     All KINDS of crazy things are happening at the gym this week, although I always hesitate to call our training facility a "gym" because it has no shiny white equipment, no treadmills and no mirrors. YOU are the equipment, the treadmill and the ever growing connection of your brain to your body, the mirror.  

What are we all training for?  We are training for LIFE. Our workouts train us to be better at what we do outside of the gym. And that is where it matters the most.
 Brenda went up to swinging an 18# kettlebell this week and ran most of the way up and down the hill of torture.She looks and acts stronger in every way, every day.
 Katie went up to swinging a 35# kettlebell this week. She is also showing amazing gymnastics skills which were always there but now get to blossom each time she works out.
 Shannon says that we have created a monster out of her. She has lost another 8 pounds this week and this morning she "accidently" ran a mile. She lowered her LDL, blood sugars and triglycerides so significantly that she got of 2 of her medications this week!
 Wendy ran 2 miles without stopping on Tuesday. She has not been able to do that for 2 years!
Sara is well on her way to jumping up on a 42" tall box by her April birthday. Tonight she made it to 39". Well, sort of.
