Pushing the Limits: January 2011
http://purplejonquilblog.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 3, 2011. Hope everyone's 2011 is going well so far! Back to the grind for me.well, I had to create a narrative using this week's new vocabulary words. Here it is (although I'm not sure where I was going with it, but remember it's written for 20 -year-old students):. Or are you sitting? No matter. Does it seem plausible. That you have stumbled into a Disney World Electric Parade? Oh wait, you're an adult! You can't admit to that unless you want your cool friends to disavow. My poor beautif...

Pushing the Limits: February 2011
http://purplejonquilblog.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Been a while, I know. TAKS planning, grading, new LPAC chair position, new mother to tutor, etc. have kept me crazy busy. I have also started practicing Bikram yoga (thank you, Howard! As soon as I walked toward the box, I saw people doing thrusters and pull-ups, and the panic set in. FRAN! Then I see Pat, and he laughs at me and says that it's DOUBLE Fran! I almost peed myself, bolted, and drove home. But I didn't. Several people already saw me (darn it! I used just the barbel...

Pushing the Limits: April 2012
http://purplejonquilblog.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. Has happened since the State Meet! I competed in Dutch Lowy's first annual Black Box Lifting Meet in late February. It was a fun time! I hit 56kg in Snatch and 72kg in CJ. I had the 75 jerked, but my foot got stuck on the very sticky platform and I lost the barbell from overhead. :( Cleaning the 75 was a PR. I placed 2nd to Candice Ruiz, who kicked my tush with 65(? The goal to 20s is to get 15 reps with increasing percentages followed by 5 bonus reps, ideally hitting a PR.

Pushing the Limits: Texas State Meet
http://purplejonquilblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/texas-state-meet.html
Monday, January 16, 2012. Last Saturday, my 31st birthday, was the Texas State Weightlifting Championships in Alvin, TX. I drove down on Friday evening (what a boring drive! Next year I'm definitely going to fly! Then I had to settle down for the Clean and Jerk. Both PRs brought my meet total to 125kg, a 10kg gain from October. Happy birthday to me! Jed was so sweet and got me a birthday cake (with my name on it and everything! And 3 and 1 candles. Everyone sang to me, and I made a wish. :). Hope you hav...

Pushing the Limits: March 2011
http://purplejonquilblog.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. Hehe, I'm such a nerd. Like my title there? I cleaned the 125#. I think I was surprised to have cleaned it because I made a face, like Whoa! Which Russell noticed, too. Then jerking it wasn't too bad, but I do need to work on staying back on my heels so the weight doesn't go forward. So excited to see PRs again! And as afraid as I was going in to do Grace rx'd, it was a pleasant surprise to have 95# feel so "easy" for the first 15-16 reps. Monday, March 7, 2011. 4 rounds for time:.
