i'm a bitch, i'm a lover
last wednesday was track.
4x200, twice through and 4x100
30,30,31,30
30,30,30,30
didn't time 100's. once again was dead during this workout and felt like hell.
played pickup after and was good to run around hard with cleats on.
thursday was an off day, an amusement park day as well. more flags, more fun.
friday i went climbing. was able to get 6 climbs in of varying difficulty, but nothing too hard.
saturday and sunday were both practice days. looong practice days. lots of work on dictating and positioning on d. stop the f-in huck.
a note about practice. my legs felt pretty heavy. i was still fast at top speed, but my change of direction and quickness were definitely lacking, which is frustrating. i think it is partly due to training that hasn't kicked in yet and also adjusting to consistently playing at a higher level than i have in the past.
monday was a short bike ride, but good to get the legs moving and then hot tub.
gym today.
keep working and it will pay off. also, for f$#@ sake, learn to bid on d with your left hand. i would definitely have had a couple this weekend at practice if i can do that.

who can it be now?
last week was a very solid workout week overall.
as mentioned before, gym with lifting and plyos tuesday.
wednesday was track
thursday was agility with sprints
friday was a bit of stretching and travel day
weekend was ches. open.
was very excited overall with the team and personally. played solid defense on man.
really wish i could have 3 plays back, but that will definitely give me some fire to train with.
first play was after we got a turn and a huck was put to me. i waited to long and let it get out in front of me instead of just going up to get it. very frustrated with myself because it's a play i can make easily. train harder and go up when you know you can.
second play was in the same game and a huck was put up and wasn't to my guy but he went after it and i didn't track it very well and went up at a weird angle and too soon. train harder.
third play was a huck to the force side off of an s-cut. didn't make my first couple of steps as quick as they should have been and then didn't get to the spot fast enough. really should have made the play. train harder.
you can be a great player if you can continue to push yourself to work harder and be better.
let's go to work.

cause my heart is damaged....
i hope you have a first aid kit handy.
onto today.
went for a 27 minute run. this one was hard. pushed until my lungs hurt real bad and my legs wanted to give, slowed down a little, then pushed again. did this for awhile. finished with a pretty quick active and then full stretch.
during my run, really tried to visualize a blank slate and just let my body be itself. when i started getting pretty tired or winded, i motivated myself to run harder.
good run. looking forward to getting out again tomorrow before the long drive home on friday.
stretch and stretch.
stop me.

cry me a river
in n.c.
full stretch in the morning
went for a run in the nasty humidity. went for about 22 minutes total. pushed on the hills. legs felt like cinder blocks, lungs felt allright. hamstring/it band is not a happy place for me. need to stretch and roll it out more.
after the run, active warmup and then some plyo stuff.
2x15 laundry jump
2x30 yards power skip
2x30 yards single leg bounds (2 each leg)
2x30 yards frog jumps
2x10 rim jumps
full stretch again
some thoughts in general.
need to spend more time actually running. the lifting has me jumping higher and being faster on the sprint, but i need to get out and just spend time on my feet and running.
also, stretch more.
in terms of lifting, back to the basics.
deadlift
single leg squat (bulgarian split squat)
single leg rdl
over db incline
lat pulldown
calf raises
db swing
and maybe one or two more, but these are what i want to be doing and i think they will be the most beneficial.
on days that i am lifting, also some plyo work. i think i am going to combine stuff from the vertical bible and stuff from my workouts last year. good mix and will keep me active. also, more sprinting. at the end of all workouts, i need to be doing sprinting. i am going to start the sprinting next monday. i want to run this week and focus on just running, pushing when uncomfortable and really trying to get my muscles loose and ready for the rest of the season.
hopeful schedule.
mondays; stretching, bike ride or longish run, active, stretching, core
tuesdays; plyos, lifting, sprints, w/active, core, stretch and sauna
wednesday; at the track doing some agility and track workout, core, stretch
thursday; plyos, lifting, sprints, w/active, core, stretch and sauna
friday; stretching 2x and core
saturday/sunday; practice or tourney
i think this will allow me to push myself and also get the necessary rest. tournaments will certainly be easier than practice weekends so i can always adjust a little, but 2 lifting days with plyos will be key. also equally important are the sprints. i need to get faster and the way to get faster is by sprinting. weird.
remember, you have the opportunity to push yourself. it is going to hurt and it is not going to be easy. push through and when you can't go anymore, push harder.
your mind might say no, but i guarantee you your body can go on.
believe and work. be the teammate you want your teammates to be and then go above.
