Golf Social and Kolbe

 Two hours playing at golf social, we did The Hay which I really like and did very poorly on today, but ya know the second hour was way better, starting to make friends with my A. (Pam call it her Canadian Club (A!).

Good pickleball lesson after.

Lost Balls

 I did 18 at Shadow Hills North today, I lost more golf balls than I could count, but had a great time.

So Much...

 Last night I played the worst pickleball I've ever played, even my friends said hey are you ok? Sometimes life just catches up to you and yep I have a lot on my mind, all good, so why am I so stressed out.  Probably need to get myself back to Crossfit more consistently.  Crossfit definitely has me leaving with an endorphin high. I saw my massage therapist today and he only worked on my back, he apologized and said you're working your upper body super hard, it's all showing up in your core.  (That wasn't a positive comment like whoa look at that core)! He's right, I told him what's going on in the next few weeks and got some good advice and he got me in sooner, when I said I might not be ready, he promised to meet  me where I am.  I got my chest X-ray done this morning which was the last thing I needed for my medical clearance. I guess I'm ready.

Dubs and Burpees

 Driving to CrossFit this morning for the 6:00am class and realized I had forgotten my water bottle.  I had a little brain/body argument with myself.  You have time to stop and buy a water bottle, I don't want to stop, I don't even want to do dubs and burpees.  You could go home and get some back squats and lunges done, you do have pickleball tonight, you don't need to do anything. So "you don't need to do anything" won the argument, I may head out to the garage for some leg work, I may not.

Bench

 Benched 65lbs today, not a pr but haven't been there in awhile, hope to just be passing through on the way up.

Pickleball

 Just pickleball today. 

Vegetation

We got home Tuesday, Wednesday was an arm/upper body workout at home, Thursday Crossfit was 7-7-7-7-7 backsquats, my last set was at 80lbs, 7 is a big number for a set, 80lbs is a little number, but it was my number. This morning was a hard row, clean, rope climb pyramid workout.  Time 18:45.  I did not scale the row.

We played pickleball last night, we had 5 of us and a set of 3 snagged whoever was out to make their foursome so there was no rest but lots of fun. Now I feel like sleeping, still waking up on east coast time.

Wow!

 "Wow" was the word of the day today at pickleball, both complimentary and as a little jab.  Fun morning with lots of wins, "wow" I've played two good days in a row.

Usually

 Usually I'm pretty hard on myself as far as how well I play pickleball but today was a very good day!

My new golf club (the right one this time) came today so I'm going to the simulator to try it out this afternoon.

Deadlifts

 Deadlifts 5 sets of 3 unbroken.  My heaviest was a set of 2@153. Pickleball class after.  Our Pink Par Tee Golf event last night was super fun and I golfed well, must have been the pink polo shirt!

She Gets It

Well my new club arrived, and instead of sending me a woman's club, shortened 1" I got a mens club, not shortened.  Luckily they sent me a return label and have placed a replacement order.  Hopefully I'll get the right one this time, I've been golfing fair---I'm happy with my progress so far.  I got to golf with Kev, Craig and Jack when we were in Maine and that was very fun.  We golfed at Hampden CC, when we go back in October I want to check out Foxcroft to see if we want to buy season passes for next summer. Tonight is Pam's Pink Par-Tee, Melissa just texted me it's also wear pink, Kerri would be so proud if I go buy more golf clothes!  

Yesterday morning we took out the ball machine and I really focused on my backhand, forehand drives, muscle memory, good muscle memory is kicking in and I felt like I was making good progress.  Now if my opponents would just hit it to me, you know right to me, like the ball machine does.  I was going to go this morning and drill more on my scorpions and overheads but just didn't get there.  We played last night and I had some great shots but also missed some ridiculously easy shots which is very aggravating.  Crossfit this morning was running, which is a nope for me so I'm headed to the garage to get some bench presses in, golf tonight and calling it good.

 

Clean and Jerk

 Today I did 65 and ran out of time to go heavier but it felt ok, no struggle.

Tubing

 Spent the day on the lake with the grandkids--no Crossfit--why I Crossfit?  I always think about Crossfit in terms of how heavy (not heavy) I'm lifting, today when I was out on the tube with the grandkids, I realized how I take my grip strength for granted.  We never really measure it, it's just a byproduct of all the bar work we do, something I never really think about until....just being able to hang on with the kids.

Power Cleans

 3-3-3-3-3

Why are my cleans not getting better? Let me answer that for myself, I'm pulling too soon, not getting under the bar, not keeping the bar path close, not jumping hard and high enough, and slow turnover of my elbows.  Is there another component I'm doing wrong, if it exists it should be on my list.  The ironic thing is it is a lift I really like.

On a better note golf last night was really fun.

Muscle Up Annie

 15:02, it was ok, dumb practice (that was a typo for dub practice, but it kinda fits), RMU practice and a whole lot of sit ups.

Pickleball last night, who does an outdoor lesson when it's 115? Still good lesson.  Golf tonight.

Ring Rows, Pushups and Back Squats

 Ring rows and pushups were a scale for ring muscle ups, I like the fact that my pushups are getting stronger and I can do more.  Back squats we had to be able to do unbroken, I chose 65lbs, probably should have pushed a little heavier.

Went to Fritz after, lost 1, won 1, called it good.
