There are three of us competing in Nov. Coach JamesD, Vanessa and I.  The past few weeks we&#8217;ve taken to doing a non-lifting team activity.  This week was my turn to find something, that was almost a challenge because my past time has pretty much turned into crossfitting or lifting weights in some fashion.  I suppose I coulda strapped them into some roller skates.  <\/p>\n<p>There was still my archery, but I figured they wouldn&#8217;t bite, but I was wrong.  Much to my delight they were both interested in it!  I was a bit nervous taking them to the range, I generally don&#8217;t perform my best in front of others, I didn&#8217;t know how much they knew and if I&#8217;d be making a fool of myself with them.  But what the heck, I&#8217;m use to looking like a dork.  <\/p>\n<p>So today I got to teach my good friends how to shoot, and <em>man<\/em> they are naturals!  It took me two months to hit<em> any<\/em> target let alone the one I was aiming at.  By the time we left they were out shooting me on the 3D range.  So between the three of us there&#8217;re some hurting turkeys, couple of coons, bucks, and a bull elk.  Oh, and one dead ass &#8220;Mother F&#8217;ing&#8221; rabbit!  <\/p>\n<p>What joy!  Getting to share one of my favorite activities with a couple of my favorite people; getting to see them take to it so quickly and enjoy it so much was like a big ol&#8217; cherry on top! <\/p>\n<p>Now This Is My Kind Of Team Building.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/60141310@N00\/5085480870\/\" title=\"Vanessa_Archery by banjobear, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4107\/5085480870_10884d7f6d.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Vanessa_Archery\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Super V.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/60141310@N00\/5084884163\/\" title=\"James_archery by banjobear, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4090\/5084884163_10507ee932.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"James_archery\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Coach Awesome.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/60141310@N00\/5085480674\/\" title=\"Darla_archery by banjobear, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4145\/5085480674_ed5c518c11.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Darla_archery\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Me pretending to look like I might know what I&#8217;m doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My current fitness challenge\/goal has been training for a NASA Power-lifting meet.
