Finding Myself in Me

good girl

you have leaned, and learned, so much in 4 months, the weight training is really showing. And you have gone from a starver to an athletic, out in the sun, busting in the weight lady! how cool is that!!!

stay with the 3 days weights, cardio splits, and play day, for one more month, then we will re-write things and keep it interesting.

:action8:FF:action8:

maybe we will take you skydiving someday and you can test out that all natural wingsuit you have, you could glide for miles. ;)

08.23.09 - Skydive

Ever had to totally exhilarating kind of day?

The kind that is so cool... totally bit-chin.. kick a$$.. like WOW...and leaves you completely speechless????

I had this kind of day because..........

I did my very first skydive!!!!!!


OMG... I can't even begin to tell you the feelings... just so amazingly awesome!

The weather was great! The skies were beautiful! The instructor was way cool..


I can't say there was a 'best part' because EVERYTHING was the best part :D

Here's a bit of evidence

Waiting to go

And... my journey friend and companion... hands down... no one better... truly!! Being able to share the thrill and excitement... absolutely rocked!! Thank you so very much for sharing the experience!!!

"You'll never be the same" was the mantra... and it's no lie :)

I am soooooooo going back to do this again...hehehehe

I'm glad you two don't live on the east coast near me! I'm sure I could get talked into it with a pair like you around!

Well... FL is a vacation hotspot... and Z-hills is one of the best locations to do a jump in the U.S. so............... Sounds like you need a trip.. LOL

And... I'm fairly certain FF will have you up and out in no time :) Trust me... he has an infitessimal number of counter-answers already pre-planned for the barrage of possible excuses you could come up with...HAHAHA.. Besides...he didn't get to use them on me so you're the next candidate.. LOL


I lived far enough North for a long enough time that going anywhere above the Manson-Nixon line is NOT appealing to me at all..LOL (sorry...) :)
 
Well dang... looking @ this journal I seem to have slacked off posting anything since my jump!!

That was such a rush... how do you top it?? By learning how to jump a curb on a bike, of course!!! (and no, I'm not kidding either.. lol)

Falling for 60 sec from 13,500K feet and then floating down under canopy was no problem. Being able to lift a front bike tire to get over a 6 inch blockade was a daunting task indeed.

This is the kind of thing kids learn when they're 7-8-9-10 or whatever.. not me.. I had to wait until 43.. :rofl:

Then to celebrate said "jump"... I rode for about 20 miles or so. Part of the ride was pedal pulling - not pushing; and part of the ride was a wild goose chase.Little did I know the goose was closer to home.. HAHAHA Oh well... :) It defo made the ride more interesting

Dude!! Truly... a totally kick a$$ workout.. thank you for all of this:)

Oh... and btw... stop "guessin".. I AM worth it..LOL
 
p.s. change the vertical bench press to "bench press". We made that transition a while back, and i didn't change it in the routine.

and- you are doing your pullups with assistance now too.

you have come a long way in a short time.

OK...OK.. I was supposed to do a run..

Here's the dealio though. I went on a ride today. 16 miles from IRB (Indian Rocks Beach) down to PAG (Passe A Grille Beach). Followed Gulf Coast Blvd and I gotta say... it was pretty, intense, and ridiculously hot... and I really enjoyed it :)

Tomorrow is my "scheduled" day off, but I'd much rather DO something than not...gotta figure that one out and see if I can find a biking buddy.. hehe

I am going to do my run tonight after the heat dissipates and the mosquitoes are in full force... LOL Besides.. bug spray is yummy.. :rofl:
