Second Snake found! June 25

I caught my second Hognose today. Woohoo.

Couldn't decide if I should do something for working out today or not? Decided that tomorrow I will go for a run with megan... I could do some kind of workout, but don't want to feel it at all on the weekend. Could also just go for a run, but if I do it tomorrow, it should be good right? I don't know, I guess it really doesn't make too much of a difference, I should just be ready to kick some ass this weekend. Gotta work hard next week before I head to NY for a few days.

100 pushups in 4:35
abs for awhile.

Wed at Stan Street- June 24

Met with Zak, Miles, Patrick at Stanley Street.

We were unsure of how hard to go because of the upcoming tourney, so we shaved some off of the original workout.

1. T drill
Make a T out of cones.

D-----B-----C
!
!
A

2x each direction:
Backpedal A to B
Shuffle C to D
Sprint D to B to A

2. Tennis ball drill, with discs instead of TBs

0-----0-----0
! !
0----- -----0
Start at the blank spot and move to the left (or right) take the disc and move it to the blank spot and continue with others. Hard to explain, but fairly obvious once you get going.

2x each direction

3. 6x 200 suicides 90 sec rest btw each.
(0-15-0-25-0-40-jog to 0-40)

Decided not to do more, which was ok I suppooooosee.

4. Abs and 100 pushups

Pickup and workout

Before Pickup, Zak, patrick and I did a workout:

8x Sprint 10, backpeddle 10, turn and sprint 40 (walk is rest back)
full rest
8x Shuffle 10, shuffle 10 back, turn and sprint 40
full rest
8x Sprint 7, turn, sprint 47

Pickup was fun. Played pretty hard, got SKIED real bad by Brent, SKIED spencer (YEA!) twice real badly. Will was there, that was cool.

Monday

nada, sorish? calves sore from running up suicide hill at the end of practice

Practice weekend- June 20 & 21

We had two practices this weekend. One sat. afternoon, one sunday morning. There are still people trying out and we are still trying to figure eachother out, so it got a bit frustrating at times. I actually found myself not having too much fun, which sucks. What's the f-ing point of all of this, if it is not fun.

THE INVITE WILL BE FUN AS SHIT, because that's what I will make it. At least that's my goal.

These practices got me pretty tired, and it was probably because the O line kept turning it, and having to play D...

Maya's visit was real fun though.

June 19- Maya arrives

Maya came to visit this weekend, and it was time for a day off.

Michelle Akers at the HS- June 18

It was pouring all day.  Work was called off (however I didnt know that til I got there at 5:30).  Still pouring for the workout at the HS with Patrick and Miles.

Michelle Akers

12 x 20 yards (15 seconds rest)

10 x 40 yards (30 seconds rest)

8   x 60 yards (45 seconds rest)

5   x 80 yards (1 minute rest)

3   x 100 yards (1.5 minute rest)

This is continuous, so you just rest at the line after each sprint the allotted time and then sprint back the way you came.  

This is the kind of workout that doesn't really KILL me cardiovascularly (not a word), but fatigues my legs big time, so bye the 100s I was struggling to run fast.  But it was good.  Miles was faster than me on most (Patrick was too, of course), but he was struggling more than I was for sure.

I did 100 pushups and abs earlier in the day, but did more abs after the workout too.

Pumped for practice this weekend, should be good to check out our weaknesses.

JUMPED INTO THE WATER after, cold, but good.

Pickup night #2

Good showing again, probably better than last week.  Rouis came, so that was cool...I guess.  I was going to workout afterward, but after the weekend, all the driving, and waking up at 5 am my legs were not too into that...

I played pretty hard, but that is hard to do just because a lot of people are not.  But I was pretty tired by the end, so thats good.

100 pushups

Poultry Days

Took Friday and Monday off to drive 24+ hours.

Saturday and Sunday I got to play some frisbee and have some fun (mostly with Grant, Charlie Herrig, Will, Ben Ewing, and his friend Wes).  The frisbee was fun, we lost in prequarters, but I didn't actually get to play much or very hard I don't think.

June 11

~4.5 run with patrick down on hemmingway and back up the gutter.
Definitely ran harder than Mondays run, so that was good.

I feel like my recovery time is pretty quick these days.

Pickup night

I got some pickup going for the Summer. Hopefully it will happen every tuesday at 6ish.

We played til about 8:30. There were about 25 people there and a lot of HS kids. It was fun, and I trying to work hard on D when I could, but you have to be real selfish at pickup if you want to get the disc or make anything happen. I was fairly tired by the end, but we did some sprints.

3x 10 yrds, plant and sprint 60
AND
3x:
3x50yrds
not much rest between each

These were not too bad. Kinda hard at first, but could have done more.

Earlier I did 100 pushups and abs

June 8

Despite not wanting to do anything/being a bit sore...

~4.5 miles- Hemingway to the Gutter.

Did not time it, but did not stop at all, so I felt pretty good about it.

100 pushups and abs

CAZ

Monday, June 8, 2009

Travel to Caz- June 5

Zak, Keifer and I drove to Caz and camped out.

It's been hard working out after "work." Spending 8 hours in the sun after waking at 5 makes it hard to get going after getting home...but I'm trying.

June 4

Went and did some working out with Zak Kaufman, Ben Ewing, Russell, Keifer, and Jonah.

We didn't do much, because of the tourney the coming weekend, but it still made me sorish.

2x
(walk back to start after each)
2x100
2x80
2x60
2x40
2x20
Full Rest

Some throwing around.

June 3

1) Warm-up jog
2) Active warm-up
3) Agility drill: 6 x 6-cone drill
4) Agility drill: 6 x tennis ball drill
5) 200 m suicides: 2 x 5 reps; 90s between reps, 5 min between sets

6-cone drill: Set up 6 cones in a straight line, ~2 ft apart. Follow
the progression outlined in the attachment, straight through without
rest. Your shoulders should be square the entire time, facing
perpendicular to the line of the cones. It is a progression of
carioca/quick feet/side shuffling. Every turn should be a hard cut;
don't round anything. Do 3 times in each direction.


Tennis ball drill: Set up cones in the pattern described in the email,
~10 ft between each cone. If you have tennis balls, place one on top
of each cone except for the start cone. As you run to each cone, you
pick up the tennis ball and transfer it back to the empty cone.
Again, keep your shouldersfacing forward the entire time. Side
shuffle across, and backpedal tomove backwards. Do 3 times in each
direction.


200 m suicides: Set up cones at 0, 15, 25, and 40 yds. The progression
is 0-15-0-25-0-40-(jog back to 0)-40. Run everything (with the
exception of the 40 jog) as close to 100% as possible, and focus on
keeping your ass down, planting and turning hard on each change of
direction.

wednesday-5/27

Played at XMN pickup.  Decent.  Had a couple of bids that were close.  Played almost every point.

CUT WINS.


I ended up taking a week off from working out due to the trip to natties.  Sucks to have to do that, but there is nothing better than seeing CUT dominate.
