Hiking motivation
I’m obsessed with pinterest, and there are tons of different ways to use it. I’m not super into motivational posters, but a lot of the pinners are. I was surprised to find myself chanting this in my head during my hike today… I do not actually enjoy hiking. Everyone in Aspen does, so I have…
Butterfly
When I first moved to Aspen, I sort of stopped doing pullups. It wasn’t convenient to do them at my gym, in workouts, and I hadn’t yet discovered the most amazing pullup bar in all of Colorado. However, thanks to that discovery I am back on the pullup wagon, and made it my goal to…
It’s tough to leave this …
++= AMRAP 20 mins 7 HSPU (sub decline pushups) & 12 L-Pullup (regular pullup). … but I’m in Austin for the week! YAY!
“You swing that rope so fast it could cut cheese!”
I just can’t make these things up. Another hilariously awesome comment from another Bleeker Street Gym athlete (these are almost as good as the BMQOTDs used to be … I miss you Big Mike … and my witness Alex): “You swing that rope so fast it could cut cheese!” Is she secretly noting that I am cutting…
South Central Regionals Envy
All my friends are here. I’m having a great time at Food & Wine in Aspen, so I’m not exactly complaining, just having a little Regionals envy. There’s nothing more fun than cheering your friends on with more of your friends. I’m watching twitter and the games site lookin’ for updates on my fave people.…

14:56. Running around the block, inexact measurement but time was about right. All OHS unbroken. Wanted to blame the altitude on my slowdown in running, but I live here.

Off-Balance Snatch Balance
So apparently I’ve never snatch-balanced before. Yesterday’s .com workout was 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 snatch balance and I thought, oh yay! a skill we hardly ever work on! Um. Make the “never” not “ever” for me. After a light warmup, I loaded up 105#, thinking it was a great starting place before my “work” reps. Ha. Good one,…
