The girls take the stage!

The girls first quarter concerts were so much fun to attend this year!  It was amazing to see Evie take the stage with her show choir, and Lily take the stage in her first High School concert.

There is nothing like watching your kids shine onstage.  It is such a gift.  I have so many wonderful memories of singing on stage and I hope that these memories will hang with the girls forever.  It was so much fun to have so many grandparents and even a visit from Aunt Sue!

We are looking forward to many more concerts together in the future.

 

GGRX-Team Over 40, UNDERESTIMATED!

I don't compete a lot with crossfit, but I LOVE the GGRX competition my gym hosts every year.  Its a women only competition and this year it was 2 woman team style.  My girl Aindrea and I took it on and it was big because we decided to go RX, top division stuff.

We both had to work hard to develop some additional strength to master some of the movements of the division.  A 95# Overhead Squat for one.  I put in a bunch of additional time to get my overhead strength bolstered.

In my Clean/Front Squat complex I was targeting a stretch goal of 165#.  Not only did I crush that, but went on to complete 170#.  That was super cool.

The whole family came in and out throughout the day to cheer me on.  We had 4 workouts to complete and each one was a challenge.

I won't lie though, being on the competition floor with all of these incredible women is what its all about.

And these front squats, all 90 of them, will live in infamy!

Aindrea and I gave it all we had and pulled into the 4th place spot out of 9 teams.  I was so proud of us and look forward to the next opportunity to do it again!
