What have I been doing?



Well....
One thing... I upgraded in my choice of Christmas tree stores.
Two years ago I bought one at the last minute at Price Chopper.
Last year I bought one walking through Walmart. (very interesting story)
but this year I actually bought one at Home Depot.
AND
I Love it! it even came with a stand.
Christmas has always been my favorite time of year and I think this year is going to be a really nice!
OOOOH you want to know where the Chrismas tree is going since the new rower is taking his spot? It's going on top of the pool table of course. And I get to put my Lionel train track around it. PERFECT! I even bought little trees to decorate the tracks. I really wish I had a covered bridge. (hint hint)

Then of course I was brushing up on my "man"ly skills this weekend. Had a little mishap Thanksgiving Day when my porch step gave way from the porch. ?
Well well well that needs to be fixed and since there is only me myself and I living here now I suppose one of us has to fix it. "I" surely didn't want to.... it was cold out and for "me"... I'd rather work inside.... so I had to do it by "myself"! FIXED. Better then before! (sorry hon, but it is)



AND LAST but not least I am having fun with my back squats. I have come along way.
Tonight was a a PR 180x3x5! and Sunday was a good deadlift day. Also a PR! 225x1x5

I have to tell you before you view these videos..... I AM NOT THE MOST pretty woman back squatting. A matter of fact I think I age about 10 years doing them. But I feel awesome afterward. (Music was not my typical) sound either... for some reason Christmas songs are not for the lifter!

video to come.......

SO THANKFUL


Max (our new addition) and Stevie
Janet checking email


Turkey Trot Finishers!!!! 31:43
not bad considering it took
14 mins in the crowd to get to 1 mile

Stacey bumped a lady by mistake and the lady hit her!!! (YEAH)
5000 runners and the lady was upset
because she had Stacey go in front of her.

Reminds me of Jesus being touched on his cloak and
He stops in the midst of hundreds of people and asks
"who has touched me?"
Not upset but marveling at the faith a woman had
knowing that even if she touched his cloak she would be healed.

More equipment for CrossFit Beyond
(OK OK another toy for Joy)
I don't want anything for Christmas......ok

Did I just say that?
I was kinda hoping for things to go around my train track.

Where have I been?

OVER HERE! crossfitbeyond.com

I don't have much time to write about myself, my training or my adventures these days.
But you can find news of the people I've been training CrossFit to, what's going on at Siena and how the CrossFit for Kids is going down at Cutting Edge Sports.
