Finally redeeming my mother's day gift -- a SUP lesson w/ none other than Shane P., master expedition SUPer who is right here in St. Lou. Fun to hear about his upcoming mega-mile water adventures in Alaska and Florida. Learned I was doing some stuff right and some stuff wrong (or not at all) so it was good to get form/technique pointers. Did pivot turns without falling off! The past month I have been standing on an Indo-type balance board @ work while typing or during conf. calls and I seriously think that has significantly improved my balance. NOTHING un-fun about this session!!

Run around Bettie's Lake @ Broemmelsiek trying to catch up w/ my kindergartener who is quite the little runner and loves nothing more than beating her brother.

Chiro appt. #6: Trigger point work, ultrasound, followed by somewhat aggressive e-stim on upper shoulders. Decidedly less tingling in the R arm a day or two later, so good results. Plus, I started using a new, special sleeping pillow so that may be helping. Finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. I was beginning to wonder if I would have to deal with chronic nerve pain. Doesn't look like it. Phew

Run around surrounding subdivisions. Lovely sunrise, birds chirping!

KM level 1 and 2 classes. Lots of repetitive hook combos w/ focus mitt-holding in level 2. Thought I knew hooks from doing tons of them in heavy bag classes...nope. Form needs work. That's what level 2 is all about - technique refinement - and I need lots of that.

Boot camp DVD - functional movements, dumbbells, pushups, etc.

- 2:30 plank sequence (forearms to hands combos, side w/ arm/leg lifts and arm rotation under body, on hands w/ leg lifts, on hands w/ knees to chest) OWW
- Jumprope w/ DUs; intervals of 3, 4, and 5 linked DUs (I am not great at linking them - barely squeaked out 5 in a row)
- Some simple static stretches

Hiking all around Klondike park w/ fam and mom. Boat ramp, loop around fishing lake, up hill to overlook where we got married. She scampered up that hill no problem. Logging half time.

Run around surrounding subdivisions.

100' of slow/deep walking lunges and leg swings.
