New heights... these are what I try to strive for in everything I do. This is my attempt to document the new heights I work toward as after my career as a collegiate track athlete, specifically a pole vaulter came to an end. I know there are still many new heights to be reached!

Gymnastics workout???
So today, after a moderately painful trip to the dentist, i went to work about 45 mins early and decided to workout a little before I had to start teaching. I did a quick circuit of stuff that I remembered doing so long ago... It ended up being a full body workout which was a nice way to wake up all my muscles and hopefully get them going again. I started with chin up pullovers, much harder than I remembered, did 10 on the first set, 5 on the second. Then I did 10 dips (both sets). Next was leg lifts, both sets of 10, much harder than I remember when done on the wall!! Then I did upside down rope climbs, i was quite pleased with how well these actually went! after wards was an ab exercise I don't remember the name of, I laid on the floor, held the support of one of the bars, and tried to lift my body up from my shoulders as straight as possible, i think both sets were of 10. Then I headed over to the beam where I did a bunch of calf raises, and 1 set of 10, 1 set of 8 single leg squats, i guess u would call them. Surprisingly, my legs were stronger than I remember!! These felt really good on my right knee, some of the strength it still needs to recover! Finished out the circuit with sets of 5 handstand push ups! Overall, it was a nice day. Great way to kill time before taking the kids to the bowling alley! Hopefully, I can get myself back on a more regular workout routine soon, but honestly since november I have not taken more than a week off, so I think my body is enjoying a little time to recharge.
