Healthy Halloween Treats

Prunes get a bad rap.

October 8, 2013

I've been passing these individually wrapped prunes out for my Halloween treats.  Typically, they've been my reward treat; but at this time of the year, they no longer have to be earned.

It's funny which kids reject them and which ones love them.  I think most of the girls who refuse prunes do so because of the stigma attached.  They're quite delicious- like a raisin on steroids....and moist!  I'm doing my part to fight the prejudice against prunes; after all, they make everything come out okay!

I've sometimes joked with kids about asparagus milk shakes.....broccoli ice cream....Well, check out this video by Crest:

Happy Halloween!

What did the Mummy coach say at the end of practice? " Let's wrap this up!"

What do gymnasts who are good at bars dress up as for Halloween?

Why Learn a Codi?

Learning a codi is useful to gymnasts as a drill that will lead into multiple flipping orientation (especially useful for vault flipping).

Comment by Eddie Umphrey on his FB page regarding an encounter with Vitaly Scherbo:

my 1st encounter with Scherbo, i was at the OTC for my 1st junior team camp. he stops his lecture for the whole camp and points at me. whispers something to another russian and says "that's little Chainey". then goes about his business. i was scared. didn't know if that was a complement or if i was now on his hit list
