Good morning!

Sorry to be MIA yesterday. I hiked Mt Mansfield with some friends from work. I think we picked the most difficult route to the top, lots of scrambling up steep rocks. The trail was only 1.5 miles long, but it took us a good 2 hours. We then had a wine and cheese party at the top. Fortunately, we were able to take an alternate route down.

I did PTTP Wednesday night and then tried to actually snatch a barbell. I had some success with it, but need a lot of work. It's definitely a technical skill.

I don't know if I'll make it to the gym tonight. My upper back is giving me some grief (probably due to painting cielings and trying to snatch). I think my chiro had a workout this morning trying to adjust it.

Deanie - Great workout today! Have a good holiday tomorrow! I like the dress you ended up getting.

Rhonda - Hope your asthma is getting better.

Jane - Nice workout yesterday. I hope the rain lets up for you.

Waves to Marcy!!

Good Afternoon!

I did Tracy Mallett's Renew You Sleek & Lean today (first time). It was a fusion workout consisting of:

Seated warmup on a chair (I did it on the ball) - stretches
Ballet Bar
Power Yoga
Abs & Buns - toughest segment; ab work was tough - lots of teasers (boat); good pretzel segment
Upper Body Sculpt and cooldown.

Rhonda - When the weather gets colder, my asthma usually acts up. Maybe the rain did have something to do with it. When my asthma was bad (before I moved), I would use my inhaler before working out and I was fine.

Jane - Great workout but I hate jumpropes!

Gayle - Sounds like a great hike!

Deanie - Happy New Year! Great workout! WTG on the bbl get up sit up!
