So....did the whole WORLD decide to take yesterday as a rest day? Was Wild Bill's programming just too much for you kids this week? Talk to me goose!

The workout yesterday started with some heavy back squats. Under Bill's watchful eye, we saw some EXCELLENT squats yesterday. Every now and then, we as coaches learn some fun trick for you kids to try, and the latest squat form drills we have been working on really seem to be helping. I have also started making people take off their shoes while they squat. You see, with squishy shoes, it allows you to "fall off" the side of your shoe, with all the weight on the inside of your foot. Just TRY and do that without your shoes on, buddy!

The metcon was a fun combination of thrusters, push-ups and broad jumps. Lean Jeanne wasn't so sure she could actually jump the prescribed 5 feet, but she was LEAPING 5 feet + every single time! Great job girlfriend!

We are only one short day away from Fortapalooza. I'm SO EXCITED that I can  hardly contain myself! Can everyone do me a huge favor? Please start doing your stay-away-rain dances for me. Thanks. One thing that I'd like to point out about Fortapalooza is the parking arrangements. Please PLEASE don't park on the grass along the driveway. If you would kindly pull all the way up the driveway, and down into one of the horse pastures, that would be best. We have Mr. Z's approval to park in the pastures in order to spare his perfect lawn.
