Lazy

It sure seems like forever since I've updated my blog.  Sorry to the 1 person who follows me, I guess I got lazy when it comes to posting.  It's been 5 weeks since I have posted and really all I've been doing since qualifying for the Regional event has been training.  Outside of my work of course.  Let me break down the past 5 weeks, it will be brief I promise.

The week after Sectionals I got right back to work, had to open up the gym bright and early that Monday morning and I did take the day off as I had just completed 4 body wrecking wods.  On Tuesday I couldn't stay away from strength night though and got right back on it.  My body was not fresh but I plugged away for the week and then took two rest days the following week which aided in my recovery.  That first Saturday was my first trail run of the year in the D.IN.O. trail run series.  It was a muddy mess.  I finished 24th out of 400 and was happy to be done.  The mud was ankle deep for a large majority of the course.  I'm okay with some mud, but the extent of this slop was crazy, it was like running in quick sand.  People were losing shoes it was so bad.

The following week was more training and work.  Work has been going pretty well lately, I've really been pushing for my new job description, which is still being processed.  Hopefully it is finalized by the 1st of May.  It's been a year long transition and I'm very ready to have the switch/title/JD completed.  I have been working on a lot of different video projects and brain storming for new ones.  I've had some help with events going on at the school, and we've got more on the books this week to keep me busy.  I am also gearing up to do a spotlight video on a graduate and one of our advisory board member's new restaurants.  These two videos are going to be awesome. 

The last couple weeks have been a blur pretty much, as I've ramped up my training and have included more tasks to prepare for Regionals.  I signed Teresa and I up for Yoga classes and our first class was last week.  The class went well, and I am really looking forward to working on my flexibility and enjoy flowing with my body and the calming effect I feel from Yoga.  Last week I also attended an adult gymnastics class and it was a great experience.  I worked on the rings some more, my muscle up is getting stronger and I'm starting to link them together.  I also worked on some back hand springs, back tucks, and just basically played for an hour and a half.  It was a fun experience and I hope to make it back up to Interactive Academy for some more play time this spring and summer.

I've also purchased a 1/4 slab of Beef and it's to be delivered within the next couple of weeks and it's good knowing that we're supporting a local farm, eating healthier meat that is grass fed, and saving money by buying in bulk.  I've been getting a lot more of our food from Farm Fresh Delivery lately and supporting another local business. 

Okay,  I know it's not a thorough explanation of what journey's I've been on lately, but it will do.  If you want to get the full version call me or send me an email folks, you know how to get a hold of me.  I look forward to running into you somewhere down the line.
