Saturday in the Sun
7 FEB was awesome. It started with a terrible night of sleep. I went out and had way too much tea, which kept me up till about 4:00 AM. I woke up at 6:30 and got ready for a boxing session.
7:30 - 9:30 AM
It was just me and the guy with the keys to the gym. We each did our own thing. He left after a little over and hour. I stayed and banged away for 2 hours. Lots of emphasis on power. Lots of my old Thai skills & techniques.
2:00 - 5:30 PM
Sand Volleyball at Hanover's in Pflugerville. Let me tell you - I SUCKED at this. Toook 2 games before my breathing got back to reasonable. And my timing was way off on attempts to spike. My reflexes are still sharp, but I had no accuracy whatsoever on bumps. Setting was so-so. I was worst at the change of direction in the sand. I felt heavy and flatfooted.
Lessons Learned (Reminded):
Since I don't enjoy jogging at all, I think I'm going to start running lateral drills and do a good bit of field work to supplement basic jogging. I still need to make time for my dogs' exercise, so I'll always get a little jogging done.
Weights don't make you a better athlete. They give you more strength potential. PLAYING is required to transfer that potential to sport.
