p>I was able to open that link from yesterday to view the HERO WOD.</p>
<p>Holy barbells, Batman!</p>
<p>There is no way that I could do 20 reps of several of those lifts with 65lbs....shoulders would buckle on the jerk press and overhead squats, elbows would blow out on the 65lb upright row.</p>
<p>Congrats to your fitness abilities if you're able to do that weight, Jenna; and WHO CARES how long it took! <span><img alt="icon_salut.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1324476602328_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></p>

<p>Nothing like a (to me) early morning phone call on the first day of Christmas vacation. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh well lots to do today, so I am looking at it as a blessing, I just wasn't seeing it that way through blurry vision  at 8:03.  Very funny because at about 7:00 I sort of woke up to realize that neither the substitute teaching computer nor my teaching friends were going to phone me today, then the next thing I knew the phone was ringing, and I remember thinking "no, it is not a work day is it?"</p>

Hi! me= sleepy. So much to do at home and nothing to do here at work... yet I can't leave!<br><br>
Thanks Porty! I can do the weight (but it hurts!) <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> When I first started this just over a year ago, I could barely do the overhead squat with a PVC pipe (heck, I had never, ever completed a pushup and couldn't do one on my first day). I could do the deads but it was hard. It was all hard. Several times over the last few months, we've been messing with Clean and Jerks and I got 30+ C&J at 80 to 85 lbs... so on Thanksgiving morning this year, I was hanging with my friend and our workout was as 15 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) of 12 deadlifts at 100# and 12 ring pushups... so, after the workout, I was like... I wonder if I can get this overhead... and sure enough, I cleaned it easily and jerked that puppy overhead. I almost peed myself I was so happy <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
I wish we lived closer, Porty... you'd love this stuff.<br><br>
He took it easy on us last night. It was a 15 minute AMRAP of 9 Deadlifts @100lbs, 12 pushups, and 15 box jumps (20 inch box). That's a pretty easy WOD... tiring, but I don't need to puke halfway through.<br><br>
So, I have all my work done for the year. I'm ahead with no loans to work on. I get to watch youtube stuff <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Good times! I like to be busy, but this little lull is nice. We've been going almost nonstop for the last 15 months. I'm kinda in awe of the quiet.<br><br><br>
Well, back to youtube for me. You all have a great day. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Oh, and Way to get out there, Grizz!
