Always so nice getting to talk with you and extra fun to see your new place!  Thanks for making that time :).  

Enjoyed my handstand work.  Wish I had videoed my cartwheels a few weeks ago because the one on my bad side (right hand down first) has really improved.  I feel like my somersault is a bit better too.  Lifting was great.  Thanks!

I went out of order today because it was pouring and the sled work seemed better done on a dry day.  Great refresher on HS today, really feeling improvement.  I was able to do a lot more in the video though it is still super challenging.  Goes by fast though.  Emom was great!! Thanks!

My body is starting to figure the improved handstand position out!  I felt like I had some real break throughs today.  Interestingly, it’s easier on my wrists and hands and I feel more stable with my hands right under my shoulders.  Still pretty stiff rolling out of the headstand but feeling better.  Emom felt great!
