Getting the ball rolling...

Well here I am starting to get into the swing of things. I can officially say I have "gotten the ball rolling." With running and lifting becoming one of the everyday unchangeables now I am entering the second stage...keeping the ball rolling. This week I am kicking it up a notch by adding a fourth day of running. The lifting will still alternate between 3-4 days but the running is now at four. I'm ready for the challenge and the extra work. Along with the fourth day of running, this week I am adding hot yoga and ACTUALLY some soccer back in the mix. Its time to start acting like a soccer player again. (I dont think I ever stopped) but my feet have gotten a nice break from the cleats. I didn't post yesterday so first here's the track workout we started off the week with..

The lift was short but I kept the weight pretty heavy and I ran right after so I felt okay about that. The run felt good, after a few of the sprints I felt like I was just getting them done one at a time and only intended on doing 10 at first but decided to throw 2 extra in because of how I felt. The only difficult part was the VERY little recovery and the very last sprints which were twice as long and the rest was the kept the same. I dont know if I could have done many more of those. I'm glad I got it over with and dont have to think about my workout anymore.

Well Im off in an hour or so to go coach my first practice. I'm assistant coaching a summer league team this summer and tonight is the first practice. Hopefully I dont make an ass of myself...pretty good chance I''ll will...oh well tomorrow is going to be a rough one since I'm adding in the hot yoga and some soccer workouts. Hopefully I will sleep well tonight because I've got a long day ahead of me tomorrow!
