After the meet this weekend and the tomfoolery and shenanigans (which were amazing!) Saturday, Sunday and Monday, it was time to get back into the swing of things and practice. J OHHH before I get to practice, I have to say I am the proud owner of a NEW winter jacket… it’s a double edged sword because I am excited about my jacket and kindof want to wear it, buuut wearing it means it’s going to be FREEZING. Not excited. I also bought a cooling rack and a much nicer spring form pan for all the baked goods I won’t be making because I’m dropping weight. Not excited. Getting back into the work schedule. Not excited. But all of the things I’m not excited about are necessary/inevitable, so I guess I need to get excited.
Practice for me, wasn’t at Kelly like it usually is. I got to train with Ellyn in her basement gym and it was probably one of the more (if not the most) productive training session I’ve had. I was focused, refreshed from the shenanigans, purposeful with each lift and each rep, driven and motivated by the fresh memory of the competition, and where I ended and most importantly... where I want to end up.
Here are videos from todays practice. Everything felt really good and I think a switch flipped with me because I can now feel (or maybe I'm just paying more attention) what my body is or isn't doing. Taking my time setting up off the floor, being tight all the way through the lift, being purposeful, everything came together nicely. I guess all my complaining these past 5 weeks about wanting to get better may have been slightly skewed... because I am getting better and I am better.. WAY better than I was before I got here. Thanks for all the hard work by my teammates and coach for pushing me to get better and helping me learn the lifts! Enjoy the videos...
