Time to log

Thurs 5/7 

Good luck this weekend!!  

First off thanks to JVG for a spot to throw and encouraging women to come out and throw. Second thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for Ryan and sorry if I miss anyone's name but in no special order Lacy,Courtney,Dave Barron,Scott,Kenny,and Hapy(you guys are why I keep coming back!) and third to Hapy-much love and prayers going your way as you send them back for my pain. Ok games report-I threw like utter crap BUT a bad day throwing is better than most. It was nice to escape for a few hours. Laugh/Live/ and throw! I've learned to "Embrace the Suck". Distances were down by 5 to 10 percent but was in the sun w/friends(old and new) so was a win! Thanks again and I will be back w/ a vengeance.

Plan is to compete 9/1 evaluate performance and train(+ throw for sept to compete@Scotland,Ct in October 2013) Dan has mapped out lifting EOD sept and Oct using his Russian Peaking workout he stole from somewhere. On off days from lifting will condition/kb swings + throw).. Dan ordered a 21 wfd from Mike Landrich but don't on plan throwing it till Oct( will enter womens open at Capitol District) hoping to go 35 in 9 lb open stone,33 in 28wfd,60 in 14 wfd,73 in 12 hammer and 14 in 28 wob..of course will TTY and improve for 10/13.. But no better motivation than seeing predictions in black and white..let's go- time to bring it

Just wanted to let you know that Dan has been a great help and encouragement for me in getting ready for the games.

I competed in my first ever HG yesterday at age 56 and had a great time.

Fantastic to see you out on the field again!

Heading to the gym for Friday afternoon session-see Terri hasn't updated(or me for her either) for Tues/Weds/thurs/fri workouts. Will do in a few hours and kid from the gym(former hs thrower/decent strength but good athlete/kid) wants to break into the games. Going to the practice field for a tutorial in implement training and throwing(except sheaf(hate it and no uprights or high branches) or caber(someone cut my Maine cedar up hmmmm)) 

The above 4 w/outs were 1 st rotation of her 5 cycle leading into Rhode Island HGs..here recoverability is unbelievable Im finding it hard to stay with her gym motivation,and progress...love the gym but Ed wets on my old bones/joints..ok enough of my whining
