When jumps go bad...

[Veronica]

9th jump on my third set of 10.

After cussing, I did my last two jumps and my last set of one legged burpees.

Shin bruises are the worst! It's still lumpy and a bit swollen.

I did lose a bit of my confidence with the jumping; I was back to swinging my arms three or more times before doing a jump. To break me of that habit, Shawna had me sit on the 12 inch step and then jump onto the 24. You only get one arm swing when you do that, so it better be good.



Here's fun, little thing we do every now and then. First hop over the rope and then go under it. And yesterday, I got to do some Chinese jump rope. She had the large ropes laying parallel on the floor and I had to jump back and forth across them: first set for a minute, second set two minutes and you guessed it - third set was for three minutes. I didn't really do Chinese jump rope because jumping on the large ropes is a recipe for turning your ankle, but it was fun to pretend.

The shin is still bruised? They do take awhile, hope it is fully healed soon. I can certainly see how that might affect jumping confidence. (I know it would mine). The over-under you posted the pic on does look like fun!

hope you heal quickly! I have to confess- I checked this thread cuz I though Whoa.... jump- I thought she was a triathlete/roadie ...and I have not been able to conquer any impressive jumps myself- just drops...... lol god chuckle for the day...I am so not a normal 51 year old female (: Guess that is what happens when you grow up with brothers and then have 3 boys (:

That's funny, 'cause I ride it all. Last year's vacations were doing the White Rim and a Telluride to Moab mountain bike trip - and we have a tandem. But I don't do jumps on any bike.
