something i realized this weekend.
i am not training and working for playing time.
i am training and busting my ass for playing opportunities.
if you take the opportunities given, the time on the field will come.
take these opportunities and be great with them.
it is going to be an awesome and painful few weeks.
let's work.
opportunities........

house in the country
after feeling like absolute hell on wednesday, went for a 1.6 mile run on thursday.
this felt allright, with my legs not feeling great, but got into the swing of things.
into active.
some throwing and then scrimmaging with zoo.
felt allright scrimmaging and my legs finally had some pop to them. still not getting out of the blocks well or getting my body in the way as much as i want to. dictate more effectively. also, when you see that disc go up, accelerate, don't just coast through.

was supposed to do some track work yesterday, but my back is not in a good place. also, my legs are absolutely dead. moral of this story is that i need to be running more. next week, i am going to keep up with the plyos, but not lift and substitute runs. some more rest as well.
proposed schedule for next week
monday- bike
tuesday- plyos at track, maybe miracle mile
wednesday- track for some sprint work
thursday-plyos and practice
friday- rest
sat/sun- practice

remember
it doesn't matter how hard you can work when you feel strong, you are defined by how hard you can work when you are weak.

what are you going to do with all that junk?
on a little bit of a sidenote, i have been very happy with my "measurements" lately.
getting on the scale, i have been consistently up at 158-160, which is what i have been trying to get up to. also, my body fat % has been right around 13. this is also really good because i have gained almost 10 pounds and it has been mostly muscle. actually kind of exciting.
the way i have been able to do this is by eating a freaking ton of food and making sure i am working out on my schedule. lots of protein, fruits, vegetables, and carbs. who woulda thunk it?
schedule for this week.
monday- rode bike
tuesday- plyo+lift
wednesday- track
thursday- plyo/practice
friday- stretch, maybe at gym, not sure
saturday/sunday- sectionals. will also be doing a fair amount of scrimmages with ourselves.

they threw money in her pants
was contemplating taking the day off to recover, but really wanted to get muscles warm so i went for a bike ride.
about 10 miles, little bit hilly, but a lot of sloping downhill, which was awesome. pushed a little bit. overall, just wanted to warmup so i can stretch.
i will describe the scene from my bicycle this evening.
there is no better place than western mass. in the fall. even on this first day of fall, the leaves have already started to get a little bit darker green, some beginning to rust and show signs of their color to come.
the sun, blazing orange against deep purple, pink, and blue. as you trace the skyline away from the sun, the purple, pinks, and blue begin to soften and fade.
the smell is that of leaves, just starting to rot, the moisture left over from the morning and evening dew, soon to be replaced by frost. mixed with the leaves, still the freshness of summer, bringing you back to just weeks earlier. amid these two, you can detect the fertilizer, the earthy and robust smell.
the air nips at you, but still it comforts you. fading into twilight, to be repeated tomorrow.
stretching now.
