Back on the Track

Keep varying the program. 

Your body will tell you what to do.

Sunday mornings at the track are really nice. Quiet, still cool and I can usually squeeze in some great skill work on the turf.

First real track day in a long long time. There is something about the football field that I just enjoy. Big numbers, clean lines, I don't know ... fun to play on.  I was not surprised at my times, didn't feel bad at all, but I can tell that it has been while since I have engaged that sprint pathway and I was sucking air by the end of each one ;)!

Warm up

I was really feeling some DOMS today. I enjoyed Friday's work and an unschedule day off for Saturday, which was a blessing because I was tired and the heat was over the top.
