This is me doing things I never thought I'd be able to do.

I don't have any pages today - because I was hanging out with friends, enjoying their company and having a delicous dinner that I didn't have to cook.  I'm going to have a couple more days like this. And the mojo is rekindling so......... 

I haven't updated you recently about the fun I'm having at crossfit. This is me doing a handstand pushup - the modified version. One day I'll be on the wall or in the middle of the room standing on my hands doing pushups. And yes the snot does flow when your head is in this position. I can't begin to tell you how annoying that is.

And here I am pumping iron. Working my up in form and strength. Its exciting when the weight increases, the form is right and you can see the results. No flab under these arms baby.

And running I'm seriously not a fan of running. But when the WOD says run. I run. I'm in the red with pink shoes so if I ever face plant in a ditch I can be found. It always starts out like this. Running with the pack. And then ends up like this....and I'm okay with being lapped. I'm getting faster and one day.....

I won't be the lone runner. Or the last runner -  or the animal that will get picked off because the herd is thundering on. I ran my first 5K and I was dead last but my goal was to complete the run any way I could. I ran and walked it in 49:26. Next time I will run it all the way.

And there I am by the purple mat doing something physical. Maybe situps, or my personal NONfavorite - burpees. OR I could be tossing a kettle bell about. Its hard to say.

And instead of box jumping - I do step ups.

Baby steps in some areas and running with the pack in others. Whatever I do, I'm working just as hard as everyone else - but scaled just for me.

I really need to make a page. 

I love crossfit and I can't wait to wake up every morning and not only see what they're going to throw at me, but doing it and doing it well. Crossfit tests your limits and I love it.

 I'm making amazing progress and I embrace the challenge.

Completed 2 challenges over at SNC....

 I love 2-fers. Honestly I didn't plan it that way.

It all started out with the pattern paper challenge.

1 floral, 1 striped, 1 polka dot, 1 checked - I substituted

ledger paper for checked. And why not.

And as I laid it out with 6x6 papers - stitched

added some rubons over the washi tape and added the circle

with transparency and mats..

It did scream heritage.

Which led me to the afore photo. 

And then the journaling challenge.

 And how smooth did that work out.

You see I know who's in the photo - my grandparents.

I know nothing else.

Well except its spring or their clothes look springy.

This is in Pennsylvania- 

 And they are all decked out.

And not well off.

And they did get married in June.

(did you notice the pearls? pearls are the modern

stone for June). Clever eh?

Butterflies for spring....

And in putting all what I know together,

I'm assuming this could've been

their wedding day.

Since there is no one that can tell me. 

I can only assume. 

Sadly.

Get those stories while you can and document them.
