Heck of a start, Jera! |

Highland Games - The drama is so high, because the stakes are so low.

Yeah, not really on purpose though. Quit drinking soda and upped
the water intake and added some cardio. So yes, it did happen. Just not sure if I am over doing it. |

April 17
Practiced spinning with LWFD trying to hit high and low points. 10 full throws LWFD (all over the place, need to loosen up way too tense). Since light when so bad, only tried one spin with HWFD. Stones went pretty good. Trying out a full spin might be doable. Worked sheaf, focused on technique not power. Progress! WFH felt good, really worked the hips. Overall probably would have been better if I hadn't waitressed all day before hand. |

Made the workout fun. However I guess I should clarify, the last time
I tried lifting the log was before last season, and couldn't even get it past my waist. So last night was rather rewarding when I actually had to add weight to it. |

So today, we were gonna throw. However
it didn't happen. Instead we ended up constructing our own height standards. Well of course we couldn't help but try out our new yard ornaments. Nonetheless, made progress today, to make better progress tomorrow. |

Got outside to throw this evening. It is tough with a full belly. Worked
weights, gotta get something figured out, haven't had a good day with weights for a long time.......so frustrating. Got some good winds on the hammers. Then had some solid picks on the caber. Just really could pull weights spins together, it used to come so naturally. |

Worked footwork tonight. Think I finally figured out my problem.
Made a lot of progress, now to work on the cast. I can tell I was doing something different because my hips were burning. |
