Training because I love to train.....

After re-tooling some things and doing some new things. I’ve changed it up to get away from the constant work on a track and to spark some liveliness into my workouts.

At work I’m a member of several boards that meet every month. Of those boards one is a Health and Wellness Committee. One of the other members a SWAT team member who runs training workouts at one of our parks on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. He is a certified Cross Fit trainer. So I’ve mixed a little bit of that into the workouts.

Day off

Sunday, 6/6/10

Two Flag Football games. Two play off games, two wins. We are in the semis, but I am a little banged up. We were running option play, when I got the pitch I ran up field and the LB dove in and my thigh about 2 inches above my left knee. Needless to say after research I found that I have deep thigh bruise that has brought on a little swelling in the knee. The knee is fine, but my quad is killing me. Hard to walk without a limp, hard to bend and straighten the leg.
