First day!

Track practice began today, so there goes anytime I may have had to relax...  I am excited though, I have missed practice and my teammates.  At least I wont have to worry about doing workouts on my own anymore! 

Today was a very chill first day.  Coach talked for the first half hour.  Then we went through the warm up kinda slow.  Followed that with some sprint tech work and acceleration/start drills.  Finished up the day with planks.  Then he made me lead stretching...We were actually out of there by 5:30!  Complete craziness!  Overall it was a very nice first day.  I am well aware thought that I am going to be incredibly sore for the rest of the week...

Back to work

Today I got my first work out in nearly 2 weeks. Didn't have two of my morning classes so I went to the freeman center.  Did a nice 5 lap warm up.  For my workout I ran 3 sets of 150, 100, 50.  I felt surprisingly good for the lack of work I have done lately.  not sure I would want to know what my times were, but my legs felt great.  Finished off with a 3 lap cool down to make that a mile.  Then did quick 2 min abs and some push ups.  We will see what kind of soreness I am feeling tomorrow.  I am sure it wont be good.  Monday will be interesting but at least i moved a little today.  I am excited to get this season rolling.

disappionting morning run

Yesterday, marissa and I walked Busch Gardens all day, so I am counting that as my workout for the day, little whimpy I know...

I had a lot of work to do today so I wanted to get up and get my workout out of the way.  That went just fine.  I was up at 9 and running by 9:15.  The plan was to just do a quick two mile loop.  I headed out feeling fine.  It was tough but I was doing fine.  I hit the 20 min mark with over a quarter mile to go and was really disappointed.  Also had to stop and walk about 100 m, cause my breathing got out of control.  In total it took me 25 mins which is beyond sad.  I have a lot of work to do to make up for these past 3 months.  Its a good thing my competition is never more than 100 ft!

Fall Break

So now that it is fall break (cant believe the semester is halfway over!!!) and i have a little bit of time on my hands, I am hoping to get a workout in everyday.  This morning I went over to the track.  I ran a mile of jog the curves stride the straights, 5 min rest, then a mile of jog the straights stride the curves.  I was pretty proud of myself.  I was tired but i made it happen!  Afterwards, i did a set of 2 min abs, and 25 pushups.  Lots of my upper body strength was missing this morning :(  Then I played around with handstands for a while, since coach wants us to get better at them.  That was fun!  Not a bad first workout since monday!  Hopefully this can be a good start towards getting back in shape for practice in 2 weeks!

Good luck to the CNU soccer teams today!

Finally!

Got a workout in on monday, it had been over a week :(  Just went out on a run, ended up going the whole noland trail.  In all it was 5 miles.  half mile to the trail, 2.5 on the trail, .5 mile walk, then last two miles of the trail.  It actaully felt really good.  I cannot believe how much i was able to do despite my lack of training lately!  The rest of the week has been busy again, but hopefully I can at least get in 1 more work out this week.

unfortunately life has been a little to crazy for workouts.  Research has gotten really busy, but I have gotten a lot done.  Hopefully I will be able to recover time in my schedule to get back to running here soon. One half hour run in two weeks is really bad!!!  Oh well, guess life happens sometimes.


Congrats to the Volleyball team for their win last night!  and Good luck to Soccer and Football in their games today!!!
