Workout:

Horse ride followed by first day of the season winging

The River was pretty wild, tons of wind and current.  But it was great to shake the dust off and get some good rides.  I was also ejected quite a few times as the gusts were so strong.  Had a blast and excited to get back out there.

Took a video of the juggling that’s barely a start but will be fun to catch progress.  Better than last week!  The sled/sand bag work was tough today!  It was super hot and the grass was much different and harder to pull through than last week.  Love this stuff though.  Thanks!

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!
