wow
been quite a week. atlanta was dominant. great time. went running a couple days while i was there, staying up to date.
got back, enjoyed some downtime. got back into my routine on wednesday. lifted weights, probably a little too hard. legs felt overworked for a couple of days. be more careful next time. went for a run before i went to practice on saturday. went to new noise practice to get some playing in before tryouts. felt good. wasn't fatigued too much, felt strong and fast on the sprints. got to get my game legs back. stop throwing dumb shit.
i will post more later. a reflection of sorts

white hot heat
been about a week since i posted. really want to do this at least every other day.
get back on track
went for an interval type trail run yesterday. worked out well. really need to push my legs, to stay in that threshold of pain longer. did my 3x10 squat jumps. i think those are actually working.
my team is doing really well. working hard and listening to me. have to really focus on looking to center the disc sooner. like any team, keep the disc moving, options will be there.
really want to get out on the field myself, play some real ultimate. find out where my game legs are.
eating has been pretty good. ate a lot over the weekend, could have been a little better about what i ate, but i am back on track now.
flying to hotlanta this weekend to help coach, pretty f-in pumped.
take some time to reflect each day and make sure you are happy with your output towards your goal. it certainly is not something that is going to be given to you. take time to take it from someone else

blvd. of broken dreams
been awhile since i have sat down and posted. need to do this more often, put more stock in the fact it is a glimpse into how dedicated i am.
this past week has been crazy. started practices, been running pretty consistently, a few more days off than i would have liked, but i will make up for it. more sprints, anarobic type activities. really want to get on the field and test out my field legs, see what i can do.
this week, lot of sprints, stop and go, really work on quickness and acceleration in the first steps. make sure you warmup before pickup.
hopefully going out to boston this weekend to play some pickup with guys that are interested in the new team. show that you mean business from the start.
i have been exhausted. between work, practice, and working out it is taking a lot out of me. how bad do you want to be on the field when it is gametime? it's worth the pain, the grind.
eating has been pretty healthy on the whole. had a few trip-ups, but i have cut down meal sizes and done my best to eat well. think it is paying off.
was told that i look like i am in shape, that's a good sign. shedding a few pounds, keep toning up.
as tired as i am, stay positive going into workouts. know that what you are doing, how hard you are working is worth it. it's what you need to do, to be happy with yourself. this run will pay off when you need, it will pay off when you most and least expect it.
make yourself someone that you look up to

d-d-d-d-d-d-jaaaaaaaaaaaay migueliiiiiiiitoooooo
first day of practice yesterday, pretty pleased. had a team meeting beforehand, went over paperwork, goals, expectations. heard some good things from the players. couple goofballs on the team (probably what i was like) but nothing that will be a problem. went for a 4 mileish run, pretty slow pace. most of the kids kept up no problem. let them go early.
today, we are going to warmup, stretch, go for another 3.5-4 miler, come back, stretch it out, throw the frisbar a bit, warm-up lap on the track and then miracle mile. jog curves, hard run the straights. think it will be a good practice.
i went running with the kids yesterday. pretty simple run, wasn't out of breath at all. after they finished, went to the track and ran 6x80 sprints and then did 3x10 squat jumps. feeling stronger. really looking forward to being faster. i can do it.
eating pretty well, happy overall. april 1st, no beer until after tryouts.
visualize all things before they happen, and then make them happen

dust in the wind
got home on friday and didn't go for a run. kind of wished i had, but i didn't eat too much and felt ok. rationalized it even more by using it as an opportunity to rest my foot.
went for a good, hard 3.5 miler on saturday, threw around a bit, did my 3x10 squat jumps, and stretched. felt good.
got really hydrated saturday night and struggled through sunday, no run.
practice starts today. going to go running with the kids and then sprints on my own after. season should be a lot of fun, good learning experience.
new developments for the club season, have to focus even more, make myself a commodity. have to think long-term, think of the grind, and push myself to another level.

how to save a life
didn't go running yesterday, went to indoor. wasn't too bad. didn't feel too fast. really need to start working on my stopping, starting, changing directions. need to get quicker. still going to keep focusing on interval/tempo runs and sprints for now. really think next week a track will be cleared and i will be able to start tracks workouts once a week, plus plyos.
did my 3x10 squat jumps. quick stretch.
had a lot of food yesterday. would like to be more careful. i feel like i am finally making some progress, don't want to ruin that. had a good enchilada lunch at veracruzana and then a nasty fried dinner at rafter's. tasted good, but oh well. drink more water.
would like to go for a run today. maybe a hard 3 miler. i haven't run my belchertown route in awhile. going to be very nice to go home right afterwork, no primetime.
discs in the air. even if you don't think you have a play, jump. sprint and jump. don't give up because you think it is too high.
focus on the growing ball of energy inside
