Last night was awesome! Not only did I turn heads looking sleeker than the last meeting with the team, but it was the first game I've played in years on field and not in goal. Moreover, it was a game in which I played the MAJORITY of the game, running, kicking and impressing everyone I've played with for some time now. in past, when I played forward, I'd run for 2-3 minutes on field, then need a 10 minute hiatus from the game to keep myself upright ling enough to make it down field 2-3 more times in the game. I had always felt as though I was cheating myself out of playing time and cheating my team out of a competitive match. Tonight was nothing like that. tonight I commanded the field, head up and making diagonal runs across space to open the field up for my teammates. I was 16 again for the 50 minutes I could play; and it was one of the most rewarding experiences since my cholesterol test last month.
So now to the workout from yesterday:
I just need 10 rounds AFAP then you're done. 1, 2, 3...9, 10
Bottom up pushups
Frog Jumps
Hanging leg raise
No problem my friend. Workout complete. And it was a good warmup to my game last night, stretching out the main muscles and allowing me to feel ready for my match. BTW, we tied 5-5 and had the lead until the last 30 seconds when this kid had a diving header on a corner kick that would make most professional players drop their jaws.
So, we've now added a new level of measure to this challenge and have raised the bar again with expectations being exceeded at all levels. And I couldn't be happier....
BOOM!
