I just posted this on my training journal, but thought I'd post it here, too. I'm just so excited! I wanted to share it with you guys, since I knew (or at least hope) you'd appreciate this:
Monday (that's today)... I did my first successful kong!
Okay, I had done one or two once before, but that was literally just before my injury (the third time is when I hurt myself). This vault has terrified me ever since. But today I did it! And it felt... good! VERY, VERY good, in fact. It was a log waist high and about 2 & 1/2 feet wide. So, it wasn't terribly impressive, but I did it! I started slow, at the much smaller end of the log, and then tried at the "big" end. The first few times I landed on top of it. Then I just *barely* made it over a few times (and it was a good thing there was nice, thick grass on the other side one of those times!). And then I nailed it. And I nailed it again. And again, and again! I owned it, man! My cousin was cheering me on, which helped a lot. I know it's not much, but it felt like a monumental achievement. Progress is progress.
