No rest for the weary.

It occured to me the other day that I have not taken a vacation since I opened my gym. I've gone out of town, and I've traveled places, but I have not gone anywhere that did not involve work. On my ski vacation to Park City, I went to a Dutch training seminar. I wouldn't have gone if I hadn't been able to make a work-trip out of it. I've gone to certifications, of course. That's not a vacation though. Even last summer, when I went to Whistler before we opened the gym, I made a special trip to Whistler CrossFit, partially to get exposure to as many CrossFit gyms as I could, and to network, of course.

Even in a couple of weeks, when I go mountain biking in Fruita, I am planning on making a stop at CrossFit 801 and CrossFit Park City. Not technically work, I suppose, but important networking nonetheless.

But, you know, I'm okay with my lack of vacations. I love my job and even if I went on vacation, I probably wouldn't stop thinking about Bridger CrossFit.

Pretty darn happy with today. I wore my new Saucony Type A2 running shoes. They're kind of a racing flat - probably made mostly for the 10k distance. They're definitely kind of squishy compared to all the other shoes I've been wearing, but I wanted to have a good running shoe that I can also WOD in. Plus, I think they're absolutely spectacular to look at, so wearing them makes me happy :) I probably could have gotten the 130# clean and jerk today had I been wearing my lifting shoes....but, I'm okay with it.

Here's a video of my first 125# Hang Power Clean and Push Jerk. It's not pretty, but hey, I did it.
