Deadlifting


Yesterday at the gym I set a new Personal Record (PR) and deadlifted 200lbs! I was SO excited. I did have witnesses but I need to make sure I bring my camera next time.

Also, I am going to try to keep a 2nd blog going that is more Crossfit specific. Check it out here http://lorigetsfit.blogspot.com/ if you want to see what I am up to fitness wise.

New Year's Day


I know this is a little after the fact, but better late than never! New Year's Day Adam, Jessica and I drove down to Bliss where the rest of the family already was. It was great seeing everyone, it's been a long time since we were all together. In fact all but one of the cousins was there! The afternoon started when my mom called and said she was staring at a cougar about 5 miles away from the ranch. We all ran to the cars and sped down the highway towards Henderson Hill, but the cougar was gone when we got there. :( We drove around for awhile and saw pronghorn and elk, but no cougar. Oh well. After that we played hockey out on the resevior, ate, played cards and then ended the day with a Butler basketball tournament at the Bliss School gym. It was a good day, lot's of fun and a great way to start off 2009!
