Captain CaaaaaaaaaaaaaveMaaaaan!!! What a way to start a Saturday. Quick drive up to Bridgeport for my first ever MudRun, the Cave Man Crawl. A 5k run with 21 obstacles - tire runs, barbwire crawls, swamp runs, hills (SO many hills!), swimming, rope climbs, balance beams - this list goes on. I am not sure what was harder - the obstacles or trying to run while laughing so hard. http://www.cavemancrawl.com/Home.html - http://www.cavemancrawl.com/Home.html I will be doing that again for sure! ------------- Highland Games - The drama is so high, because the stakes are so low. |

Line drills, eh???? I guess that's doing the wfd turns in a line- I heard Mindy does those. Do you do hammer winds with the actual hammer??? Larry had me get one of those thick rubber bands for stretching- you loop it through a weight and that works really well for hammer winds. I like it. ;) Oh yeah! Major props on your Mudrun! We have those here, but I've yet to do one myself. :) |

Yep, line drills, seems they will become a part of my world on a regular basis until I get my travel pattern, speed and rhythm corrected. From down here I can't give up anything on form or technique. The evil of hammer winds is done with the women's light hammer of square ugly that I have. This is going to become a daily routine for me til my hand and grip strength are up to par, and my hammer numbers look a bit less... tragic? With the set up you are using is there more fluid movement? Mudrun was a hoot! There is a 10k MudRun in November I wanna try. Cold and wet and muddy - yep, sounds fun to me. ------------- Highland Games - The drama is so high, because the stakes are so low. |

Let me just say that 10MPH is an asskicker for a short girl! Sweet is not the word I would use, but I will be doing it again - SUNDAY!

Yesterday was the Stillwater Celtic Festival, hosted by one Jon Irvin. Fun was had by all. While I didn't keep nearly so complete a record as Matt did of scores, I do know that I PRed in light hammer and the rest of the day was a bit of a gut check about my consistency. Truly strange to have my last throw of the day be my best, but I had a good example to follow all day, Jamie. The lull in the season will be spent working on some fundamentals and strength. Today will be spent being a slug and trying to get rid of some of the most interesting tan lines I have ever had. ------------- Highland Games - The drama is so high, because the stakes are so low. |

Today's installment of Story time with B - Had a charming older gentleman inform my lifting partner while I was in the middle of a set, "Don't let her get too strong or she will think she is in charge." He then went on to say how very nice it must be to get to share athleticism across the gender line, women in his day simply didn't do things that would cause them to look as if they had broken a sweat or seen much sun. When he moved on to his next exercise he smiled at me and told me to keep on doing what I was doing, then proceeded to shame half the young bucks in the gym with his lifts smiling all the while.

Saturday - Stone and weight work
Sunday - more weight work complete with new tricks - Thanks Aaron! Adventures in Caber Making - Part One One of our girl's as a plot full of trees she wants removed, several of which could be turned into decent cabers for various classes. After repeated attempts to get the chain saw going, Kim headed back to the local Lowes to get further instructions or a different chainsaw. This left Miranda and I alone with the trees. A bit of digging later we discovered a handsaw! Some determination and swearing later - we pushed down our very first caber. The result: sixteen feet of cedar waiting to be shaped sitting in my garage! This evening's adventure: saws-all and belt sander time. ------------- Highland Games - The drama is so high, because the stakes are so low. |

Finally we have proof that I am, indeed, a delicate
petunia - for the last week I have been laid low by a horrific allergic reaction to poison ivy. Yep, a little green leafy plant had me firmly planted on the sofa for a full week pumped full of drugs and covered in various tinctures and oils.
