More Training...

As the summer is coming quickly to a close training is still going strong!! We have a team camp up in Calgary, Canada this week. Today was day 2 of our team camp of pushing in the ice house. So far all we have are some pretty sore muscles. Which is not too bad at all. This summer has been such a different one for me than i have ever had before. It was nice to be able to work and be at home for the first part of the summer and then have the opportunity to go down and train in Chula Vista. It has been nice to be able to just focus on training and not have too many outside influences. So much has happened this summer and has had so good times and some not so good times.

Our family has had to really come together in the past few weeks and really be able to rely on one another to get through it all! It has been exceptionally hard for me because i was not at home for most of the events that have taken place. It was hard to be away, but nice that i knew things would be ok even though i was not there.

As this summer has come to an end much quicker than i was hoping!! It is now time to start the focus on the season... I hope that all of my training that i have done this summer will pay off and i will be able to achieve what i would like this year!!!

OUCHY!!!

So this morning i was having a great workout, but struggling a little on some of the technique of doing some of the lifts. So today i was really trying to get the movements of doing cleans and i have been having a hard time getting all of the movements together. I tend to totally over think things and once i start to think i get into my own head and thats is what happened. I was working on just getting the power up through my legs and shrug of my shoulders. Well i got some sort of an idea of how it was supposed to feel like. I had a little too much power in my legs and the bar came up and i hit myself in the chin with it. I had to go to sports med to just have it looked at because i started to bleed. I thought i was just going to need a little band-aid, but i ended up getting 2 stitches... This was my first time getting stitches :( After getting the stitches in i went back to the gym to finish my workout. I didn't do everything as my chin started to throb...
Here are some pictures to prove that it happened!!! Along with my sweet Sponge Bob band-aid
