[QUOTE=Diane Dennis;733685][B]Nancy![/B] I've been waiting for you!!

Didn't work out today because my husband and I got in the car at 3:30AM and drove to Punxsutawney to see the groundhog do his thing. [/QUOTE]

And here I am!! :)

How fun that you went to see Phil!! Husband and I were just talking about him!

[QUOTE=John Scott Rezendes;733716]Nancy! About time. Took you long enough.:o
[/QUOTE]

I know...50 years, to be exact! :D (and now, here I am...half-way to "dead")

Diane, I can't believe you drove to Punxsy! :rofl: That's where my boyfriend's from. Did you go to Carlino's for a burger?

Not much time today. After a quick warmup,

Snatch 2-2-2-2-2 all at 65# I've never really worked on these. I didn't like doing it at the club in the city. Rather work this at the affiliate.

Back Squats, 5-5-5 135, 155, 185

2/2 WOD.

Back from a week of skiing in Mammoth Lakes, CA! Skiing was fun, but also great to be back.

3-2-1-1-1-1 Cleans: 95-115-135-145-155 (PR!)
I'm only a little Ex-Lax or Ipecac away from body-weight (159# this morning). Getting that last rep up was a real struggle, and took 3 attempts, but I got it up.

Followed by 4 Rounds of Suicides: 13.03. Sooooo close to sub-13.

Hi Nancy, nice to see a fellow Santa Barbarian here.

Hi Jim,

I still haven't yet made it to Pacific Coast CF. Due to my achilles problem, and weird wrists that don't bend normally :shrug: it's difficult to do a lot of CF stuff.

Mammoth!!! Yahoooooo!!! I'm leaving for Mammoth on Sunday, for a week. Can not wait!!! I can't wait to get my Irish coffee and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies at McCoy's at lunch breaks. Oh yea, and the skiing.... :pepper:

TONS of snow up there! Stop in at The Breakfast Club, say hi to Sue the owner from me, and get the machacas, substituting fruit for potatoes. Yummy skiing fuel. ;)

And hopefully more snow on the way later this week!

We've been going to Mammoth for so many years, and it's funny how we have a total routine up there. See, we always stop at the Breakfast Club on our way home to SB....never before that...always on the way out of town!

[QUOTE=Deb Borbone;733798]Happy Birthday Nancy!!![/QUOTE]

Gracias! I'm having a hard time with grasping that I'm 50. I feel like I'm 35.
