Things I have accomplished in the past two days
- At the gym yesterday, I did squats (ass to grass) lifting over 100 pounds!!!! 105, to be exact. Next time I go, I am TOTALLY seeing if I can do at least one with my entire body weight. Oh my god YAY.
- Yesterday also, I did for reals push-ups. This is exciting because I haven't been able to do normal push-ups (i.e. not on my knuckles, not on a bench or whatever) for almost two years because of my damn ever-broken wrist. This means it is probably FINALLY healing!!!
- I updated my rugby blog with the first three parts of my NOLA trip. I will probably dump the whole thing in here once I've finished (I'm still working on a summary of the ridiculous part of the weekend) but if yo uare impatient, it's up on the blog.
- I haven't actually made the appointments yet, but I finally looked up the doctors I will be calling to schedule (1) an "okay, so rugby is making my body fall apart here, here, and here" appointment, and (2) an "I am twenty-two, so could I NOT be breaking out like a sixteen year old please???" appointment.
Okay, not an accomplishment, but I LOVED this video: the national 7s team had to learn how to juggle as part of their conditioning, and I guess one of the coaches documented their "fitness testing." It is awesome because a) amateur juggling = hilarious but also b) omg those women are SO. COOL. I mean, look at Phaidra Knight (the black one with the Shoulders - you'll know who she is) - she is HUGE and SCARY and also? Probably twice as fast as me. *sigh*
