SEVEN 11 - 17 (20.32 / 7.00) Thursday Night at the Track

Monday 11

Evening run. LM, LS, and drills. 3 miles and 4 x 100m strides. Rolled calves, quads, and hamstrings with the Stick.

Tuesday 12

AM. Soft tissue mobilization for feet, calves, quads, and hamstrings. 
ST. Med ball warm up. Pull ups 4 x 5. Bench #135 3 x 5. Core - Hollow hold and plank 1 minute each. Rope pull 2 x 30. Kettlebell swings #40 3 x 5.
Volleyball.  Spiked Punch made their debut tonight and we won 2 of 3. The team started slowly but had a match point service error. This was not a bad start for a very young and inexperienced team.

Wednesday 13

Lunch XT. RPM Xpress with Julie. New release today. It was a bit of a challenge, not so aerobically but leg fatigue.
My evening plan was to run at the Blvd., but I was so tired after work all I could was lay on the bed. After I was so hungry I had to make dinner. It's OK I wasn't up to running because of tomorrow's track meet and I've been more tired than usual.
I got an email from the meet director and the order of events changed, or maybe I wasn't paying attention until now. They're leading off with the 800, then the 400, mile, and relays. I was thinking and hoping the 400 would be first and I could put out a good effort there then run the others would be a workout.
A list of participants came in the email and I really didn't notice any old guys. I really hope there are some old guys there.

Thursday 14

Thursday Night at the Track. 800m (2:53.91), 400m (1:11.66), Mile (6:57.08), and 4 x 400m relay. I was the oldest guy there, but it wasn't an issue. I hit all my marks but the 400, I wanted to go below 1:10. I think I could have hit the 400 mark if it would have the the first event. Next week it's the mile and I may try to go low if I can find someone to pull me around the track.
