Powerlifting Meet circa 2014 I might be afraid of sleep. Or afraid of losing control of my time I’m awake, or maybe I’m just a whacko and let my mind spin in circles. I didn’t sleep much last night and I committed to being at the gym by 6. So, of course my restless legs […]

July 7th, 2016 Martha And by tomorrow…I meant in a week. Ooops! So this brings me to how I wanted to start by saying…my work schedule has been very unpredictable.

A little ditty, about me ‘n “Diane”
February 1st, 2013 Martha Last May I did a workout named “Diane”. It is 21-15-9 of Deadlifts at 155# and Handstand push ups. I had barely achieved handstand push ups at that time and the workout took me 19:53. Pretty long, but I finished it. The gym retested it recently but I got sick and couldn’t do it with […]
Wednesday Workout
September 27th, 2012 Martha I haven’t had a surplus of time to writes posts and with picture editing and stuff, it takes some time to make a post not look cheesy. A couple of weeks ago, I had one more day to workout before going on a trip and I was in between programs. (I have an awesome coach […]
Tuesday Tip
August 7th, 2012 Martha Try Something New I’ve recently decided to do something new. Swim. I actually do know how to swim and took swimming lessons as a child like many American children do. I have never swum laps. I now know why. (Swimsuit by Patagonia)* It’s hard. For the last month-ish I have spent about 30 minutes a […]

Gettin’ Filthy
April 14th, 2012 Martha It’s been a busy week and a busy weekend was planned but got rained out. Sadly…we were supposed to go to San Diego for a rowing race.
