Friday is here! I can’t believe how fast time is flying — it’s December 10!! How can that be?? Remember when we were in grade school and time seemed to stand still — when will winter break get here? when will spring break get here? when will 3p get here while sitting in class? Had I known then what I know now — I would have appreciated the lack of awareness that comes with youth.

Today was group training and it was just 4 of us — which made for a nice, intimate training session —

Last week I finished the PT station in 5:50m. This week it was like 5:09m! With some practice, I am finally getting the box jumps down and jumping in quick succession. Before, I jumped – landed. Jump – land and then something that Michael said to me during the summer clicked. I was focusing on the landing and not the jump! So I changed my focus and now with some practice, I can jump, reset, jump, reset. So I am not doing a full landing and have to reset, I am resetting while I land so that I just jump again. Like a bunny hop over and over again.  It really gets your HR fired up and it’s more efficient than just doing it the other way!

I found this Crossfit video – and the jump I am talking about is referenced as a Jump up and down —
