The Blister is Back

Monday, April 14;

The blister is back, and I couldn't be more excited!! Take a look at it. It's beautiful.

It's been about 5 months since I've had a callous tear, so I couldn't have been more happy when I plopped the 45lb KB down after today's workout. There she was.. just waiting for me to turn my hand over.. like a little morel mushroom just waiting for a hunter to discover its glory. Big and nasty and just ripe for popping! Sweet.

Warmup:

5 rounds

15 second squat hold w/ 20lbs

15 second jumping squats.. no weight

10 minutes of hollow rocks

Workout:

AMRAP in 20 minutes

9 Right Arm Push Presses 25lb

12 Right Arm KB Swings 45lb

16 Weighted Situps 20lb

Total: 10 1/3 + a juicy callous blister :)

Some more good news.. Some of you know that I've been in the market for a road bike for about a year now. Over the weekend, I found my bike soul mate (if there is such a thing). She is a Specialized Dolce Elite. She's sweet! Now I'm in the process of learning how to clip in and clip out of her. I've already developed a nice bruise on my back from falling over onto my coffee table in my living room. I'm happy no one saw that. What was I saying a few weeks ago about not having enough bumps and bruises? Someone much smarter than I once said something like if you don't have bumps and bruises you must not be that exciting. I like that!
