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!

Too Many Lab reports!
Been a long time since I have been able to post because my days have been full of class lab reports and studying. Did still manage to get several good workouts in, but have not had the chance to write about them. Wednesday was a "light" day. Went of the mile loop around campus. Kurt decided to go hard though turning my day off into one of the fastest miles I have run!! That afternoon, after taking a mid term that went ok, we headed to the gym. Did an arm work out, it was good, my triceps were sore for days!! Thursday was back to the 3 mile run before heading to Berkeley National Lab for the day. Pleased with my run, but let myself easy up a little since the previous few days had been so rough! The trip was great, it was so cool to see the place I spent so much time learning about in the Spring, and being at a place where real scientists do real work! Friday morning we got up and headed to the pool again. Excited to have Jeff join us. It was great to have a second coach!! My swimming has gotten much better! Managed to do a full 50 m swim with flip turn and all!! Excited to continue getting better. Saturday had no structured workout but we spent the day at the beach playing volleyball. It was an amazing day!! Could absolutely go back again!! Today was a light shake out kinda day. Quick light 20 mins run this morning then a trip to the gym this afternoon. Sunday's are ab days for Kurt so I decided to see what I could do. I was quite pleased with myself! Started off with crunches ups, toe touches, heals to the heavens, twists and 6" 12 " with a weight ball. Then did some mountain climbers with a ball. Finally we headed in to the actual weights. The circuit consisted of side pulls with a weight (made my day on the second set when I walked over next to some guy who thought he was pretty legit, picked up a weight 5 lbs bigger than his and did the same exercise!!! hahaha love it!!!) broomsticks, knee up series on the pull up bar, decine abs and decline twists. Did not quite get to finish because the gym closed at 5, but none the less it was a great work out!! Hoping my abs are sore tomorrow, been a while since that has happened! Now dinner and back to lab reports!
