Tod I am so very proud of you! It's been a pleasure training/working with you to prepare for this past weekend! You did BBOM proud! Look out Fairview Park another proud RKC is gonna put the hurt on you!!!!

Slacker Am I....seriously come on

Soooooooooooooooo I promised I was back blogging and then NOTHING....wassup......well I could give you the million excuses, but everyone's gottem and they all plain stink (a Bobism)......so I'll just give it to you straight Haven't felt like it.....LAZY summer butt! The workshop was GREAT - thank you again for all who attended - you rock! Classes/training have been strong....everyone hating me due to tactical frogs (open the hips baby - where the power lies).....Best of Luck to Ryan Rao on his Huge golf turney starting this Sunday (Junior PGA).....Heading on the road to vacation - Northern Michigan.....limited cell access so you may not hear from me for awhile as I'll be swingin away (iron that is) as well as pulling myself up on anything i can think of (damn pull-up) amongst the squirrels and birdies (whole lot of nature where we goin - not that kind of chic, but I do have a bed and running water so I'm set).....Peace out

Kettlebell Workshop

I am sooooo looking forward to a low key weekend (Very Thankful it's this week at this time....I learned a lot, but am so thankful to be sitting here dirt, sweat and smell free...for the moment at least).....Recovered this week well....rolling strong by Wednesday.....ok sorta strong.....where are all you people for yoga???? Come on it's tough stuff - need the flexibility - you'll be stronger.....Heading to Canton to see family tonight - yippeeee.....and I to bring my older two rats I mean jems (so joking) home......think they'll be thankful cuz my mom means business (they think I'm strict - I learned from the best I say....). Next Saturday, 7/11/09, BBOM is holding it's 2nd Kettlebell Workshop with David Whitley (IronTamer) and Doug Nepodal....gonna be cool....still spots available.....open to anyone. Invest in your body it will thank you!!!!! Contact me with any questions! Happy Fourth.....Power to you....

Tuesday again...

Sooo I really didn't want to get up and workout REALLY why not (slacker Ha), but I drug myself out of bed to do yoga....still feel a bit like a noodle but an improvement from the weekend Semi flattening - no pain no game (hate that saying, but damn it's true)....Dropped the kiddos and off to work for the first beat down....Whitley's Furnace workout - NICE.....swings and get ups timed....light bell is the recommendation - don't listen and you will pay...all about choices....everyone looked scared to death cuz they know when we return from a training/cert it's never good - FRESH ideas, Back to basics, Form, Punishment - all good....everyone did great, but then again not much talking! Homework: abdominal breathing, walking around the house on toes and then heels without bending knees - try it....easier said than done....worked in the afternoon on paperwork and bills (good times there). Lost the 2nd child (my 8 year old is seriously in his own world....good boy, but on his own agenda....) in the hood - found him...wanted to beat him instead made him read (NICE).....promised Bob I would train him (didn't think it would happen as he always bags out, but damn if he wasn't serious....form good - don't tell him that though his head might grow). Dinner, baths, bed, smores in the oven (gross - 2 batches burned - not a country girl)....HOUSE condition - still a disaster....

RKC II

I'm back blogging.....yipppeee! Just got back home from an Amazing weekend in St.Paul for RKC II....Meeting David Whitley, Kenneth Jay, Jeff O'Connor, Brad Nelson, The Snideman's, Sara Cheatham, Will Williams, Adam Glass (my buds George and Phil) and of course seeing Pavel and my team leader Andrea Ducane again was unbelievable in addition to many others from across the country and world....the amount of knowledge between them...my head is spinning....my body (oh we won't go there right now)....I'm excited to share everything I've learned....we have a lot of kettlebell work to do at BBOM in Medina, OHIO in order to continue to perfect our skills....I unfortunately did not get any pics to share due to timing which bumbs me out(we were on the field by 8:30am until 1:15pm back at 2pm and not done until 7pm....dinners by 8pm and drop in bed....oh and in between did I mention I was scrambling to pump as I'm still breastfeeding Lilly who is now 5 1/2 months - I am CRAZY I know...trust me the thoughts crossed my mind many times. I even text my parents to ask WHY....WHY these genes, Mom blamed it on Dad and he of course on her....Stubborn, Determined - NUTS).....hopefully Dragondoor will post some cool pics (of course Christine was my partner...totally respect her for her strength and ability she's sharp and talented...but why on EARTH did I have to be partnered with the HOTTY in the group....nuf said check the pics and you'll see....I must have reminded her 52 times I just had my FOURTH baby 5 months ago and she would look at me like SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO your point....not making excuses.....The point is I CAN HANG even though I'm a mom of a fleet....and occasionally soil my undergarments (if you're a MOM you so know - word).....IT'S ALL GOOD.....Stay tuned PROUD RKC!
