Three Down Seven to Go

Well one more week and another challenge down in the books. This week due to the trails being closed we had to do circuit drills for this week’s challenge. We had hill relays, resistance partner sprints, and stair drills. This was very interesting due to it had just rained and everybody's shoes didn't have the best traction for running up a nice 50 to 60 degree grass laden incline. This was looking to have some very good photos for the collection but everyone did better than expected. After that you moved to resistance partner sprints. This is where each of us had to partner up and place a large resistance band around you and try and spring about 50 to 60 yards with you partner trailing behind putting resistance on the band. This was interesting. I felt like a draft horse pulling a sled or something. Lastly we had to run the stairs at the parking garage at Hogan’s Alley. This totally stunk. It is about 6 stories and seemingly everyone picked the same stairwell to run up and down. After the challenge we got to listen to Major Ron Stucker with the Orange County Florida Sheriff’s Department talk about the Caylee Anthony case. This was very interesting and gave a little more insight on the case. Also this week a bunch of us went to Washington DC and walked around and saw all the monuments. While we were there it as the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, it was extremely busy and crowded. This week was good also because I me my family in Sevierville. I really enjoyed spending time with them and trying to catch up with things that have been going on. My son was very excited to tell me about getting his driver’s license (look out). Things are starting to go by pretty a little more quickly now with all the things lined up and things to do. Before we know it, we will all be graduating.
