I may yet get a chance to play some pro hockey this season. The guy who was coaching me at the beginning of the summer is now hesd coach of a single A minor pro team in a different league. I'd have to travel a bit to do it, which is OK. In a text exchange, he said he'd bring me in when...

As promised, here are a few hockey pix. The last one chopped me from the waist up, but is a pretty cool action shot defending in front of the net. Or would have been a pretty cool action shot!

I did manage a 10mph sprint for a full minute. TM incline set at 10% 2:00 2.5 mph warmup walk. 1:00 6mph run 3:00 2.5mph walk 1:00 10mph sprint 5:00 2mph walk Little bit of stretching and DONE. Dinner time...

I had a half decent run of sleeping better than usual, but that's over. The past week has been typically awful: I wake up every hour for the first 3 or 4 hours; then every two hours for a couple of cycles. Consequently I'm extremely tired. Forced myself to do a chest workout today. I tried...

Back & shoulders training today. Same brief routine I've been in, or similar, at least. Pull ups: 3 x 10 Lat pulldowns: 215lbs: 3x10 Barbell rows: 135: 1x10 155: 1x10 175: 1x6 My low back is a constant issue. I've either avoided barbell rows or only done light weight because of it...

I got very disappointing news today: the "pro development camp" I was planning to attend has been canceled. I got a very brief email from the team including a refund of my registration fee. I am extremely bummed out. Last year, the coach expressed pretty strong interest when I said I'd like...

Another brief training session today. A buddy came over to help with mynconstruction project after he finished with work for the day, so I worked late this evening, until 7:30. I got out tot he gym at about 10 of 8. I usually work out in the morning but I am having to fit it in when I can. I...

Game Wednesday; we played the local university alumni team, all guys in their 20's. It was a very good game. We lost by 2 goals, both weak goals. The first, early in the game, our goalie tried to poke check the guy coming in on him and missed. He's extended way out and the player just stick...

No hockey pix. I'm going to see if a guy who comes to watch can take a few action shots.

Been a little bit. I had a hockey game Wednesday night. Played well and continuing to reap benefits of running. The "pro development camp," as it's being described, is now almost exactly four weeks away. I moved my private coaching to Fridays, so I now have at least one rest day, between...

Pics of "reverse flies?"

Running: I'm set at 10% incline for the entire workout. I ran (and walked) a total of 20:26. I started off walking 2.5mph for about 30 seconds, then ran at 6mph for a full minute. I walked until my heart rate (according to the treadmill) came down to 120 and then continued until I felt like...

Workouts have continued to be sporadic. My younger daughter was here 3 or 4 times longer than expected because of some car issues, which I finally got sorted out. It was a pleasure having her here, but it definitely disrupted the regular routine! That plus the usual house project. I ran on...

Oh, check this out. Someone that goes to my neighbor's crossfit gym has a toddler: 🤠

Things have been pretty hectic lately! My younger daughter is in town. She is en route from the west coast to the east coast, driving. Her car was giving her some issues, so I've been working on it for her (I'm a former service tech) and things keep popping up. She planned to stop here for a...
