She Rocks

"If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball."
Phil Jackson
Brigid sucked for most of three quarters last night. The first two points she scored were for the other team when she forgot which direction they were going on an in bounds play, which put the other team up 20-12 in the third, a wide gap in 7/8th grade park and rec ball.  But it seriously pissed her off, and six minutes later she had single-handedly tied it 20-20 with eight unanswered points, and went on to score the game winners in double over time 28-32, finishing with 14 points (for her team), four assists, and two free throws and some very very good passes, along with three offensive fouls.  She used to get picked off on the deep outsides; now she gets it there so fast you can hardly see it.  Of course few of her team mates can catch it, but that's a different problem.  Have rarely seen her that focused or determined and the entire gym was riveted.  She has stepped up her game big time this season and she was still pissed at herself when they finished, a few girls on the opposing team in tears.  Good girl.
Sunday, three mile marsh walk, just me and the dog greeting our fellow marsh revelers.  Afternoon, into sf  for two hours with Ms. Tom; pleasantly thrashed and fun to see tiny CT barking orders to the class; Cinco's comment was that she is a little Nazi - I prefer drill seargant but whatever, she too kicks ass.
Monday, three miles on the step mill and some TRX core work, shoulders pleasantly humming from Sunday.

HW kicking her client's ass next to me on TRX, really really good coaching  - grown man just sucking wind, speechless.
No bells on second circuit cause Kbell workout with 5 in the eve.
Head back at 4:30 for MH stiff guy class, he is out so its JB, who is ok, but not MH and the class is pretty easy, which is fine given one more bell session on the docket.
By 8:00, 5 is half hour late and I am dog tired.  We fuck around, and put in Lauren Brooks' DVD for some structure.  Yet another small powerful gal; 5 is blown away and dying after 12 minutes and we order one for him on line.  Now completely smoked.
Respect for small women kicking ass and leaving folks in the dust sucking wind; that's my daughter too.
