Update

I haven't been able to get to a computer the last couple days, so I really wanted to post an update. I don't have much time, so this is going to have to be pretty brief, but I'll post something longer tonight.

Sunday morning was our first plyo workout. I would have been perfectly happy letting this first one slide, since it was the first weekend of the year, but luckily Babbitt didn't let my laziness get in the way of a great team workout. And it was a Great workout. We absolutely pounded our bodies for about 3 hours. I'll post a description of the workout later, but rest assured that it was intense. I think that my legs still haven't fully recovered.

We also had our first makeup workout on Monday. While a bunch of people should have participated, a bunch had valid excuses and only five ended up taking part in the workout. I had intended to run it myself, to set a good example, but I ended up being far too sore from the plyos and just stood by the side and ordered others through the workout. Which was just fine. Afterwards, I played our first intramural basketball game (we got blown out), and I lifted.

It snowed yesterday. In spite of some complaint, I decided to hold practice outside on our parking lot. However, it was Quite slippery, so we only ran a couple sprints. We also had several 20 second sessions of high knees, butt kicks, and footfires. Finally, we partnered up and threw for about half an hour. When we were finished, a fair dusting of snow had accumulated and it was definitely too slippery to run, so we all went to Boyden for an ab workout in one of the dusty hallways. That was alright, but it wasn't a very difficult practice.

Today we are meeting at 5 at the Curry Hicks Cage for an indoor track workout. This should be much more strenuous than yesterday's practice, so half of me is looking forward to it and the rest of me is a little more reluctant. Since practice is later than usual, I am going to lift before practice rather than after. We shall see how that works out.
