I'm going to change up how I BLOG about my training in the very near future. Reading about individual weight increases is getting redundant and dry. I think I'll keep weekly stats and measurements, and any milestones I reach, but keep the individual lifts out of the whole thing. I'm going to focus more on what I am doing, my thoughts on what I am doing, and discoveries I make along the way. Be it supplementation, dieting, new training routines, equipment reviews, etc etc....
So, on to my game from last night. We ended up losing the game, but we only played with 6 guys, and the other team definitely took advantage of the height difference. Short passes were killing me last night, I just couldn't get underneath the route. I was giving them the short stuff, and hoping for a mistake, which never came. I did get to play some offense last night, and have a couple catches, but not scores. I'm sure as Alex gets more comfortable with what I can do, I'll get more opportunities. Right now i'm using it as an opportunity to get some cardio work in, and some work with the guys on the Outlaws. A couple of things from last night. I'm not overly impressed with the NFL Equipment Mayhem gloves. They really loose their grip quickly, until refreshed with water (or sweat, or spit). My Under Armor gloves stayed sticky longer. Also, the medium is just a hair too big, but the small was too small. I'm going to try the Reebok Fade, and maybe see what Nike has for gloves as well. Also, I bought a new pair of running shoes. They are New Balance, and very light, and comfortable. I got to really work them over last night, and I really do like them. I will see once I get to try them at XLR8, and see how they are for running wide open.
Next week, I am wearing long socks, that come up to my knees. My legs got really tore up on the turf this week. Maybe I should try and stay on my feet more, but at the same time, my style is wide open, so full commitment on every play, so whatever happens, happens.
