Day 18

Today's Notes:

I gotta say, this project has been one of the most fun things I've done in a while. Now that I'm over that initial "OHMYGOD I'm going to DIE" hump, I'm really enjoying the lifting and the learning. Going out and doing drills has been a blast (except that I kinda skipped yesterday and today, trying to keep myself healthy).

I just hope that these posts aren't boring the crap out of everyone... Of course, this is a totally voluntary experience for you guys. So if it is, uh... You're doing it to yourself. Punks.

HOW I FEEL:

Great. Got out this morning about 6:00 AM and ran my drills in a dewy football field. Reminded me of when I used to play... Only I actually liked doing it today.

The weight sessions are now at the point where I am saving a tremendous amount of time by supersetting every set with something else. It's really bringing the heartrate up as well - it's a fantastic feeling.

I'm actually starting to feel like an athlete... It's been a while.
