Thanks, Cathe for helping me accomplish this.....

Cathe,

I just have to share with you what I did this weekend, thanks to the constant fanny-kickings I get from your hand. I went to a women's retreat and was able to successfully complete a Solo Challenge. That is climbing a 20 foot telephone pole, pivoting around to face the opposite direction, pulling up to a standing position at the top of the pole, then jumping to a trapeze that was about 5 feet away. My balance, my strength and my ability to calm myself all came into play. I know that I would not have been able to do it had I not been working out with you for the past year. Here are some pictures so you can see what I am talking about.

The jump

SUCCESS!!!!!


Also, I could not believe the change in my cardio capacity! We went down a zipline and had to climb a hill and seven flights of steps to get to the top. I was the first one there and barely, if at all, winded. All those Imax's have been paying off!

Thanks, Cathe!!!!!!

Whoa!!! That is amazing!

Catherine, I'm with you...I couldn't deal with the heights!

Wow, that looks like so much fun.

Hey, you should try out for the Amazing Race. They always seem to have climbing / height type events to do and you'd be a shoe-in for completing it!
