I have no flexibility when it comes to the walking Quad Stretch
Hip Pops - I can tell I'm Very tight through the front of my hips.
Single Leg Hip Pops - was totally dying by the last rep on each side - makes me wonder if I've got some firing issues going on.

They love to get Girl Scout Cookies!

Hmmm... Nice Sat workout. I haven't heard of the book you are working from. It doesn't seem to recommend weights rather body weights. Is it a primarily body weight exercise book?

[SpacecityPaula]

Jane:

I don't know if I can still get Girl Scout cookies

Karla:

It's the other book that Cassandra Forsythe put out this year - It's official title is Women's Health Perfect Body Book. I'm taking the Dynamic Warmup from it to use as my warm up on workout days. I've always had problems with being overly tight.

I use the ADW from PBD, too, before (most of) my workouts. It's a really great warmup for me!

[SpacecityPaula]

Diane:

I'm definitely feeling the warmup this morning. My ass and thighs are tight.

Today has been a rest day.... I spent most of the day Potty Floppin'. Did make some broiled hamburgers this afternoon for dinner tonight along with some tater salad and beans (Bob made those). Spent some time working on my photography today. Tomorrow I get to go out on the pipeline doing an aerial patrol the Nikon is going with me

Sorry but that is a hilarious term!

[SpacecityPaula]

It describes it so aptly!

[SpacecityPaula]

Okay today was the best damn day of work ever.... I got paid to ride in a helicopter

Our Ride for the Day


Aiming for Heliopad 1


Compressor Station

The Compressors in this building are in the process of being decommissioned. They are 1940's era technology and while the compressors in this entire building put out 12000 lbs of pressure into the pipeline, there are two smaller buildings with 4 compressors that can output just as much gas.



Sand Pits and Water

Banking back over a right of way to get a picture of an encroachment (in this case there's a foundation that's being poured at the edge of the right of way)
