make-up

Since the meetings at the Y have been every Tuesday morning I have been missing the regularly scheduled tuesday practice times and Thursday is usually a day off- but now Thursday becomes Tuesday's practice.  I hope y'all can follow that.  So today being Thursday, I went in to the gym and got my Tuesday workout done.  It went by pretty quickly. okay, a lot faster than when I'm with the team.  No one to talk to, no one to film, no one to distract or be distracted by.  I got going around 930-ish and started with agility ladder followed by some box jumps from a snatch starting position.

Those two exercises usually go quickly, but today, I got attacked by a box and will have a big ole bruise on my leg- probably just in time for the meet.  The only good thing about being taken out by the box this morning (which is always embarrassing, alway funny (when it doesn't happen to you) and only slightly humorous when you do it to yourself- and that's more of a 'I'm laughing so I don't cry' reaction) was that I was all alone and there was no one there to laugh at me or be able to remind me time and time again about when I fell on my face.  whew. no cameras in there either.  whew.

After i picked myself up I got to work.  Although things went quicker by myself, I would have rather had someone (Ellyn) there with me.  I was doing jerk balances (and I've gotten better and they've been more enjoyable then when they were first assigned in this cycle) progress.  BUT it would have been helpful to have Ellyn there to help me through some of the mental doubt (?) I had about my positions, skill, strength etc.  Having here there not only makes me feel better, but I can talk/think/feel out loud what, today I kept in my own brain.  It was a pretty successful day. and rdls. did them. didn't want to cry when i did them today-- so that's good- or it meant i was doing them wrong. but I think they were okay.
