Just Checking In

It's been awhile since I've posted, so I'll be brief in an attempt to catch everyone (both of you) up on what's going on.

Congrats to my Mom!!! Here's an article on her...she won Nurse of the Year out of 15,000 other nurses. Way to go, Mom! I'm really proud of her.

My darling wife has survived her first year as a lead teacher. I'm glad to see her finish up...starting in August, she's got a fabulous job at a fabulous school here in Katy, and she's really looking forward to not driving an hour and a half each way to work. And I'm looking forward to seeing her a bit more often. I get lonely without her around...(sniff).

Lacrosse season is over. At least I get to watch all the college semifinal and final games this weekend. I'm not much of a couch potato, but I do love to watch me some lacrosse. Watch out next year, guys...I'm already practicing! I plan to earn the nickname of 'the Ninja Hitman' or something of that nature. Wish me luck!

After many, many months, I've finally updated our website www.jademountain.org . Take a look, and tell me what you think! I'm still working on it, and some pages aren't up yet, but I should have pages for everything up in a week or so.

In other news, I've decided to start posting my workouts occasionally in an attempt to keep myself honest. I figure I'd better be doing something impressive, if I'm going to actually post it. Here's what I did today:

1oo Burpees. 8 sets of pushups. 8 sets of squats. 8 sets of ab exercises.

I should explain...my eight sets involve doing as many reps as possible of an exercises for 20 seconds, and then resting for 10 seconds, and then doing another set, and so on. The 100 burpees were absolutely awful, but I enjoy. Kind of. What's a burpee? Here's a clip...by the way, it's not me in the vid.

Class time approaches, so I'd better be off. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, everyone!
