The HSPU felt SO strong today. Probably because of all the handstand work I've been doing lately but I've never done that many strict HSPU in one day. I did the 14th round with a short cycle kip and all other rounds were 3 unbroken. I'm thrilled with that and the fact that I felt like I finally made progress on the handstand walking today. Also, pretty stoked about my snatch PR... it was a good day. :)

How are you targeting handstand walks? Just work on balance without a wall then progress, or you got a "trick"?
Wow! So this is a day in the life of a unicorn?! Tough stuff! Glad I can read all about it ;)
I love reading about your training, Shana. It's such a motivator to those of us aiming for the Games someday as well. Keep up the great work!
You KNOW I'm keeping tabs! Your times have been ridiculous lately - that's for sure! I figure if I'm within a few minutes of you - I'm content! :-)
Glad I could do the Lucky 7s with you - it's always fun and motivating to have you in a WOD. I kept seeing you do your burpees as moving burpees towards your WBSU spot, and every round I thought, "Damn, that's an awesome idea, I'm doing that next round!"
And then the next round would come and I'd be thinking about my core being on fire, and I'd forget.
It's a compliment to your fitness that you have the presence of mind during peak exertion to think of stuff like that.
I love reading your blog! I pretty much read it aloud to my husband and say 'Wow, did you see what she *did* there!' To his credit, he smiles and nods and encourages me to keep with it.
Also, how many pairs of shoes do you have? Every picture seems to feature a new pair of kicks!
Best day of commments ever!! Rachel... I've lost count of how many pairs of shoes I have -- I should start on October 1st, wear a different pair every day and see how many days I last! (the green and white ones are new ;)
Carey, I don't really have any tricks for the handstand walking. I have zero gymnastics background so being inverted has been a real challenge for me. I've been spending approximately 4 hours a week working on nothing but hand balancing. Today I realized that if I stand back from the wall but still kick towards it, I don't panic when I start to overbalance (when you'd typically start walking.) It seemed to work and I was actually able to take some steps. Text me if you need some tips! :-)
So proud of you for the handstand walking! I am happy to be your partner in crime for any inverted work. I clearly need lots of help in that arena (but making good progress thanks to the uni).
