*peaks in back door* "oh good no one is looking... I can slide back in and it'll be like I never left" Actually I really missed all you awesome people! I'm so glad to be back in a place I can hang out with you all again... In case you wondered where I went, my life exploded as I moved from WI to IA (read: the middle of nowhere) this fall... and while I love people, this move was completely out of my comfort zone. All new faces, new surroundings... (and new gyms to explore ) Unfortunately my beloved barbells and crossfit box are fairly inaccessible these days. (I can sometimes get there 1x per week but not even always that *sniff, sniff*) BUT instead of feeling sorry for myself and quitting I'm carrying on in true assassin fashion aka finding ALL the playgrounds of which there are many SO ONWARD HO! 1- I want to work towards better control of my body while upside down.... handstand walks, falling out of handstands safely and without panicking ... (working towards one handed handstand too down the road of course) needs to be 5-7 times a week for 5 minutes at least 2- Running ... I will sprint at least once a week. 3- Core- since this is vital for all gymnastic moves, gotta get it stronger... I'm doing a plank challenge with a workout buddy (long distance but that's ok) it's daily. side thing- I really need to stretch daily too... fell out of this habit and I can feel it! not so side thing - do SOMETHING everyday ... it doesn't have to be super intense every day.. but MOVE! In fact I'm making this one the "if-you-don't-do-it-you-don't-get-credit-for-anything-else goal" (shouldn't be a problem as the plank thing is also daily, but this is added incentive) Let's GO!! (having some fun at an awesome playground...)
