I Did It!!!!!!......kind of.

Tonight in my tnt class I was working on my bridge. I know, you are thinking 'a bridge?! That should be a piece of cake!'. Well, maybe if I was 12, not 38 and did not have a crazy messed up back. I have been stretching and really working with my coach on getting up. Last week my coach informed me that I did not have enough strength in my shoulders to push and hold myself up. So, I have been working on that since then. Tonight, she helped me get up and had her hand on my upper back. I was pushing (with her help). The next thing I knew she moved her hand away! For 10 seconds I held myself in my bridge!!!! Wahoo!!!!! I was so excited! I still am! I am not all the way there yet, but please keep in mind where I was when I started this class (about three weeks ago). I could not get my back up in to any kind of bridge (too tight) let alone hold myself up! Yahoo!!!!

Thanks mom. Senior?!?! hey!!!! lol They had a competition today and wanted tnt to do it. I looked at one of the adults in the class and said 'are you going to do this?', he said 'are you?' and I responded that you could not pay me to do it! lol I think that really, you could pay me to do it, but I prefer to do my stuff without full attention from the adults in the room. hehe
