Good practice!!

For the first time this season I was able to carry the momentum of a meet into a practice!! I had a great day. Completely destroyed my arm cause i forgot my arm band...but oh well...Looking forward to practice on wednesday, next jump day, and the meet this weekend!!! only two and a half weeks til conference!! this season is flying by!!!

Semester Flying By!!!

This semester has gotten really busy, as a result I have not really had any time to post on here, sorry.  The outdoor season is now well underway.  So far I have jumped 3.15 at Washington and Lee, 3.35 at the Commonwealth duals, and 3.05 at William and Mary.  I am not happy at all with how today went...but now its time to hunker down and really get the season going.  The commonwealth duals were awesome, but if I want to be at nationals I need to be about a foot higher.  I know its there, I just need to actually be healthy enough to get real work done at practice.

I cannot believe that there are less than 3 weeks left of classes!!!  I feel like this semester just started!!  Looking forward to a great summer, starting with a trip to Ohio for Krystal's bridal shower.  Then 10 weeks of REU at Jlab!!!   So excited!!  Gonna be a realy busy but real good summer!!! Hard to believe it is my last summer as an undergrad!

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

Beautiful day outside!!!!

Today was our first full day of outdoor practice and it was absolutely gorgeous!!!  Had a nice meeting before hand, got to congratulate Rich and Dira on great performances at nationals this week!!!  Pretty cool to have a national champion on the team!!!!  Also, got some bad news though...team is really struggling in the classroom!! def got my work cut out for me!!!

Outside today we just warmed up and did some acceleration work.  Then we headed into our gorgeous new weight room!!!!!  Its huge and amazing!!!!!!  Just a little excited about it haha!  Maggie still doesn't want me doing lower body lifting since my knee is still a pain...She thinks it may be my meniscus...annoying!  Did upper and ab lifting instead.  First we had quite a bench work out to do.  sets of 10,8,6 and 4 increase the weight by about 15% each time.  I lifted 95, 100, 110, 120 lbs.  Then did 2 sets of 8 low rows with 35 lbs.  Also, 2 sets of 8 incline press, 50 lbs, same for 2 sets of 8 shoulder press.  Got really good abs done today work!!!  A sets of two min abs, 2 sets of 10 back extensions with a 30 lb weight, and did the vertical assault ab workout for the first time in a while!  Made me realize how out of shape my abs are!!!  But made it through it!!  Excited to get back in shape and get going on the outdoor season!!  Hopefully the weather stays this nice!!!
