A Big Deal to me...

So, if you read this blog, you'll notice that it's been a while since I have posted. I'm sorry. It's funny how life just happens and time goes by; some things slip away.
I saw a great quote on Z-healths forum from a friend of Lou Mcgovern:
"It always amazes me how the ocean can heal itself in one day...It makes me optimistic". I think this is an awesome quote. It makes me feel good. If you stop and think, no matter what, the sun always rises, Spring always follows Winter, every day is a new day; a new beginning. Every day is a gift. That makes me optimistic too.

As far as training goes, well, I've been saying my prayers and doing my Z. And I've got to report I think I'm doing quite well. Today I snatched the 24kg 100 times in 4 min and 30 seconds without ever putting it down. I've never done that before. The snatches felt solid, and right. It felt great.

I've started taping 2 1/2 lb plates to my 80lb kettlebell for clean and presses. I'm doing pull-ups with a 53lb kettlebell on my feet. I feel like everyday i'm improving and getting just a little stronger. Yes, for now, at this moment training is good; I am good. Today is my new day.
