Last night at practice, we had a fun gymnastics practice also celebrating Jenny‘s birthday. You’re awesome Jenny.

Y’all. Just in case any of you missed it, Sophia received the huge honor of arguably the most famous gymnast of all time (Nadia Comaneci) noticing her videos and giving her a challenge — to learn the hect Nadia used to compete. And she did! SO. COOL. WTG Sophia!

Hey friends! I have been MIA for a bit because I was overwhelmed, snowed under with appointments, the beginning of the school year, house problems. Boring! So here's where I'm at: Having realized that my original plan of driving to NH for training once a week (to then bring that info back and work on it here) was directly at odds with my need to take care of myself by cutting down on how much time I'm spending sitting in a car, I have modified my training plan to look like driving to NH. once a month to learn there, and then practice what I've learned there closer to home. This also frees me up to work one more day of the week, which is to the good. After being the "get along" member of the carpool my kid is in to get to school for the last few years, I finally asserted myself and declared that I would only drive mornings this year. This also frees me up to work more regular hours instead of settling for jobs that I could fit into the odd hours left over after everyone else claimed their times. So, now I have a regular class on Mondays (the first one, last week, was a soft welcome back; tomorrow should be more indicative of how this will go). On Tuesday-Friday *if* I can get away on my lunch hour, I have access to an open gym locally. So, I'm proud of myself for standing up for my needs, and adjusting my plans. I'm also pretty proud of myself because I have started lifting weights in order to actually be strong enough to do gymnastics. What I'm struggling with the most is trusting the process...because it's a process of my own design, and I'm not a gymnastics coach! I'm not really sure how much time I should be spending on weight training vs. at gymnastics. I really wish there were a comprehensive training program for adults that I could follow somewhere, somehow, that would help me gain both strength and flexibility, and gain gymnastics skills.
