To INFINITY and beyond!

Monday, September 29, 2008

Getting to the top of a 13' rope may not seem like a big deal, but if you've NEVER in your life been able to climb even a foot up a rope, getting to the top is a HUGE deal - and one that very often seems like something impossible when first getting started. Elina last week made it to the top for the first time - and was quite insistent that if she was going to climb the rope, she'd better at least get her picture taken! Great job, Elina!

Elina,

CONGRATS!!! You're an inspiration to all of us land-dwellers who have not yet gotten to the top of that rope yet. Great to see how your persistence has paid off!!!

Awwww... thanks all! I couldn't have done it without a lot of instruction, support and ass-kicking.

CONGRATS!

Congratulations, Elina! I am so jealous! I still can't make it even half way up but I know part of it is fear and my hands are sweating profusely right now just thinking about it! Seriously! You have been a major inspiration ever since we did our Thanksgiving Day workout last November. Remember the "turkey run" with the medicine ball? Keep up the great work!
