track marks

ran the second track workout yesterday

went at a much better pace and felt better throughout. next week i am going to push a little harder. it wasn't comfortable this week, but i need to get past the mental block that holds me back a few extra seconds, maybe shorten my strides a bit and get my legs moving a little faster.
times were as follows;
3x400- 72,72,74 90 sec. in between
3 min.
600- 1:58
3 min.
3x400- 74, 74, 76 90 sec. in between
3 min.
2x200- 32, 33 90 sec. in between

would have liked to have my 200's at 30 or below, push harder next time. while running, however, i felt as though i was really pushing it. afterwards, recognizing the mental block.

went to the bicycle shop after and broke the no beer rule for a night. hadn't drank beer in awhile, especially more than one. tasted delicious, nice treat.

get to play tonight and then get to play again tomorrow, good ultimate weekend.

be better

in the end

got to play some ultimate yesterday, but more importantly, was brutally reminded how much i hate the f-in city.

went into boston with plans to have me dropped off and then the girl would go to her own practice and come back when she was done.

couldn't find the fields. we spent 1 1/2 hours just driving around, lost as fuck. it was infuriating. she ended up missing her practice and i was late by 1/2 hour. at least i got to play.

didn't warm up at all, felt quick though. first throw i made was a callahan. good start. got open when cutting quite often. got open deep quite a bit, didn't get the throw too much. that's allright, i got to sprint and play d. legs felt a little weak, probably due to not eating a lot and not stretching/warming up. but, i get to play again on friday. warm-up a little more, make sure i know where the f i am going.

track workout today.

stoke the fire, get yourself angry.

who are they going to pick? don't give them a choice, make it seem crazy to not take you. make yourself the player you want to be.

she will be loved

rode my bike to work yesterday.

i am really excited about that. it's only about 8 miles, kind of flat, but a few hills that make me push. my bike is awesome. i am looking forward to building another one. took me 25 minutes to get in. did a few errands after work and then pedaled home. probably about 20 miles total on the day.

i went for a 3 mile run once i got home, want to keep everything loose and warm. felt allright, pushed a little bit at the end.

stretching felt good and my muscles felt relaxed. jumping is still kind of weird, sometimes really good height, other times weak feeling going up. need to figure that out.

need to get back to squats and jumps, add some lunges. liked a workout i saw. i would also really like to start doing my vertical leap program. strengthen everything up.

2 tournies last weekend. played on saturday, coached on sunday.

playing was allright. need to run harder, want the disc more and really push to be at 100% all of the time. on defense, played solid, got beat a few times that i wasn't happy about. should have had 3 d's, missed just barely.

coaching went well. ended the season 4th in the state. i am very proud of my players. that's a very solid place to finish for a jv team.

game tonight, part of the showcase stuff. i am really excited to have more chances to play some really good ultimate.

be great now. be an example to yourself, be the worker you want everyone else to be, but better.
