Loving having a camera again!

Yeah! That looks below parallel to me Heather! High fives for your hard work!!

Took this shot in the mirror, kinda cool, and Tyler always looks good in photographs.

I know it seems like she's always just yucking it up, but Jolynn actually does train!

Nice set Ryan!

Got my camera!

Tim's been kinda feisty lately! Beware!

Alexa is doing a great job in the gym and we all love her!

Some of the afternoon crew this afternoon!

My friend Andrea put it very succinctly when she commented that if she lost her camera she would feel like she lost a limb. That is pretty much how I felt. I was telling Miche today that I never really found my passion until I was over 40, and my passions are lifting weights and taking pictures. I'm feeling like I'm on solid ground again!

In other news: Casey, Courtney, Kerry, Karen and I are competing at the WNPF powerlifiting meet on April 22 at Wayne Central School. We'd love to have some spectators cheering us on!  If you think you can spend a Sunday watching many people squat, bench, and deadlift all day, this is the family entertainment for you!!

We are going the do "Murph" on Memorial day and as a fundraiser.

...come celebrate the memory of a soldier, Lt Mike Murphy, to help raise money to send awesome care packages to current soldiers deployed to afghanistan, 4th BCT 73rd RSTA 82nd ABN DIV...

Matt set up a page on FB

 

More details to follow on this. Soldiers really are cool.



I spent a lot of money this week

Some jerk stole my camera and all 3 lenses, somewhere between Philadelphia and here. Some people are just plain shitty.

The seminar Casey and I attended was very good! Learned some new things, and also learned that I'm doing some things right!

I've ordered a replacement camera and should have some great pictures up by next weekend. I also ordered a set of farmer's handles. We are going to have some fun with those!

Happy Birthday Paul!

It was a great workout!



Nice DL Kerry!!

Nice

on 12.5 Karen, Matt and Casey!

If I don't see you tomorrow morning, have a great weekend and I'll see you next week!

A great day to load yourself up and take a walk!

Record high today! It felt like July! 12.5 is out and it is thrusters and chest to bar pull ups. You know they had to get Fran in there somehow. The gym is closed Friday evening and Saturday morning so if you want to get 12.5 done, it has to be tomorrow or Friday morning! If you aren't doing 12.5 you are celebrating Paul's birthday! He likes running, tire flipping and pushups, just sayin' :)



Another gorgeous day!

Coop, aka Mr. Math, stopped by on his spring break to hang with us for a bit! It's always so nice to have one of the original barn people stop by! The red eye is freaking me out a little though, Coop!

Tim picked up a little bling for his magnet collar in Saturday's aftermath!

I'm 48 years old and don't remember a March this warm, ever

This warm weather just puts me in a fantastic mood! The grass is green, the daffodils are blooming, and my muscles are warm when I'm working out! It is March in Western NY so it's not going to last, we'll be back in the freeze for a while, but what a glorious week!

Reminder!! Both Matt and I are out of town this coming weekend. I'm going to training in Philadelphia and Matt is going to Bragg on some top secret military business. The gym will be closed Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Otherwise gym hours are normal.

First tire flips of the year!

We got to play outside today!

Very early spring in Western NY!

Matt has a very special St. Patrick's Day party planned at noon on Saturday!



The house definitely has the advantage :)

12.3

How does her tiny body hold all of that weight?

Photos, links, and reminders

A whole workout in the attic!

Nice box jump!

This is Lisa. She just started last week and is a bit sore. Make sure you give her a warm welcome..and condolences :)

Pulling under!

Casey makes the best faces!

Love the hair!

Interesting article on hydration. Worth clicking the link for the interview.

Retreat is sometimes a good strategy. Read this article!

Exercise changes your DNA??

Reminder that there will be no workouts on Friday night and Saturday morning March 23 and 24. I'm attending training and Matt has to go to Bragg. Check out one of the vacation workouts (on the left, scroll down), do a long distance run or walk, go for a hike, play with your kids/pets, or just take a well deserved rest day!
