I'm going to be really real here - that was not an awesome workout....though it wasn't the workout's fault. I mean, I hate ladders in general (my old JRD90 peeps know this about me), but that's not actually why it wasn't awesome. It wasn't awesome because I messed up...A LOT. I even whipped my arm a few times, which I haven't done since my early days of jumping. I used to be a MUCH better skipper, so it was pretty frustrating. I stuck with it (and will continue to stick with it), but I was annoyed with myself pretty much the whole time. And when I tried to do some running in place skipping, I felt a twinge in my formerly broken (recently healed) foot, so that put the kibosh on that one.

I know the workouts can't all be great and not being able to jump for a long time has its effect on the body, so I'm not disheartened....well, not completely, anyway. Perhaps it is better to say that I'm not dispairing. I did do the thing - however imperfect that thing may have been - and I will keep on doing the thing. 😉
