Youch!!!!

Wednesday night was roller derby practice.  Skated from a little after six to just up to nine when one of my fellow fresh meaters went down and broke her ankle in three places!  My heart goes out to her!  It is so frustrating to have a goal that you are working towards and then get a huge obstacle placed in your way.   Her will is strong and I know that she will pull through this and be on her skates again. As for myself, even though I fell my fair share of times at practice, I am proud to say that I always fell correctly (no new bruises!).  This was a big step for me.  Being on my skates is feeling more natural every time I skate and I am confident that my skills will just keep improving.

Thurs, July 21st

4 rounds
8 thrusters 135#/95#
8 burpees
8 power cleans
8 pullups

time 23 something????  Out of town and forgot to look closely.  I did all of the moves as rx just with 65#.  This wod was especially hard on my breathing.  The moves themselves were just fine, but I needed time in between to breathe.  Don't ever take the ability to breathe for granted.

It's now Friday and I am in the Minneapolis hanging with my friend Traci and waiting to run the Warrior Dash on Sunday.  Got a shitty wake up call this morning telling me that my GI Dr appointment that I had bee waiting well over a month for has to be cancelled and rescheduled for Aug 14th.  Cannot express how mad, frustrated, and sad I am. I have been yearning to go to this appointment and get things figured out with my throat/breathing issues.  Guess I will be suffering for another three weeks at least.  Mother Trucker!  Anyhow, must press on.  Warrior Dash will be fun.  Hopefully my breathing will be somewhat ok.  Pictures will surely follow.
